manga with queer relationships and minimal to no sexual content that i found likeable + felt not as fetishizing as most others
(not that there's anything wrong w sexual content but it's hard to find stuff in these genres that aren't mostly written for the smut)

stack created by a sex-repulsed biro ace :)

+ manhwa, webtoon, novels, etc. but it's easier to keep the title simple lol

honourable mentions not on MAL:
Fugue Across Worlds (GL)
My Mom’s a Superstar (GL)
The Best Smell/ The Scent of You (BL)
The Story About You x Me (BL)
Robber x Lover (BL)
Adding You to My Cart (webtoon with MLM charas)

part 2: myanimelist.net/stacks/47394

We have so many school Yuri stories out there, but finding anything with characters that are adults is much harder, so I hope this list can come in handy to someone :)

Focusing on completed works, but there are a few still ongoing that made it to this list because they're great!

The items are in no particular order.

Themes:
Office lady Yuri, working adults, cohabitation, college/university Yuri
I will be focusing on SFW works, but NSFW are included in this list with proper warning.

girls love manga without any weird troupes

A list of both mainstream and criminally underrated yuri/GL I’ve read that DO NOT take place in high school. There’s a lot of yuri centred around high school and middle school settings and certainly not enough between adults.

Hope you guys find something here to your liking :)

queer manga that i really like as a gay man. this isn’t complete - i will add more soon

A collection of some of the best lesbian/yuri/sapphic manga that are finished publishing and accessible to western readers. A lot of rec stacks that I've found include a lot of manga that either aren't done or aren't easily accessible. The genres featured range but all are very well worth it lesbian romances with an emphasis placed on queer authors.

I've read a few dozen sapphic manga and this stack includes every one that is finished publication that I have rated a 7/10 or higher.

Each entry is labeled with the tags best describing their genres, content warnings (when relevant), and a brief description of why they make the list. I find that most recommendation stacks lack content warnings and I figured I could hit as many birds with one stone as possible lol.

Spoilers will be kept as light as possible, but by listing Content Warnings, certain themes/plot points can be extrapolated. There will be no specifics, though!

The entries are organized by score that I gave - 10s, 9s, 8s, 7s. There is no specific order to which show up within those sections though!

I will update this stack as some favorites finish publishing and as I read/discover more! :)

nice GL manga that felt not as fetishizing from the taste of an ace sapphic :)
basically took out my fav GLs from my enjoyable safe queer manga stack + adding more that won't fit

+ also manhwa, manhua etc. but keeping the title simple

had to remove i love amy bc the author is a weirdo sorry

**Exit’s That Way! - is very NSFW + discontinued but still good imo

My Mom’s a Superstar (family x showbiz, Manhua)
Wish You Were Gone/네가 없었으면 좋겠어 (working adults, Manhwa)

You got a big catch!?

Welcome to the Fishing & Scuba Diving Stack, my friend. Surprised that there is so many Mangas around this Hobby? Well I am! Here is a Stack all around catching Fish and watching them under the Water! Hope you find something... fishy?

I did not include (or at least tried) regular swimming Manga in this Stack, as it would be to much for one Stack. (Maybe in the Future i will create a separate one)

~~~
Is something missing? Is something wrong with an entry? You can contact me and tell me if there's anything wrong or missing! I´ll be happy for any help!

a spoon full of diabetes

I'll be including everything I've read except for certain series which feel wrong and/or fetishizing. Feel free to let me know if you feel like there is a manga included in this stack that feels like it shouldn't be here.

I know this doesn't make the stack any more credible but, it was made by a sapphic person so at least you can be sure I won't be including any stuff that grosses me out.

(PS: More descriptions will be added later on... maybe...)

manga featuring girls love that feels realistic - or, at the very least, is not fetishizing being wlw. this is my favorite genre of all time, so expect a lot of updates as I read more.

Compilation of manga that i find interesting, some aren't labelled yuri but I included them for the tension and vibes. I tried to make it as varied as possible :>

SFW Queer manga for the homies who need something to read in public :)

Some may be suggestive but not explicit

I can't promise these are all to everyone's taste or be something you can vibe too, I'm a-spec so take these as you will ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ also no promises that these are "safe" or "wholesome", It's fiction
