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 :)

yuri / wlw / GL manga by women, for women. this is a work in progress -- feel free to send recs!

It's hard to find queer Manga and it's even harder to find ones with good representation.

Manga with queer themes are often extremely sexualized (yaoi and yuri for example). They often feel very disingenuous, as if the person writing the Manga has never even talked to a LGBTQIA+ person. These Manga are often written for straight audiences that just want to get off to a gay couple.

But luckily there are a few Manga that have really good representation and that are often even written by a queer person.

Here are my recommendations as a person that is also part of the LGBTQIA+ community:

Manga against the patriarchy.

LGBTQ+ characters in seinen, josei, or just mature manga

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.

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.

These manga deal with the struggles many people face as they enter the adult world, such as sustaining a career, navigating relationships, or finding a place in society.

These manga have serious discussion of sexual relationships and sexuality. Not just shameless smut!

Same as in the "Yuris published in France" stack, except that this one lists yuris but also more ambiguous titles where the romance is not always obvious.

Women dealing with family, friends, careers, marriage, pregnancy, children, adultery, relationship to food, sexual orientation, beauty standards and more.

This was supposed to be a private list, I haven't read most of these myself, I plan to, but then I thought maybe some people are looking for similar stories so here it is.

May contain nudity, sexual content and/or triggering topics and scenes.
