[badass-at-fandoming]

Hello! Love your yuri recs ! You seem to read alot of yuri so I was wondering if you knew of any yuri with bisexual leads? I love I'm in love with the villainess and was hoping to read more like that.

Ahh, thank you! I love yuri manga, and, thank God, there's always more to discover. I'll do my best, but if you want to do a real deep dive, I definitely recommend following @yurimother! Her Year End Yuri Guides are treasure troves. Here is the 2023 manga one. My blog here is mostly about queer vampire shenanigans.

I'm In Love with the Villainess is the crème de la crème! You have great taste! Because it's the best, it was hard to find another title where all those great elements came together: it's got slice-of-life school stuff, transmigration into a fantasy world, and explicit queer rep. Your mileage will vary with a lot of the below recs. Due to cultural factors and the Japanese publishing industry, most stories never state the characters' sexual orientation. It was a major deal when I'm In Love with the Villainess used the word "gay" and "lesbian." I tried to find manga with two or three of the story elements that make In Love with the Villainess great.

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! + Side Story: Girls Patch - This light novel/manga/anime/otome series is probably your best bet. An otome-obssessed high schooler dies and transmigrates into the otome Fortune Lover...as the villainess character! Determined to avoid her character's grim fate(s), Katerina basically goes out of her way to befriend everyone. Men AND women fall for Katerina, but she's oblivious to their feelings. The Girls Patch side stories features alternate scenarios where Katerina recognizes the women's feelings. The series isn't yuri in the traditional sense, but Katerina's chaotic bisexual energy is off the charts.

Revolutionary Girl Utena - After receiving a rose signet ring from a prince, Utena vows to become a prince herself. Her princely senses are outraged when she discovers her elite boarding school has a secret, underground sword tournament to win the hand of another student. This "Rose Bride" needs rescuing, and Utena steps up! The manga and anime differ, but either one are classics of the yuri genre. Probably the second closest of what you're looking for.

These next 4 are fantastical/transmigration yuri stories, but I couldn't figure out if the characters are bisexual:

The Executioner and Her Way of Life - Executioner Menou is tasked to protect her world from transmigrators by killing them, without mercy, on sight. She doesn't question her task until she meets Akari, whose immortality presents a serious problem. A darker story, but an interesting deep dive and perspective reversal on the transmigration genre.

The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady - In a magical country, Princess Anisphia has no magic except the "magicology" she remembers from a past life. Euphyllia is a magical genius with a broken engagement. Together, can they revolutionize magic as the world knows it?

5 Seconds Before a Witch Falls in Love - The witch Meg loves making trouble for local witch hunter Lilith, but a prank goes too far when Lilith turns into a cat. Stuck caring for her nemesis, Meg's feelings change from animosity to something else entirely.

The Whole of Humanity is Yuri Except for Me! - Marika is determined to be a normal girl and live a normal life, with a job, husband, and kids. Accidentally traveling to an alternate, all-woman universe puts a serious wrench in her plans! Hilarious sci-fi fun.

The last 4 are contemporary stories featuring people with previous partners:

Girl Friends - Mari is a shy student at a big high school. When the bubbly, popular Akko takes her under her wing, Mari wonders where the line is between friendship and romance. I ADORE this manga. Morinaga-san is my favorite mangaka.

Kodama Naoko's work - Kodama-san has three titles that fit and I wasn't sure which would perk your interest the most. NTR is trashy teenage sexcapades about two women "practicing" physical intimacy with each other and enjoying it more than time with their boyfriends. Melodrama and teenage stupidity to the MAX. My review here. I Married My Best Friend to Shut My Parents Up is like the reverse of that: a fluffy, p mature rom-com about falling in love after marriage. Days of Love at Seagull Villa is a mix of the two, with melodrama, sexy silliness, but between two adults. Kodama-san is fond of ridiculous boob physics XD

Citrus - Speaking of trash, have you read Citrus yet? Yuzu comes home from school one day to discover her mom has remarried. She takes one look at her new step-sister Mei and realizes she's a lesbian lol. Just like, turn your brain off and settle in for a soap opera. I'll just link my review of this one because it's terrible but compelling. A Journey.

Even Though We're Adults - To end on a high note, Even Though We're Adults follows Ayano and Akari, who meet at a bar one night and let the sparks fly. Drawn to each other, they must decide how much of their comfortable lives they're willing to change; most notably Ayano has a husband!

Best of luck, Anon! It's a bright world out there.

MECHA LESBIANS???

#ze.txt #me hearing the new gundam has a female protag: oh NICE gotta check that out #me when yurimother posts about it to reveal there's a surprise yuri proposal: I NEED. TO WATCH THIS OH MY GOD

[communist-ojou-sama]

People balking at yurimother posting that art once again exposing their ignorance of yuri as a genre and what yuri means. The notion of yuri as "lesbian manga generally" or "works depicting specifically romantic relationships between women" is an utter western fiction by people who don't know anything about the art form. Yuri is about intimacy. Yuri is about intense, thematically rich, often ambiguous relationships between (usually) girls. Yuri has no inherent implication of specifically romantic longing and if you think it does that's a personal problem.

Everybody following yurlm0ther for the news but I can’t stick around that shit for 10 seconds without seeing an incredibly dismissive and factually incorrect “review” of something I cherish dearly trashing it for nebulous and poorly defined reasons with comically exaggerated poor scores,

#if fukaboku is a 5/10 for art you just. don't have eyes. you are blind. you are literally blind. #yurimother opinion pieces are hot flaming garbage

Yuri Master Akiko Morishima Explores the Single Life of an Older Lesbian in Newly Released Manga

On February 15, 2023, Akiko Morishima released the English version of her doujinshi THE SINGLE LIFE vol.1: 60-year-old lesbian who is single and living alone (Hitorimi Desu: 60-sai Lesbian no Single Seikatsu) digitally on Amazon. She released the manga under the name Akiko.

The author describes the 30-page manga:

This is story of a 60-year-old lesbian who is single and living alone. Miyuki is single, female and a lesbian. No girlfriend, no life partner... and today is her 60th birthday. This is the first in a series of short stories that portray the single life of those who are of a sexual minority and are middle to senior aged.

A Japanese edition of The Single Life was released on Amazon in January.

Akiko Morishima is a celebrated Yuri author. She has created LGBTQ+ works for over 20 years, exploring realistic depictions of queer romance, culture, identity, and life. Many of her works, such as The Conditions of Paradise (Rakuen no Jouken), published in English by Seven Seas Entertainment, featured adult characters even when such depictions were uncommon in the Yuri genre. Her other works include the manga adaptation of Yuri Bear Storm (Yurikuma Arashi), licensed by Tokyopop, Hanjuku Joshi, and Renai Joshika. She has also contributed to the Chocolat and Syrup (Seven Seas) Yuri anthologies.
