As the title says, these are manga that focus on a female protagonist that seeks revenge. Whether fantasy or a modern setting, these center on blackened main characters who, after having their morals tainted, aim to exact revenge on those who wronged them. Unlike their male-protagonist counterpart, the female-centric stories tend to feature less gore, but they are not excluded from it.

Note: If a series had both a LN/novel and manga, then only the manga was included to allow space for more entries.

Revenge-centric with Male Protagonist Stack: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/1307

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:

My Mom’s a Superstar (GL)

I was very surprised to see that this list didn't exist on here already, but here we go.

Here is a list of all the yuri manhwa i could find just for y'all like me who wants to read more of the Korean yuri manhwa that's out there.

I would also add Ratana Satis' series "Pulse" to this list, but alas it is not listed here on the site for some reason.

Any manga or manwha that primarily revolves around sapphics in a college environment.

Note: I did not include any overly explicit series in this stack.

Manga in which the main female character has another female character as her love interest. The dynamic between them is unhinged, toxic, or controversial. It contains lolicon, violence, abuse, stalking, incest, and other sensitive themes. The genres are diverse: comedy, slice of life, drama, fantasy, horror, supernatural, and more.

This stack is an extension of Unhinged Girls Manga [https://myanimelist.net/stacks/24003]. Check the previous stack for more titles.

+ also Unhinged Girls III debuted -> https://myanimelist.net/stacks/48487

=================================================================================
For titles that aren't on MAL db: https://www.tumblr.com/gyuridb

Female characters that possess mental fortitude and don't break under pressure. They must have great resilience in the face of difficult or dangerous situations or even tragedy. They don't have to be super smart or geniuses, mental fortitude/stoicism is what matters. Preferably physical strength isn't their main characteristic but their mental fortitude.

Action manhwas available on Tappytoon

What is Doom Yuri?
Simply put, it's a yuri relationship doomed from the start, whether due to toxicity, incompatibility, or tragic circumstances. Their love is fated to wither, never reaching a happy ending. :(

It’s a deeply angsty and sometimes bittersweet theme in yuri.

Some that aren’t on MAL:
- Getting to Know Grace


Sigh… Some yuri covers truly are so deceptive, aren’t they? (╥‸╥)

tragic manga with mature themes centering complex, flawed queer characters. these aren't your average toxic yaoi/yuri with crap representation & unrealistic/fetishy characters/dynamics. these don't necessarily end tragically, so no spoilers here. (TW: SA, CSA, abuse, suicide, self-harm, among others). features trauma, loss, abuse, grief, complex relational dynamics (for example, trauma bonding, codependency, and the like), and f*cked-up people doing f*cked-up things, among other things. most of these works are explicitly queer, but there are a few that are open to interpretation. basically, read these if you'd like to suffer.

some works i couldn't include because of the limited nature of MAL's database (summaries from official publishers)

Kill Me Now by Cosmos - Assassins, Yuri (ongoing)

Haegu, a proficient and merciless hitwoman, executes a man in front of his own daughter and takes the child under her wing. She decides to name her Mian, the word for "sorry" in Korean, and gives her one mission: "Kill me when you can." From that moment on, Mian decides that she will do this by choking Haegu with feigned love and emotionally manipulating her into submission. But as Mian grows into an adult, she's thrown into confusion as what was supposed to be pure revenge turns into lust... and possibly real love. Meanwhile, Haegu grapples with her own feelings for Mian while continuing to carry out life-threatening missions. Can Haegu and Mian ever learn to truly love each other, or are they doomed to drown in their toxic cycle of violence and revenge?
