Have you done Yuri Is My Job! and Asumi-chan is Interested in Lesbian Brothels cuz if not get on 'em
i've read all three! "Hello Melancholic" does the thing that always bugs me a little bit where it ends like immediately after they get together BUT i enjoyed it.
also liking "yuri is my job," and genuinely in awe at how good asumi-chan is
Have you already read Asumi-chan is Interested in Lesbian Brothels?
My taste tends to run a little more to the "tragic 70s shojo" than most people but if you're into that then Dear Brother is great. The concept is, like. What if the only force that could stop the all-powerful high femme student council is the school's population of wandering soft butches, and also the normal girl main character falls in love with one of said butches
i have in fact read asumi-chan, and i am of the opinion that it's Really Fucking Good
also great sell on Dear Brother, gonna check that out
“Ebisu-san and Hotei-san“ is still one of my favorites, and very short and compact compared to most series. The followup story in the volume extras is extra-adorable.
“Pink Ribbon” is absurdly adorable from start to finish. The creator is Taiwanese, I think? But it’s 100% yuri by weight.
“The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy At All“ is a bit stereotypical, but is excruciatingly well-drawn.
I can concur that “Do You Want To Go Out Or What” aka “How Do We Relationship” is very, very good but will make you want to strangle everybody involved. The fan translations on Dynasty and Mangadex have stopped because there’s a licensed release. “Qualia the Purple” is good but IMO it’s more about metaphysics than about relationships? YMMV. And “Run Away With Me Girl” is excellent but also a heartbreaker.
i've read a little bit of "the guy she was interested in" and completely agree on the art, it's also deeply funny having the premise revolve around a high school girl with the music taste of an elder millennial (not that there's anything wrong with that).
i'll check the other two out!
I feel like the musical taste of the main characters is meant to be a multi-level joke about high schoolers who believe that their interests are always super unique, but I’m not 100% sure about that.
i know you’ve already read mage and demon queen but (turns to everyone else) i’m hijacking my partners post briefly to plant the “read mage and demon queen” flag down. fuckin read mage and demon queen
Furthermore, you should subscribe to the creator's Patreon and get the NSFW material. There's both cute cuddling, and extremely explicit depictions of Malori's epic honeymoon death.
It looks like you're reading a lot of the popular manga yuri around the internet, judging from the comments. So how about https://www.webtoons.com/en/romance/night-owls-and-summer-skies/list?title_no=4747 and https://www.webtoons.com/en/supernatural/nevermore/list?title_no=2740?
Though I'll name some of my favorites anyway. https://dynasty-scans.com/series/anemone_is_in_heat. https://dynasty-scans.com/series/even_if_it_was_just_once_i_regret_it. And https://dynasty-scans.com/series/lily_love and its sequel series are also so good!
a lot of my faves were already mentioned (especially +1 for qualia the purple) but if you haven't read octave you gotta. slow-moving trainwreck of two hurting people who aren't quite right for each other figuring out if they can get past that. very Adult in a psychological sense, also in a sexy sense
a love letter for the marching puppy has an implicitly pretty dark take on class s senpai/kouhai dynamics in its alt history military setting, with a great pair at the center of it. fantastic melodrama
the moon on a rainy night has a great flawed protagonist and the way it twins the classic symbolism of hands in f/f romance media with sign language is extremely smart and effective/affective
not entirely sure if these are yuri but they're at least adjacent and i like them a lot: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yokohama_Kaidashi_Kik%C5%8D and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossplay_Love:_Otaku_x_Punk
I adore both Girl Friends and A Kiss and White Lily for My Dearest Girl. I also plan on re-reading A Tropical Fish Yearns For Snow soon, just to see if it's as good as I remember.
I had a post on exactly this (https://cohost.org/hecker/post/902492-a-few-more-yuri-mang) but thought I'd also add a couple of webtoon recommendations not already mentioned (sites are for licensed English translations): Blooming Sequence (Lezhin) (university students in a film club) and Her Tale of Shim Chong (Pocket Comics) (historical setting, loosely based on a Korean folk tale, very grim until almost the very end).
My apologies, I forgot to add: my post was in response to a post by @jtth (https://cohost.org/jtth/post/901076-a-few-yuri-manga-rec) that hasn't been linked here yet. I especially recommend her Takako Shimura selections, Even Thought We're Adults (adult yuri) and Aoi Hana / Sweet Blue Flowers (I literally wrote a book on this).
A few that I haven't seen recommended:
- Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl, I really just like this one, it's just kinda sweet
- Crescent Moon and Doughnuts, this one really resonates with me as an ace-spec person
- How Do I Get Together With My Childhood Friend? and A Yuri Manga That Starts With Getting Rejected in a Dream are both based on the same premise, are both ongoing, and I can never remember which is which. But that doesn't really matter because I love both of them.
- Trying Out Marriage With My Female Friend is one of my favourites at the moment. It's still ongoing but I really like the characters and how their feelings come across.
Catch these Hands! (aka Accept my Fist of Love) is about a butch delinquent (who I read as having relatable-to-me brainstuff around romance and relationships) and the girl who she fought in high school who asks her out in like, the first few chapters? Most of the series is about them navigating a relationship and expectations.

The other one I'll mention is 2DK, G.Pen, Alarm Clock, about an aspiring manga artist and an office worker and oh my god they're roommates, the translation just recently finished. It's by the same author as Hello Melancholic.
