Hey

My girlfriend is looking for a good explicit yuri manga. Do you guys have any recommendations? She is looking for ones that have been officially published and can be bought physically.

Thanks.

I just started Ayakashi Triangle, it's a gender bend romcom by the same author of to love ru.
Currently it is only available in Japanese but it should get an English release soon.

My time has come :D (sorry to necro, but you clearly need some help here)

Hanjuku Joshi: an explicit queer teen love story about two high school girls discovering their sexuality. Super horny energy. A direct rebuttal to GL love not being 'real love'. Published in Yuri Comic Hime.

Honto no Kanojo: Not without its issues, not least of which its abrupt ending, but it's a legit GL BDSM series with some actual fetish content. Which if you know GL at all, is like finding a real life unicorn. Published in Hirari.

Prism: another high school love story centering on a case of mistaken identity. Gets explicit, and is quite genuinely gay. Author is an absolute creep, but this story isn't one of the ones catching the brunt of their fascination with underage girls.

Ikemen Girl to Hakoiri Musume: Not explicit for a while, but pretty good. Involves some trans coding, even if the character in question isn't actually trans, just having to pretend to be a boy due to... a dumb self-imposed misunderstanding. Just a genuinely sweet college romance with good chemistry.

Tsukiatte Agetemo Ii kana: Not the most explicit thing ever, but supremely gay. It's the story of two girls discovering they're both gay, and deciding to go out. Then comes the hard part. Actually being in a relationship with each other. Author understands LGBT+ issues and culture to some degree.

There's also Husky and Medley, but that's not physically published afaik because it's based on a possibly apocryphal 4chan thread about a girl crushing on one of her classmates and asking the anons for advice on how to get with her. It's really beautiful and super funny if your gf likes characters who are awkward and adorable around each other.

I have more if you want, but don't wanna swamp the thread with recommendations.

I thought Hanjuku Joshi was really good when I read it a long time ago.

Bloom Into You is pretty explicit at times. Well, I'm not sure what we are talking about when we say "explicit." If explicit means pornographic then I don't have many suggestions.

If "explicit" means that the characters are explicitly dating, no teasing or unfinished relationships, then I might have a few other good ones.

By the way

This fits my tastes, but I was disappointed to see that it's still ongoing. I only try to read Completed series. Do you have any other recs where the focus is on identity issues and the author handles it well? Bonus points if it has confirmed relationships and physical affection, doesn't need to be pornographic. Doesn't need to be exclusively lesbian. Shimanami Tasogare is a good example of what I'm into.

@elleryV Sure! I hate unconfirmed relationships and lack of physical affection too, in any kind of romance media (unemotional BL and 'actually roommates' GL are the worst, boo!) but there's sadly only so many completed works with that good shit :3
Well, there's:

Ichido dake demo, Koukai Shitemasu. Looks creepy on the surface, but once you know what's actually going on it's literally the sweetest, cutest, most domestic relationship ever. Actual relationship goals at times. Manages to carry more eroticism and sexual tension in two pages of goddamn handholding than most hentai manga.

Kakeochi Girl. Two girls used to be girlfriends when they were in high school, but broke up because it 'was time to grow up'. One of them held on to that for another twelve years, until they finally met up again. Unfortunately, her ex-girlfriend is pregnant and getting married to a guy. Things... get complicated.

Oya ga Urusai node Kouhai (♀) to Gisou Kekkon Shitemita. A short, four chapter story about a girl escaping her overbearing parents' desire to arrange a marriage for her by marrying her best friend, who just needed a place to crash due to some money problems. Talks about abusive helicopter parenting, homophobia, and having the confidence to stand up to it.

Omoi no Kakera. A fairly unique, bittersweet, thoughtful manga about queerness and teen identity, first and foremost. Expect some heartbreak with this one. It is not a romance.

Bokura wa Nandomo Koi wo Suru, a gay timeloop story about a guy trying to tell his carefree, globetrotting friend with benefits that he loves him, grappling with himself the whole way. Not perfect, but very enjoyable.

Sabishisugite Lesbian Fuuzoku ni Ikimashita Report is a beautiful, heartfelt examination of self love, and what it means to be depressed and LGBT while living in an intolerant/uncaring society. Absolutely brilliant.

Neon Sign Amber. One of the better BL short series I've seen that isn't just incredibly cute, emotional smut (looking at you, Usagi-chan, Doshikori Moushiagemasu...) so definitely worth a look in if you want something that's fairly realistic. Has a fair amount of grappling with gay feels and learning to be okay with one another, iirc.

Lastly... Otouto no Otto, aka My Brother's Husband. A family drama about a Canadian coming to Japan to visit his deceased husband's twin brother and pay respects to the family. It's not a romance. Deals heavily with how gay people are seen in Japan, with realistic homophobia and plenty of LGBT history notes from the author between chapters. Basically, Gengoroh Tagome got real sick of straight Japanese people dunking on LGBT in his presence, and made this tome of 'not being a basic bitch' to educate them. It a family drama of incredible quality, and I do not say that lightly.
