A compiled list of all the 'Girl's Love' genre of manga that I have read over the past 2 years that is overall wholesome and has a decent story/art.

There is no specific order to this list. I have made them from my most enjoyable series to least enjoyable. Do with that as you may.
This list contains manga that is both completed and ongoing.
"Wholesome" = Healthy Relationship (with communication, trust, respect, honesty)

(not just manga but I don't want to bog down the title)

some of them are BL or yuri. some of them just have random gay side characters. sometimes. the random side character is trans. if you are insane like me, you will read the whole thing just for that one queer character.

Has art that is unique to many common styles.

I edit this list often.

manga with queer relationships and minimal to no sexual content that i found likeable + felt not as fetishizing as most others
(not that there's anything wrong w sexual content but it's hard to find stuff in these genres that aren't mostly written for the smut)

stack created by a sex-repulsed biro ace :)

+ manhwa, webtoon, novels, etc. but it's easier to keep the title simple lol

honourable mentions not on MAL:
Fugue Across Worlds (GL, Historical)
I Love Amy (GL, Psychological)
The Best Smell/ The Scent of You (BL)
The Story About You x Me (BL)
Robber x Lover (BL)
Adding You to My Cart (webtoon with MLM charas)

NSFW series mentions (i’ve been branching out):
Oh! My Assistant (BL romcom, this one is filled with a ton of smut but it has one of the healthiest and sweetest relationships i’ve seen if u can get past the few misunderstanding arcs! and refreshingly realistic lgbt representation)
Exit’s that way! (GL, also filled with smut but still very engaging story-wise, unfortunately discontinued)

Collection of finished and unadapted Romance manga.

girls love manga without any weird troupes

some completed manga i think are worth reading.
the list is updated regularly.

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 :)

Here are all the josei manga I think one should read in order to cover all bases. I organized this list by general theme, with publishing series at the bottom.

We start off with the classic slice of life and coming of age stories, then to a couple of autobiographical manga, then to the dark and realistic drama stories, then to action and horror stories, then to mystery stories, then to the rom-coms, then to the more light-hearted slice of life stories, and lastly to the important ongoing series.

I'm currently using this list too, despite me being the one who created it!

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! :)
