Overwhelmed by all the choices out there? Or completely new to the subgenre and don't know where to start? Worry not, I've gathered some of the most loved and popular titles in the genre most Yuri fans start out with. ⊂◕‿◕つ

- No Fully Gag or iyashikei Manga
- I Will Allow a few others of those series if there is dramatic scenes in them even if its sparse.
- There can be male protagonists in the series, but at least 75% of the manga has to revolve around the Female Lead.
- I Will also not include SOME harem/romance manga, but only some, a bit abitary but again dont wanna conflate the list
- I May count genderbent manga

A collection of some of the best lesbian/yuri/sapphic manga that are finished publishing and accessible to western readers. A lot of rec stacks that I've found include a lot of manga that either aren't done or aren't easily accessible. The genres featured range but all are very well worth it lesbian romances with an emphasis placed on queer authors.

I've read a few dozen sapphic manga and this stack includes every one that is finished publication that I have rated a 7/10 or higher.

Each entry is labeled with the tags best describing their genres, content warnings (when relevant), and a brief description of why they make the list. I find that most recommendation stacks lack content warnings and I figured I could hit as many birds with one stone as possible lol.

Spoilers will be kept as light as possible, but by listing Content Warnings, certain themes/plot points can be extrapolated. There will be no specifics, though!

The entries are organized by score that I gave - 10s, 9s, 8s, 7s. There is no specific order to which show up within those sections though!

I will update this stack as some favorites finish publishing and as I read/discover more! :)

manga featuring girls love that feels realistic - or, at the very least, is not fetishizing being wlw. this is my favorite genre of all time, so expect a lot of updates as I read more.

An attempt at an exhaustive census of all the girls love mangas published in France. The french publishing market has recently seen a boom in yuri releases, when prior to the past few months, very few mangas on the topic were released.

Complete list of the book 501 mangas to read in Spanish

I couldn't find the manga (Miss 130/Miss DD) It's on myanimelist's to-be-approved list, it's practically a hentai manga

I couldn't find the manga (Dekoman - Asoko mangaka ga kimyō-na art o tsukutta riyū) but the author, Rokudenashiko, is more interesting than the manga itself.

Girls Love GL mangas and manhwas with some ecchi / erotic stuff (not hentai)

I base my list simply on the manga listed on MyAnimeList (https://myanimelist.net/manga/magazine/4/Afternoon).

Those I haven't had yet and which have a good chance of moving up in the rankings: EDEN: It's an Endless World, Historie, Endou Hiroki Tanpenshuu, Neko ga Nishi Mukya, Ookiku Furikabutte, Vendemiaire no Tsubasa and Sister Generator
