F/F Manga Reccs?

[personal profile] dani_phantasma 2016-09-06 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
Does anyone have any reccs for good F/F yuri mangas? Now that I'm living on my own I'm making a collection of comics and mangas I wouldn't have been able to have before.

Good M/M comics are welcome as well.

Girl Friends is adorable and really good. Idk if you can get it printed in English though, I read it in scanlations because I heard it was cute and couldn't find it anywhere in hard copy. It's really shojo-ai not yuri though, there's only one sex scene near the end and it's not very explicit. Sex Friends is yuri and pretty cute too. It's about two bffs who are also FWBs. Again I read it in scanlation and idk how easy it would be to find an English copy.

Actually I'm not sure if Sex Friends is the title of the yuri one on second thought...sorry :(

I can do M/M.

Anything my Yoneda Kou, Ichikawa Kei, or Hidaka Shoko. I love everything those three have written and reread them all the time. Other stories I have liked

Hana to Usagi by Kashima Chiaki: Fairly cute story about a guy who has anxiety so he wears a bunny mask.

Akiyama-kun by Nobara Aiko: This story has kind of a messed up beginning, but it actually turns out really sweet.

Yamada To Shounen by Mita Ori: This is probably another author I would recommend all their work for. I especially like the way they draw bodies. It's not unrealistic or idealized.

I'm not sure if it's possible to buy all of these, but you can definitely find them online.

Maka-Maka by Kisha Torajiro is pretty much just yuri smut between two friends with benefits. Occasionally, there are scenes of the two main characters having sex with men, but the emotional heart of the manga is the connection between Jun and Nene, sexual or not. The art is all full color. 2 volumes. OOP, originally went for $20 apiece (and these are gorgeous books, so it was worth it).

Whispered Words by Takeshi Ikeda is a high school romance. Tall, athletic Sumika is in love with Ushio--but Ushio's type is a sweet, tiny, girly girl. 3 volumes.

Okazu is a good resource for yuri news and views. I don't always agree with Erica Friedman, but her opinions are clear enough that I usually can read one of her negative reviews and figure out if something is right up my alley. http://okazu.yuricon.com/

My favorite scanlators are Lililicious. Manga volumes, oneshots only published in obscure magazines, doujinshi, and the occasional anime can be found at their site. Pietà by Haruno Nanae is my favorite, but they have so much to explore. http://www.lililicious.net/

Revolutionary Girl Utena is a classic, and with good reason. Most people consider the anime better than the manga, but the manga is still definitely worth reading IMHO.

Couple of the White Room is another classic, hugely influential on the yuri genre. Fair warning though; it's angsty as fuck.

Wife and Wife is a cute slife-of-life type thing. IDK if there's an official English translation, but you can read the scantalation here - http://dynasty-scans.com/series/wife_and_wife

Honey & Honey is another cute slice-of-life manga. Again, not sure if there's an official English trasnlation but here are the scans - http://dynasty-scans.com/series/honey_honey

On the M/M side - The Heart of Thomas is basically the M/M equivalent of Couple of the White Room; written in the 1970s, hugely influential on its genre, and very VERY angsty.

Revolutionary Girl Utena is getting a reprint by Viz that will put all five volumes plus the movie adaptation in two "deluxe" volumes in Spring 2017. Some Utena fans don't like the manga which is...distinct from the anime, as they were developed at the same time but differ at certain plot points and the endings. (Full disclosure: I'm a Chiho Saito fan.) It's not her best manga, story-wise, but the art is gorgeous and she does full justice to the relationship between Utena and Anthy (which I believe is the only same-sex couple she's ever drawn, not counting isolated illustrations).

More of a slow burn shojo-ai than yuri and also a Chinese webcomic rather than a manga, but I'm very fond of Tamen De Gushi by Tan Jiu. It's very adorable.
