On the shorter side, but this is a very heartwarming story about two vastly different couples and how they create a music club in a school that didn't have one. Great realistic cast who have realistic struggles and also happen to fall in love. Plot revovles equally around romance and music, one doesn't take away from the other.

A realistic look at two individuals who are seeking hard answers to importants questions such as how you're supposed to love someone else and what should love feel like, while working on also figuring out their relationship with one another. More on the serious side with the difficult themes presented here, but it has very cute and funny moments as well as a extremely well written growing relationship that feels realistic.

Extremely funny and charming story about a tomboy making the girl she likes fall for her. The art is beautiful (full color), the characters are unique and feel like they're based on real individuals. As such, the relationships with each other and the struggles they face feel very real as well. More on the lighthearted and funny side, though it does have it's more serious moments when it counts. Unfortunate that the author stopped working on it, but it's one of the best slice of life Yuri media you'll ever read.

English title: False Marigold.
A grieving sister pretends to be her late brother to keep his memory alive after his death, and as such, courts his blind girlfriend in his stead. Extremely good writing, very deep themes explored with elements of drama that are presented very well. Great cast of characters, as well as a good antagonist that was just introduced. Very interesting, though it does also have some cute and fluffy moments! It's not all dark and gloom.

You might think with the premise of magical girls fighting, a Loli as the main character with "good reasons" why she looks young, and healing magic that is transfered by literally kissing, that this would be filled with innapropriate sexualizing. I'm happy to report that not only does it have nothing of the sort, this manga explores some very dark and important themes surrounding war and the moralities of it. But,on the flip side, they also depict love in such a beautiful way. There is nothing predatory or even sexualized about it, seriously amazing stuff.

This story revolves around Hinako, who experiences tremendous survivor's guilt after her entire family perishes in a terrible accident. She meets Shiori, a monster who promises she'll eat her. So, you can expect that it's a pretty dark and heavy story. If your mental health isn't in the right place, I would put this one on hold. However, if you want to venture into something a bit darker than the usual cheesy and often cringey Yuri romance, then this is for you.
