Yuri manga by women about women (who aren’t in high school)

yilduza:

Sadly a lot of them are one shots, but there’s a few longer ones. A lot of yuri manga is tragically too short and I’m always left wanting more. D: 

After some struggles with myself, I ended up putting stories about college aged women so long as it’s not “innocent school life” heavy. 

Yamaji Ebine

  • Love my Life (this one has a movie. A uni student coming out to her father and finding that her parents were both queer as well.)
  • Indigo Blue (A novelist caught between feelings for her boyfriend but also her feelings for another woman.)
  • Free Soul (22 year old aspiring manga artist writing a manga about a black jazz singer. Artist falls for a trumpeter of a jazz band.)
  • Sweet Lovin Baby (A young woman befriends a lesbian couple and falls for them. With three other short stories.)  

Morishima Akiko

  • Conditions for Paradise– An OL in love with a world hopping freelance journalist
  • We’re Aiming for Love Now (Journalist and a cutie in a cosplay store)
  • Happy Picture Diary – (REALLY FUNNY. An social worker and an editor’s daily life together. All chibi but with some really real lesbian life jokes)
  • Off-Time (an aging lesbian short one shot)
  • 20-Year-Old Girl x 30-Year-Old Maiden– (one shot, a 30 year old sensitive about her age with a 20 year old woman in her art class)
  • Princess of the Stars– (short- almost didn’t make it b/c high school flashbacks but it’s college roomies and it’s short and sweet- and challenges that “girls experiment with girls in high school then grow out of it” thing that people in Japan sometimes think)

Other Artists: 

  • Ohana Holoholo: Torino Shino (Saya lives with her bisexual former girlfriend and her son. Nico, an actor living up stairs and a close friend, drops by for a visit almost everyday.  Somewhat like family, and somewhat not, a story about their lives)
  • My Unique Day-Sakamoto Mano (women in an acting troupe together. one shot)
  • Abracadabra– Tanaka Minoru (a magician and a cute girl dealing with confessing to a girl for the first time)
  • Lonely Wolf, Lonely Sheep– Mizutani Fuka (two women with the same name meet. Warnings for self harm)
  • Cirque Arachne: Saida Nika (Two women working in the circus in a trapeze act. Stellar cute.)   
  • Maple Love– Otsu Hiyori (meeting in college; really cute)

Two that I recommend but are set apart from the others because one is written by a man and one is written with the male audience in mind respectively

This is by no means an exhaustive list and I know there’s more (one particularly that I wanted to put on here but couldn’t remember the title of) so feel free to add on your favorite adult queer lady manga to the list!

Rica Takashima – Rica ‘tte Kanji?! is a short graphic novel about Takashima’s university years in Tokyo in the local LGBTQ scene and dating her girlfriend.

Takeuchi Sachiko – Honey & Honey is a cute slice of life autobiographical novel about the author’s relationship with her girlfriend.  She throws in explanations of Japan’s LGBTQ culture as well.

Actual Life-hack

madtomedgar:

boxer-briefs are the literal best underwear for being on your period. It’s like they were designed with pads in mind. I’d had boxer-briefs kicking around in my underwear stock for a while and just… thought I couldn’t wear them with pads because idk they’re boxer-briefs?? BUT! 

they stay in place perfectly, because the underwear is cut not to move around, and it keeps the pad in place

If you don’t wax/shave, it keeps the adhesive from catching on you hair and making you wish you’d never been born

The pad doesn’t get twisted and in the wrong place and stick to itself because it can’t move around because these underwear are amazing

IF somehow you wind up bleeding to the side of the pad (because that happens lbr), because the boxer-briefs extend a little down your leg, you don’t bleed on your pants!

I love that thing in movies where a girl is cooking breakfast wearing her boyfriend’s shirt! It’s so cute that I visualize it sometimes. Except like, from a camera angle, not from 1st person. And the girl doesn’t really look like me. I guess it’s cause I’ll look different when I’m older! And apparently I’ll also dye my hair, straighten it, and get a tan! Yep, I really wanna cook some romantic hetero eggs for my future straight boyfriend someday ❤

does it count as self harm if you’re cutting with a razor but u are just cutting warts off ur fingers cause ur so damn tired of them and also u fear Death and need something painful to ground you and make you feel like ur in control again

relationship goals/progress check list type thing

I’ve never had a relationship but I think it’d be interesting to see where I see one going, so I’m gonna map this out for future reference and possibly to look back at and laugh after I really do have a relationship and it all goes differently.

– eye contact
– hand holding
– slight cuddling
– first kiss, just a peck
– more kissing
– making out probably
– sleeping together (just sleeping while cuddling tho, figuring out who is the big spoon and who is the little spoon, no shenanigans yet)
– probably more intense making out, French kissing + hickies
– hands roaming, over clothes
– dry humping, over clothes
– hands roaming, under clothes
– fingering and other handsy stuff
– actual Sex (mouths, tongues, potentially toys or whatever else is going on.)

also, not really specifically steps in there, but things that would be fun
– dumb cute dates
– skinny dipping
– maybe trying weed
– sharing clothes and stealing lipstick 😉 (indirect kisses, mhm)
– shower sex
– stargazing
– movie night (drive in or eventual Netflix and chill?)
– probably ugly crying on each other at some point, for emotional support
– Fancy dates with makeup and fancy clothes and high heels
– sex afterward with aforementioned high heels on
– adventures just driving around in car
– holding hands while driving in car
– making playlists to play in the car
– assorted car shenanigans actually, if we have a car why not take advantage of it?
– picking “our song”
– sharing food, getting takeout, etc.
– giving little gifts, seeing something in the store that makes you think of them and getting it for them
– being disgustingly cute and coupley in public (sitting on each other’s laps, stealing kisses, sharing clothes etc. in a more obvious way)
– being in Love
