Does anyone have any recs for some good yaoi or yuri manga? I don't care how chaste or how graphic it is. Just toss out some of your favorites :)

Okay, admittedly this is the only yuri manga I've ever read (so perhaps my opinion isn't worth much?), but I quite liked Gunjo.

I've read that one, actually! :D

I thought it was pretty interesting because it was extremely fucked up and waaaayyy different than most yuri manga

It's nice to meet another fan!

Dog Style by Motoni Modoru :D The title is pretty lame, but it does a good job of breaking away from the seme/uke stereotype, I find.

OP

I'll definitely check it out! Thank you (and I really like yaoi that messes with the seme/uke formula. Is this one of the elusive yaoi couples that actually switche?)

Nooot quite, but pretty close. I've actually yet to find one of those myself, haha.

Awesome! (I'm actually reading the third chapter right now and I quite like it! Their interactions are pretty cute/funny so far)

Maka-Maka (Yuri)

THIS!!!

I've read this one, and I agree that it's excellent! Awesome taste, anonny!

For porn: Anything by Zaria,
Other than that, for art+plot I like anything by Ike Reibun, Mizukami Shin (Her art is amazing but might need some getting used to), Yuki Shimizu and Yoneda Kou. Sakuraga Mei's art is great too, plot is usual but enjoyable anyways.

Sorry I don't have any specific manga names for you :\

Thank you so much! I'll be looking them up posthaste :D

Totally Captivated by Hajin Yoo. My first and favourite yaoi manga.

Hands Off doesn't technically count as yaoi, but yeah I ship Kotaru/Tatsuki seemed pretty endgame to me

Thank you~

I googled both and they seem interesting!

Earthian by Yun Kouga is a little confusing, but very beautiful. I'm also really fond of Sumomo Yumeka's BL work (she also drew the manga adaption of two Makoto Shinkai movies, but I haven't read them). I recently read a one-volume book called "Constellations in my Palm" that I really enjoyed as well. None of these are explicit, IIRC, but the stories have a lovely mood about them and gorgeous artwork.

I'm also seconding the recommendation for Maka Maka above. Normally I dislike a lot of yuri since it was clearly written with guys in mind and feels too unrealistic for me, but I thought this was was both very relatable and really sexy.

I've heard good things about Earthian but I had forgotten about it until you mentioned it, so I'll definitely look it up along with your other recs! Thank you!

For yuri:

I really like Ken Kurogane's work, it's extremely pretty :3

Morinaga Milk is also pretty awesome (Girl Friends is incredibly long, though, and kind of a cliche students-falling-in-love, thing >>).

Hiyori Otsu has some pretty cute stories...

And uh, I really like Pure Water Adolescence for some reason. >>

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you! And I'm totally down with cliche students who fall in love

Not really anon since I'm linking to my own LJ, but I have a (out-of-date) yuri rec list here (http://mizuno-youko.livejournal.com/68245.html).

For BL, I would recommend the Tomoi series, Kiss Scandal, Rin, 50x50, New York New York, and The Paradise on the Hill.

Thanks you so much! You're awesome~
