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

Welcome to my collection of Yuri manga that I hold in a high regard. Because I am a very picky reader when it comes to art, all manga here have at least decent art, with most being absolutely delightful. There is no manga in this list I've rated lower than 8. To note, about a half of them are still publishing.

List of manga that don't have an entry on the site(which is a shame):

Stitch You Together - 10/10
Sea You There And Us - 10/10
She Becomes a Tree - 10/10
The Overworked Office Lady's Café Crush - 10/10
Sirius: Twin Stars - 9/10
The Blue Star on That Day - 9/10
Soulmate - 9/10
How to Break a Triangle - 9/10
My Best Friend Who I Love Fell Completely in Love With My Vtuber Self - 9/10
Amasaya - 9/10
About a College Girl Who Gets Picked Up at a Mixer by an Older Girl - 8/10
Will These Words Reach You - 8/10

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

**Expect mild spoilers as I give extremely brief reviews for each title.**

This list will always be in alphabetical order. Some will have adult scenes but none will contain force, blackmail or BDSM.

If the ratings on my profile tell you nothing else it should tell you this; I am very a harsh critic. My average for animé and manga are both in the 5's and, considering how many titles I've completed, will likely always be there. If I rate something a 6 or higher I really do think it's worthwhile. So everything in this stack is something I would recommend at least trying.

This stack is for all of the lighthearted yuri manga that I have rated 6 or higher. This includes currently published manga that will be getting a 6 or higher from me, unless something changes, when they end and I finish reading them. This stack will be updated as I find new titles.

All manga in this stack are manga that have ended and never received a TV or movie adaptation and that I have read and given a rating of 6 or above. This stack will be updated as I find new titles. Expect Yotsuba&! (8.5) to make this list when it ends as I highly doubt it will ever get animated (Azuma is refusing to allow it).

For my all-time highest rated manga (8.5+/10) go here; https://myanimelist.net/stacks/15361?view_style=seasonal

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 :)

Part 2 can be found here: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/24126

Just some good GL I have had the fortune of reading and would like to recommend to others

NSFW at the end

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 :)

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

I sometimes have a girl love phase and I thought why don't I just make a new interest stack of that.
So I did that.

I'm not putting in all the GL manga I've read.
I chose the mangas I just really love! and some because I think it's worth reading.

I think I'll update regularly.

If you think there are any stories missing that would fit in my list. Then let me know via a chat message! I'm looking for more!!

a spoon full of diabetes

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

nsfw ver - https://myanimelist.net/stacks/42367

Mangas published from 2020 onwards.

I read the first chapters of all of them, some I like and others I don't, but hey, variety is the joy.

Obviously I'm not going to put all the romance mangas, if it's something shady and meaningless it doesn't belong here. Additionally, the manga must have a little recognition by the community.

I will gradually catch up with all the mangas on the list to see if I remove them or not, I'm not going to be picky. This list is not about my tastes, it is with love from me to you, Mr. and Mrs. strangers.

Finally, there is everything here, yuri, yaoi, ecchi, not ecchi. The only thing I won't put will be NTR and all its variants so liked by our Japanese friends.

Update: complete list, i have eliminated mangas by well-known authors as they are very recent. Enjoy ♡

Manga presented in this stack are Yuri that fit in multiple but not all of these criteria:

1. Have couples who are open about their relationship to others, especially their friends and family.
2. Explores the struggles of being attracted to someone of the same sex.
3. Continues the story even after the main love interests get together.
4. Absolutely no cheating.

I have put the corresponding number for each criteria satisfied in their description.
