And since I'm here, I might as well add a request that would soon be coming anyway:
Any anime/manga/light novels similar to Marimite? I'm very very interested in the Class S genre, so anything that falls in that category or has at least been heavily influenced by it would be much appreciated. I'm mostly looking for strong platonic relationships and the type of senpai-kouhai dynamic brought on by the sœur system. BUT, anything with strong friendship bonds (even if the setting isn't similar to Marimite) is welcome. And yuri is also welcome if set in a school with a sœur system.

Asking for platonic friendships in a yuri recommendation thread almost feels disrespectful to the long and hard journey the genre took to dig itself out of the Class-S cesspool. But alas, dfifferent folks, different strokes. If the theme is strong "platonic" relationships then I suppose according to the author at least https://dynasty-scans.com/series/nettaigyo_wa_yuki_ni_kogareru will be to your liking.

Though I cannot offer an exact copy of the sœur system, I have recently played through the 3 translated Flowers games on Steam (I do not know if links are allowed, but you could search for the developers "Innocent Grey").
They are visual novels that center around the relationships between girls at an Christian all-girls boarding school in Japan. In that school they have an "amitié" system, which is basically the sœur thing except for girls of the same year. More or less a friendship like bond that turns the girls into platonic partners for their entire school time.
Sorry if this may disappoint, but it is entirely explicitly Yuri. Nontheless the setting and tropes are very strongly inspired by the old Class-S era of Yuri (which it thankfully subverts).

I kinda get what you mean, but I doubt I'd ever find a Class S recommendation thread lol
My interest in Class S actually started because of its heavy hold on yuri. I find it quite intriguing to explore the history of the genre itself, and —though at times it can be awfully frustrating— I'm interested in seeing how female relationships were viewed.

But I can't deny that I also quite enjoyed reading about platonic relationships. I've read so much yuri for the past couple of years that I seriously need something different sometimes lol

(lol at that comment)
Unfortunately, I've already read this one, but you were right in guessing that I would like it

I guess I may try the visual novel you recommended. I don't mind that it's yuri, since it has a setting so similar to what I described. Besides, having the same tropes subverted will be interesting to seeing how yuri works have evolved, it'll be fun to compare it to Marimite.

Thanks for all your recommendations!

Hi ^_^
I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for any manga or oneshots with a senpai-kouhai relationship(eg. Bloom into you). I don't mind SFW or NSFW :)

My favorite is A Love Letter For The Marching Puppy. It combines traditional yuri ideas about a senpai mentoring a kouhai with the harsh stakes of military life, but without sacrificing cute moments.

I came across Maple Love and was reminded of an old request OrangePekoe had made ages ago:

I really want to read more yuri manga with girls with wavy hair, like Kawaruokoto, Mizuno & Chayama, or Witch Meets Knight. Thanks!

So if you're still interested in girls with wavy hair, there you go

Searching for best fan-doujinshi. I've read pretty much everything in Love Live, but searching for other pairings that have good stories.

I especially enjoy adult life, and annggssttt with happy endings!

What is your guilty pleasure yuri manga?

hey everyone! does anyone know of any yuri manga that has a plot wherein Girl A confesses to Girl B, only to get rejected by her at first since Girl B doesn't realize she actually likes her back too, and they eventually get together in the end? this is super specific but it's been running through my mind since reading straight girl trap lol.

and any yuri recommendations that have angst with a happy ending are welcome too!

I require assistance. I'm on my gay bitches withdrawal and I need something cute, preferably dumb couples, tsunderes, being-found-out-while-making-out cliche, and a little bit of handholding, pardon my language. Ah also not Chinese for disclosed reasons.

TL;DR: any light-hearted cute yuri recommendations pls.

Try "Straight girl trap". It's on mangadex. Chinese manhwa, adult life, coworkers.

