A compiled list of all the 'Girl's Love' genre of manga that I have read over the past 2 years that is overall wholesome and has a decent story/art.

There is no specific order to this list. I have made them from my most enjoyable series to least enjoyable. Do with that as you may.
This list contains manga that is both completed and ongoing.
"Wholesome" = Healthy Relationship (with communication, trust, respect, honesty)

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)

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

girls love manga without any weird troupes

That certain niche of yuri/gl that has music as its main or side premise. It scratches a certain itch in my brain that makes me not get enough of it so here you go!

Yuri/GL manga that contain a gyaru character as a main character or presence in the series!

I love gyarus and gyaru yuri is one of the yuri sub genres i love consuming, so here’s a list of just that!

* - unofficial translation of the title

most have lgbt characters, some just have ~the vibes~

this list currently isn’t being updated since I don’t really use MAL anymore. might come back to it in the future though.

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:
My Mom’s a Superstar (family x showbiz, Manhua)
Hide Your Tears, You Crybaby & Today I'll (Make You) Confess by Minami (High School, Manhua)
Fugue Across Worlds (Historical, Manhua)
Heroine toka Yoku Wakannai kara, Akuyaku Reijou to Nigemasu (One-Shot)
If It Rains Next Week (One-Shot)

Manga of all genres including gyarus ヾ(≧▽≦*)o
Generally, the description of a gyaru girl is someone who has loud clothing that looks sexy and a matching loud personality.

manga with inclusive portrayal of love that seems realistic and won't make you cringe
(including BL, GL, rated mature)
