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)

Yuri manga set in the workplace.

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

An ever-growing stack that includes office workers!

A part 2 for my original “Non-Highschool Yuri (Adult GL)” stack found here: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/11110

age gap where both characters are adults. High schoolers are so passé it's all about old farts now <3
My criteria for this list
-my general age gap is at least 10 years, but I have made exceptions for series I like
-the older character needs to look older, I don’t just want 2 identical looking bishies
-the exception to this is non-human or reincarnated beings if I like it enough
-the age gap couple needs to be the main couple in the story
-The younger character needs to be at least college aged, or older. I don’t want HS characters even if they are of age

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:
Hide Your Tears, You Crybaby & Today I'll (Make You) Confess by Minami (High School, Manhua)
Fugue Across Worlds (Historical, Manhua)
I Love Amy (Psychological, Manhwa)
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.

for all things queer (mixed genres)
*Genderless Danshi and Madoka no Himitsu aren't explicitly lgbt if I remember correctly, but it does deal with gender nonconformity

manga/manhwa that feature office-based romances! this is a pretty open list, so fantasy elements are welcome, but the characters must be working in some sort of professional capacity, work together or within the same company, and must be seen to be doing work often. if the characters met while working from home, this may be accepted (home office), but work unrelated to a central office environment will not be considered (delivery drivers, superheroes, etc). if the couple met in the context of office work, but later chapters explore their lives outside of this, this may be accepted.

isn't it funny how almost all of them have covers where the love interests stand side by side?

(updating!)

not on MAL:
Princess-kun to Knight-san - Saikyou ni Kawaii Kouhai ga, Kareshi na Wake by Yokozawa
'Kiyoko Naito, a 179cm tall office worker, is an older sister-type girl who is admired by everyone for her crisp personality. When she was a little girl, she used to long to be a princess, but due to her height that increased as she grew up, she is now in the position of a "guard" for the girls around her. One day, one of her juniors at the same company, Takeru Himeno, who had a bad reputation as a "plain and boring type of guy" and was worried about her, told her about a very unusual situation concerning him. She then decides to take a risk for Himeno, who is in fact a very talented man. I'll be your shield, so let's stop forcing ourselves to hide! From the next day on, the two of them are in a true "princess and guard" relationship...? This is a cute and happy love comedy between Princess Himeno-kun, an immensely beautiful boy that everyone looks back on, and his protector, Naito-san!'
