(not just manga but I don't want to bog down the title)

some of them are BL or yuri. some of them just have random gay side characters. sometimes. the random side character is trans. if you are insane like me, you will read the whole thing just for that one queer character.

are you sick of high school plot lines? me too

I edit this list often.

Here's a list of yuri/gl series with less than 5000 users which deserve more exposure .

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 :)

Every manga covered by the Mangasplaining podcast in Season 1. Episode 5 covered What The Font? but there is no MAL entry.

yuri / wlw / GL manga by women, for women. this is a work in progress -- feel free to send recs!

Here are all the josei manga I think one should read in order to cover all bases. I organized this list by general theme, with publishing series at the bottom.

We start off with the classic slice of life and coming of age stories, then to a couple of autobiographical manga, then to the dark and realistic drama stories, then to action and horror stories, then to mystery stories, then to the rom-coms, then to the more light-hearted slice of life stories, and lastly to the important ongoing series.

I'm currently using this list too, despite me being the one who created it!

An ever-growing stack that includes office workers!

Like an LN, it is in the title. These are some lesser known manga I recommend giving a chance. All yuri. About 5 thousand members or less as of early 2023.

This stack is for any manga prominently featuring sapphic characters that was published in a female-oriented manga magazine.

Note: There are plenty of sapphic shoujosei manga, this is just a small selection.

Bisexual Characters in Manga. Some are headcanons- those are indicated by question marks. Also, since LGBT vocab usually isn't used in manga, some are arguably pansexual, polysexual, or omnisexual.
