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)

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)

Welcome to my collection of Yuri manga that I hold in a high regard. Because I am a very picky reader when it comes to art, all manga here have at least decent art, with most being absolutely delightful. There is no manga in this list I've rated lower than 8. To note, about a half of them are still publishing.

List of manga that don't have an entry on the site(which is a shame):

Stitch You Together - 10/10
Sea You There And Us - 10/10
She Becomes a Tree - 10/10
Childhood Friend, Big Love - 10/10
The Overworked Office Lady's Café Crush - 10/10
Sirius: Twin Stars - 9/10
The Blue Star on That Day - 9/10
Soulmate - 9/10
How to Break a Triangle - 9/10
My Best Friend Who I Love Fell Completely in Love With My Vtuber Self - 9/10
About a College Girl Who Gets Picked Up at a Mixer by an Older Girl - 8/10
Will These Words Reach You - 8/10

girls love manga without any weird troupes

That certain niche of yuri/gl that has music as its main or side premise. It scratches a certain itch in my brain that makes me not get enough of it so here you go!

My personal yuri reccomendations and other manga series with canon sapphic characters.

nice GL manga that felt not as fetishizing from the taste of an ace sapphic :)
basically took out my fav GLs from my enjoyable safe queer manga stack + adding more that won't fit

+ also manhwa, manhua etc. but keeping the title simple

**Exit’s That Way! - is very NSFW + discontinued but still good imo

honourable mentions not on MAL:
Fugue Across Worlds (Historical)
I Love Amy (Psychological)
Heroine toka Yoku Wakannai kara, Akuyaku Reijou to Nigemasu (One-Shot)
If It Rains Next Week (One-Shot)

Like an LN, it is in the title. These are some lesser known manga I recommend giving a chance. All yuri. About 5 thousand members or less as of early 2023.

Edited to add/remove some titles. (3/20/2024 3AM)

Removed:
Anemone wa Netsu wo Obiru

Added too many to list comfortably.

Eso, se que ya existen 7 de estos pero son los mangas que vi que no están en esas otras listas

List of gl/yuri manga where the writing is actually good. May include some non-explicit series with yuri themes or undertones.

Mangas published from 2020 onwards.

I read the first chapters of all of them, some I like and others I don't, but hey, variety is the joy.

Obviously I'm not going to put all the romance mangas, if it's something shady and meaningless it doesn't belong here. Additionally, the manga must have a little recognition by the community.

I will gradually catch up with all the mangas on the list to see if I remove them or not, I'm not going to be picky. This list is not about my tastes, it is with love from me to you, Mr. and Mrs. strangers.

Finally, there is everything here, yuri, yaoi, ecchi, not ecchi. The only thing I won't put will be NTR and all its variants so liked by our Japanese friends.

Update: complete list, i have eliminated mangas by well-known authors as they are very recent. Enjoy ( ´_⊃｀）♡ (❀❛ ֊ ❛„)
