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

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 :)

Yuri manga set in the workplace.

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! :)

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.

Edited to add/remove some titles. (3/20/2024 3AM)

Added too many to list comfortably.

part 3:
https://myanimelist.net/stacks/55310

Works in which the main protagonist has been in previous romantic relationships prior to getting together with their main love interest, or is established to have been in a romantic relationship prior to the events of the story.

Do you want to read as many manga as possible?
Do you want to read manga of different genres?
I try to collect as many manga as possible that are only one volume long.
Please check the genres before reading!

- Note: I haven't read every single one of them. It's also a personal reading list
Have you finished the first part? Here is the second part:

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...)

Other works that I couldn't post:

Shoujo Sect
Maka-Maka
Simoun

Queer manga published in English through Yen Press.
