I haven't really been keeping up with the sequel, but how did UQ Holder mess up Konoka/Setsuna? Are you talking about the main character being related to Konoka? Because apparently he's revealed to be a clone of Negi, not his son, so it's not like Negi married Konoka or anything like that. Not to mention Konoka's twin grandchildren (that look just like her and Setsuna!) appear as supporting characters.

I haven't read it in a looong time. I stopped when I got turned off by the way the plot was going. I just heard a thousand outcries of how Konoka/Setsuna was ruined, but maybe it was a false alarm then? That's actually a relief.

Yeah, KonoSetsu is fine. Mind you, I'm mostly just going off of TV Tropes here but from what I understand most, if not all, of those complaints went away as more plot stuff was revealed.

This might sound a little weird, but anyone here can recommend me some good yuri manga with an important (or at least vocal) friendly male character? Things like Vampiress Lord with Rin, I'll Cheer on my Yuri Onee-chan with Futaba or my favorite boyo of all time Cerik from Mage and Demon Queen. But please not any guys that might be involved in the relationship/interfering anything, unless it's in a very comical way or something like the Itta case from Girl x Girl x Boy

Did i dare recommend Bloom Into You because i may assume you know it already and maybe less know but very good too (and my second personal favorite yuri) Beauty and the Beast Girl from Neji with the dad being really supportive.

Bloom Into You would be the obvious recommendation with Maki there if you for some reason haven't read it yet.
Sasameki Koto has Kazama's brother.

You really notice the lack of guys in yuri manga when you start looking for recommendations like this... Could also add Octave, I guess, but it does also have one of those guys you don't want to see.

Ohh... I don't remember any guys in Beauty and The Beast Girl. Did i miss something?

If you talk about the manga, i tend to say yes if you're into flufff, little drama and monster girl. If you talk about supportive male character, i'd say yes too because there is the Dad of the human girl and i'd say he is very ok with the relation.

Maybe Their Story. Mophead! There’s also a bunch of other male (and female) characters to liven things up, like the buttmonkey class-prez.

There’s also Kashimashi Girl Meets Girl. The MC’s best friend does have a crush on her, but it’s played for comedy and doesn’t interfere with the yuri relationship struggle. He’s supportive when it counts and does a good job at being a best friend.

Octave just wasn't for me tho... Not my cup of tea

Understandable, it can be heavier than most of the stuff here. I did love it myself, but even so it's not one of those I often re-read.

I love Octave but I have to read it sparingly as well.

I would also recommend Hakodate Youjin Buraichou Himegami Probably the best action Yuri on here (imho). The male characters never interfere in the romance of two main characters although I would say near the end is a pretty dark scene.

Other ones I can think of.... none atm. But I could recommend Aerial Magic. A webtoon but worth checking out.

Urgh i don't reallylike this one, you feel the axe at the ending as the ending is way too open for being a real closure.

It did not feel to open to me. I felt like the final scene was oddly rushed.

Hi, I'm looking for genderswaps yuri manga that the girl got genderbent to a guy instead x girl and thanks in advance!

Just to clarify, are you looking for…

A) a female getting genderswapped to male but still identifying as female (because otherwise it couldn’t count as yuri), together with someone female in body and mind.
B) a female getting genderswapped to male in body and mind, together with a female in body and mind, and you consider it yuri because the first character was originally female.
C) something else that I didn’t figure out.

Due to the second and third laws of genderbending, stories fitting A are probably extremely rare. B would not be considered yuri on this site because the genderswapped character would be completely male.

The only thing remotely fitting A that I can come up with would be the webcomic El Goonish Shive. It’s a webcomic that’s manga-influenced but not drawn in a particularly manga-like style, but it has characters of various gender identities genderswapping their bodies back and forth a lot, including a lesbian couple with one of the two involved having a male body for a part of the story. However, most genderswapping is male-to-female and only one of the characters temporarily swapped female-to-male is in a lesbian relationship. The other two lesbian relationships haven’t been genderswapped (yet).

Instinct and a Chromosome has surprisingly fresh and positive male character, though it's only one-shot. Still it's good one.

Ok I am super confused right now tbh ._. But let me try to explain the best I can. What I’m trying to say is I’m looking for a story where the girl that got genderswap into a male but still have the same mindset to a female with a female with same body and mindset. And yea that’s the best I can describe it ._.

That’s A and I think it’s pretty rare, if it even exists. Good luck with your search.

Would anyone be willing to hook me up with some Takemiya Jin stories that are more lighthearted, or at least have happy endings? I quite enjoyed the ones from Love Stories Log (also still interested in any good yuri involving trans women or polyamory, as always)

I'd say. Never heard of anything like that.

Idol Pretender is the opposite of that.

Chouchou Nannan is pretty lighthearted. It's a love triangle, but not an especially angsty one. Probably my favourite from her that I've read.

It's not as bad as people said to be honest, even if the latest chapter have a bit to much of japanese terms in it. But honestly, peoples give so much discredits when it's not that bad. At least someone was translating it.

Exactly. And I actually thought those untranslated Japanese terms left in were kinda neat.

Not really yuri manga (maybe closer to shoujo-ai??) but they both have a mostly female casts and mcs with good male side characters. They are, imho, the top slice of life mangas.

Aqua (the prequel) and Aria - Follow a teenage gondolier on Neo Venizia (terraformed Mars) as she goes on many adventures. Also has a great anime with a stellar soundtrack. It is one of the most relaxing stories to read and watch. I also ugly cried when it ended.

Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou - One of the best slice of life mangas imho. One if my all time favorites to boot. It follows a female android running a remote cafe in very post-apocalypse Japan. Years and years after the apocalypse happened and people have reestablished some semblance of a society. It has an ova that you can find on youtube that also has a great, relaxing soundtrack.

I recommend reading both mangas while listening to the soundtracks.
