A collection of manga about manga artists

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.

Titles focused on painters, paintings, illustration, illustrators, and various types of drawings from various types of artists.

This list contains GL mangas that I found very amazing (might include some explicit content) both completed and ongoing (but mostly completed). (づ ᴗ _ᴗ)づ♡

manga or novels, or just writing in general.

A part 2 for my original “Non-Highschool Yuri (Adult GL)” stack found here: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/11110

Titles with manga artists characters from different demographics and genres. They can be realistic, romantic, comedic, sexy or horrifying! Includes autobiographies.

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

Work in progress!

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)

Removed:
Anemone wa Netsu wo Obiru

Added too many to list comfortably.

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 a small collection for those who love short manga.

Yuri that contains otakus, otaku culture, etc

Other works that I couldn't post:

Shoujo Sect
Maka-Maka
Simoun

examples of manga in which the love interest/main romantic lead is a mangaka! i'm specifically using 'mangaka' with the loan word meaning of 'artist or creator of a manga' rather than the japanese 'all authors' meaning. the mangaka must be shown drawing, referencing, or making their manga at some point during their romance for the title to be considered, however characters working on unpublished mangaka/doujin artists will also be considered.

(updating!)

not on MAL:
I Can't Fall in Love With Paperman by 肆嘉 (Si Jia) & 七渺渔
'When a BL comic artist transmigrated into the princess of Liao, she resumed her career... but encountered her "dear son" who crawled out of the book and refused to be gay! Faced with a sword to her neck, will she surrender or resist? What's worse, the plot is no longer under her control; who's the mysterious person behind the scenes controlling everything?'
