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, Historical)
I Love Amy (GL, Psychological)
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

Ranges from professional detectives to cops to women or girls investigating more or less serious cases.

An ever-growing stack that includes office workers!

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

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

honourable mentions not on MAL:
Hide Your Tears, You Crybaby & Today I'll (Make You) Confess by Minami (High School, Manhua)
Fugue Across Worlds (Historical, Manhua)
I Love Amy (Psychological, Manhwa)
Heroine toka Yoku Wakannai kara, Akuyaku Reijou to Nigemasu (One-Shot)
If It Rains Next Week (One-Shot)

Manga where the muscular/fit girl(s) is either a primary or important secondary character.




Let me know of any other manga I've missed.
Or not; you decide.

No matter if you're a regular yuri reader or not, maybe you'd like to try somewhat more niche titles which don't fit in the "yuri is the purest form of love" stereotype that was created by the public? I'm not saying all of those are unsung masterpieces, but I think at least few are worth checking out, depending on your preferences.

Note: arranged in the order of release. Some of the titles are NSFW.

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.

At least one main female character is physically strong, preferably the protagonist.

Physical strength applies both to hand-to-hand combat and proficiency in wielding weaponry (marksmanship, swordsmanship, archery etc.) as well as ability and talent in a physical sport.

No magical/supernatural power allowed unless it enhances physical strength.


Part 1 is here: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/39375

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 :>

NSFW Queer manga for the homies, maybe don't share with your parents

Some are borderline nsfw and the titles near the bottom are far more 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

A list of all the Shojo and Josei manga titles licensed in English by Seven Seas Entertainment continued

Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/56379

Some licensed titles without MAL database entries:
- Adored by an elite officer: Could this be love?
- Shindou-kun's tight squeeze: Helpless Against His Alluring Touch

This is a list of all the Shojo and Josei manga licensed by eManga (Digital Manga Publishing) that I could find. However, they have an extremely large BL and GL selection that I didn't look through entirely, so if that is of interest, they are marked as specific sections on their website and have their own imprints (June and Lilyka which merged with eManga). DMP/eManga has been around a long time and many of these titles are Out of Print.
