The vast majority of yuri is aimed at males. The only female oriented yuri I've read is Mars no Kiss.

[(Anonymous)]

Alright, I must have been reading a very limited selection, then. Most of the yuri/girls' love I've read has been shoujo/josei so that has skewed my views. Pardon me.

[(Anonymous)]

Really? I'm gonna have to ask for recs, because that's right up my alley. I'm tired of moe tropes in male oriented yuri.

[(Anonymous)]

Sure thing! First things to come to mind:
Kiriko Nananan: Blue & Water
Takako Shimura: Aoi hana (I also really like her Wandering Son which handles transgender topics, though I guess it's technically seinen)
Yamaji Ebine: Indigo Blue & Sweet Lovin' Baby & Free Soul
Takeuchi Sachiko: Honey & Honey (autobiographical)
Hiyori Otsu: Clover & Mizuiro Cinema
Nanae Haruno: Pietà & Double House (also transgender themes)
Minami Q-ta: Not All Chicks Are Retards & several short stories

Those are some of my favourites. :) Most of them can be found on lililicious.

[(Anonymous)]

I've actually read several of those! I guess I'd forgotten. Thank you, I'll check the others out.

AoiHana is seinen, serialized in MangaEroticsF.

[(Anonymous)]

Alright, sorry about that. I saw it being described as just Romance/Drama/Slice-of-life/Shoujo-ai so I wasn't quite sure. I'd nevertheless rec it for someone tired of the most blatant tropes of male-oriented yuri, since, even though it features some very common character types, I think the relationships and the characters are quite bittersweetly touching, deep and realistic. (At least from my personal experience as a queer woman.)

(same anon)

Actually, I looked this up, and it would appear that yuri has originated as shoujo/josei and nowadays has also crossed over to shounen/seinen. So it would appear that it's not firmly either, as a genre. Separate works of course fall under specific categories.

Mars no Kiss! <3

What are you talking about? The readership of Yuri-Hime (the magazine) is 85% female.

[(Anonymous)]

It might be so, but it's not the only yuri magazine, is it? Whether you (and I) like it or not, most yuri is categorized as seinen.

[(Anonymous)]

There are only 2 yuri-focused magazines:

YuriHime (jousei)
Tsubomi (seinen)

And I don't think the balance is actually tipped towards either of them. There isn't that much yuri manga, anyway.
