Embedded Files
As I am not sapphic myself, extra care went into compiling this list. Some sources used: Okazu, Yuri no Boke, The Evolution of “Recognition/Assertion of a Lesbian Identity” vs “Akogare” in Manga, The Legacy of Women Critics and Their Gender-Based Approach.
Please note that older titles might not have aged well, and could have offensive humor or a sad ending for the character/s.
The list will be updated as I discover more titles; if you feel something should be added or removed, please contact me 🙇🏻♂️
Some works are marked as 18+ but there could be some that I missed, please double-check yourself before reading!