What happened here...? Lol

Anyway, I've got one that I think fits your request, @homuranesoberi
It's Sheep And Ice Cream. Unfortunately it's only a two-shot, so if you were looking for a series, sorry to disappoint.
Here's the Former Part and the Latter Part

Personally, the one I liked best from that anthology was I Don't Care About the Music. It's not related the whole confessing/rejecting/getting together thing, but I'd recommend checking it out since you like angst. The tags are pretty self-explanatory, for anyone else who might be interested as well.
Edit: I just saw that I Don't Care About the Music has a second part as well (which I had forgotten about), so you can check it out, if you like the first one.

So..I liked WDTFS and Moonlight Garden. What now? xD

Recs with one girl being sorta yandere. Maybe a 'yandere lite' or a 'harmless yandere' type. And the other girl being sorta oblivious about it.
I know i read some here before but i cant remember the title/s.
An exanple at the top of my head would be kotori/umi stories that were inspired from 'no exit orion'.

That's kinda the relationship between Yui and Chinatsu in Yuru Yuri.

Oh yeah that kinda fits. But also i think yui kinda knows but chooses to ignore it.

Perhaps what im looking for is sorta an "ara ara" type of yandere lite? I dont even know what i mean, lol.

Any sort of recs would be appreciated ^_^

Is there more stuff from Thailand besides In Your Paws and Your Smile?

IIRC, Garun was from Thailand as well.

There's Lily Love if you can look past the stupid character names.

Not sure if there are many who read LNs on here but I'll ask-

I'm looking for light novels along the lines of I've been killing slimes for 300 years, (im up to vol7), Bofuri (doesnt have to be real isekai), that im also reading, kuma kuma bear, Ledale, and Watashi, Nouryoku wa Heikinchi de tte Itta yo ne!

So that is Isekai LNs that are laid back, and/or wholesome generaly - with a super OP female MC.

Can anyone reccomend any? Also- kuma kuma bear and Watashi, Nouryoku wa Heikinchi de tte Itta yo ne! - ive only seen the anime- anyone read and reccomend the LNs? I didnt rate Make My Abilities Average anime that much- they did almost nothing with her isekai/OP abilities as far as the anime went.

Seijo no Maryoku wa Bannou desu
Ikinokori Renkinjutsushi wa Machi de Shizuka ni Kurashitai
Fukushuu wo Chikatta Shironeko wa Ryuuou no Hiza no Ue de Damin wo Musaboru
Maybe also Tensei shita Daiseijo wa, Seijo de Aru Koto wo Hitakakusu, been a while since I read the first volume.
Tonikaku Imouto ga Hoshii: Saikyou no Kyuuketsuki wa Mujikaku Gohoushichuu! - sadly seems to be axed after one volume without getting a proper ending, though. And the only one actually yuri in any way on this list.

And in a way Kenja no Deshi wo Nanoru Kenja might fit as well, but the MC was a guy before finding himself in a girl's body in the game world/isekai.

^^^^/^ thanks!

@luinthoron Thanks for the suggestions- I will check all those out! And I didnt mention but while it would be nice, I wasnt specifically thinking of ones that had yuri.

As long as its female MC, mostly female cast, then I can enjoy a story almost as much as if it was yuri :) I wouldnt really be interested in one with het romance, but yuri isnt required.

That was more for the rest of Dynasty, but most of those would indeed go for het romance, except as noted (and I'm still not sure in which direction the last one will go). Hard to find a mostly female cast like those you've already read...

^Yeah I saw most go into romance which i guess should be expected for a female MC LN- but last alchemist and She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man dont seem to be at least. Im suprised theres even as many as there is since almost all isekai are male mc.

I will try those 2 out and look for more- maybe there's some good female OP MC isekai web novels or manga too I can find..

Oh, Alchemist is definitely romance.

If yuri is what you want, there's also "Omae Gotoki ga Maou ni Kateru to Omouna" to Yuusha Party wo Tsuihou sareta node, Outo de Kimama ni Kurashitai, but the whole reason I didn't include it in my original recommendations is that it's quite the opposite of the laid back or wholesome stories you wanted, as much as the MC longs for such life.

Try Opium. Savior is another good option if you're okay with butches.

I am new to this so sorry for posting this on wrong thread.
