Please don’t refer to “Claudine…!” as shoujo ai/yuri. It’s a oneshot dealing with a trans man struggling to find a woman to love, and mislabeling that manga means that y’all are mis-gendering Claude. :/ If you want old school yuri, try Oniisama e….

- USA president Barack H. Obama: *on a podium about to give a speech*
- me: *bursts out of the crowd, shoves him away and grabs the mic*
- me: yuri artists PLEASE draw things besides school girls. yaoi has so much diversity but with yuri 90% of it is always school girls. and even at that it's the same black haired tall cool girl meets brown/blonde haired short shy girl nonsense. why do you all keep doing this? where is my yuri mafia styled girl gang? yuri aliens in space? yuri robotxscientist in a sci fi setting? minimalist yuri story that evokes the awe and wonder of Ico or SoTC? anything!! please! use your imagination!
hello!!!! i never post on here anymore but am doing so today because i need to share with you all something very important: a yuri manga rec list !!!
a few notes before i get to the list:
- i made this because i know it can be intimidating + difficult trudging through to get to the good stuff so i hope this helps a bit
- i’m going to try to give general warnings for things but there’s so much here i know i’ve missed some, so definitely keep that in mind
- i only considered complete manga for this list! yuri/shoujo ai (and some of these are the latter) manga are particularly subject to being cancelled or dropped, and i didn’t want to put anyone through that heartbreak haha
- i ended up with a total of 15 bullet point recs, so maybe i’ll do another one some time, or just add more? i’ve read…a lot……………..
- feel free to message me with questions, additional warnings to add, etc
and now for that good content, in no particular order:
yuri manga that isn’t about schoolgirls recommendation list
hi everyone! since a lot of yuri manga centers around school girls it’s easy for series that don’t fit the mold to get drowned out. i’ve decided to make this list because always good to have and acknowledge variety!
i’ve split up the list into two sections: series about adult women and series not about adult women
avengeshipping-deactivated20150 asked:
What are your favorite yuri couples? Also do find any yaoi shippings cute as well :) just curious.
littlegaywitch answered:
All time favorites are Utena/Anthy, Bubblegum/Marceline, Fang/Vanille, Madoka/Homura, Xena/Gabrielle. I also have a really passing love with slash of Beatrix/Dagger in FF9. I apparently am really in love with the pink/purple (or blue) like pair up in my yuri idk.
As for yaoi ships, yes, I do. Though I don’t reblog them here very much because I want this blog to be all about the ladies. There’s a few exceptions of things I think are too cute. I have a reblog blog for m!slash that I just reblog art of BL- Mostly it’s free!, Welcome to Night Vale, and Dramatical Murder right now though.
So many good choices for yuri! and kyaa Free! Is so fluffy especially MakoHaru ^.^ Must check out Night Vale and Dramatical Murder fandoms as well.
welcome to night vale is utterly fabulous!!!!!
But be careful with Dramatial murder. It’s a bit dark- it’s a BL visual novel so it’s got nsfw in it too hahah I like it though ;w;
to be honest, I see more yuri fans shitting on yaoi fans and it’s really annoying
well, I guess both have their share of rotten apples
holy shit i’m not the only one who noticed this thank god
hell yeah! also people parade on like it’s the best thing to ever exist, when it also has its fair share of shit
i like reading yuri more than yaoi because you can find more characterization and chemistry between the couples (+ cute girls in love is never a bad thing), but man it has fanservicey shit too, like sakura trick (not that there’s anything wrong, just way too bland for me)
Yuri manga by women about women (who aren’t in high school)
Sadly a lot of them are one shots, but there’s a few longer ones. A lot of yuri manga is tragically too short and I’m always left wanting more. D:
After some struggles with myself, I ended up putting stories about college aged women so long as it’s not “innocent school life” heavy.
Yamaji Ebine
- Love my Life (this one has a movie. A uni student coming out to her father and finding that her parents were both queer as well.)
- Indigo Blue (A novelist caught between feelings for her boyfriend but also her feelings for another woman.)
- Free Soul (22 year old aspiring manga artist writing a manga about a black jazz singer. Artist falls for a trumpeter of a jazz band.)
- Sweet Lovin Baby (A young woman befriends a lesbian couple and falls for them. With three other short stories.)
Morishima Akiko
- Conditions for Paradise- An OL in love with a world hopping freelance journalist
- We’re Aiming for Love Now (Journalist and a cutie in a cosplay store)
- Happy Picture Diary - (REALLY FUNNY. An social worker and an editor’s daily life together. All chibi but with some really real lesbian life jokes)
- Off-Time (an aging lesbian short one shot)
- 20-Year-Old Girl x 30-Year-Old Maiden- (one shot, a 30 year old sensitive about her age with a 20 year old woman in her art class)
- Princess of the Stars- (short- almost didn’t make it b/c high school flashbacks but it’s college roomies and it’s short and sweet- and challenges that “girls experiment with girls in high school then grow out of it” thing that people in Japan sometimes think)
Other Artists:
- Ohana Holoholo: Torino Shino (Saya lives with her bisexual former girlfriend and her son. Nico, an actor living up stairs and a close friend, drops by for a visit almost everyday. Somewhat like family, and somewhat not, a story about their lives)
- My Unique Day-Sakamoto Mano (women in an acting troupe together. one shot)
- Abracadabra- Tanaka Minoru (a magician and a cute girl dealing with confessing to a girl for the first time)
- Lonely Wolf, Lonely Sheep- Mizutani Fuka (two women with the same name meet. Warnings for self harm)
- Cirque Arachne: Saida Nika (Two women working in the circus in a trapeze act. Stellar cute.)
- Maple Love- Otsu Hiyori (meeting in college; really cute)
Two that I recommend but are set apart from the others because one is written by a man and one is written with the male audience in mind respectively
- Kusari ha mou iranai- Uso Kurata; two Office ladies
- Octave- Akiyama Haru (seinen manga; a talent manager and a songwriter)
This is by no means an exhaustive list and I know there’s more (one particularly that I wanted to put on here but couldn’t remember the title of) so feel free to add on your favorite adult queer lady manga to the list!

Takeuchi Sachiko - Honey & Honey is a cute slice of life autobiographical novel about the author’s relationship with her girlfriend. She throws in explanations of Japan’s LGBTQ culture as well.
