-Not really yuri but a real life account from a woman ordering a lesbian escort service and experiencing sex for the first time. It details a life I can honestly relate to myself as a mentally ill queer adult who still hasn’t had sex yet either. There is also sequel (My Solo Exchange Diary) but I have yet to read it, tho i’m sure its just as good so check that out too.
-Prepare for lots of drama and angst but ultimately one of my fave manga’s. It has an anime too if ur craving for more Citrus!
Mushroom Girls in Love by Kei Murayama
-A unique adventure manga about an all-female mushroom planet and the challenges of two girls in love.
Bloom Into You by Nakatani Nio
-A slow-burn, poignant yuri that will tug at your heartstrings. Also has a brilliant anime.
Notes:
I realise a lot of these r not manga but honestly a lot of webtoons/manhwa r good as they have actual adult relationships. A lot of yuri manga is focused on school girls which is fine but as I’m an adult now I prefer to read about ppl my own age. However, I have a soft spot for some younger-themed yuri as I imagine what it would have been like had I had such a school life. Ah, the wasted years…
As u can probs tell, I prefer lighter-themed manga-with some exceptions (Citrus & Bloom Into You i’m lookin at u)-and a good dose of comedy. I like fluffy slice of life but sometimes want a more sexually-charged read. It depends tbh.
Anyway, I still have a lot more yuri to read so will probs do a part 2 to this sometime in the future. Look out for it!
