    instantly clicked when i saw that title, The Moon on a Rainy Night is SO GOOD. i also recommend to people The Guy She was Interested in Wasn't a Guy At All, I Favor the Villainness, and School Zone. There's also A Monster Wants to Eat Me, just note if you read it there's unaliving ideation from a main character, it's really good though.

    Of all the series youve mentioned, LOVE LOVE LOVE 'She Loves to Cook, She Loves to Eat' and also 'How do we relationship. I was borrowing both series from the library and I've committed to collecting Cook/Eat and just need to remember to start collecting 'Relationship soon. I haven't read The moon on a rainy night, nor 'My girlfriend's not here today' but I need to pick those up, I'm hoping my library has them in stock!

      I read the first few chapters of Cook/Eat a few days ago and absolutely fell in love. So wholesome and cute and I love that there's a bit of diversity and defying ideas about how a woman "should" act and "should" be.

    I loved the video! Thank you for making it! I'm kind of obsessed with "I'm In Love With the Villainess," and my favorite version of it is the manga, so I recommend that. I've also watched and am reading Adachi and Shimamura, and I personally recommend the novels, I guess? Though maybe try the anime?
    More info: The anime's art style isn't for me, and while the art in the manga is nice, it cuts most of the story, so the novels win by elimination. The anime may be good, though, so give it a shot, I guess. The story moves pretty slowly, and it's more of an exploration of the characters and their relationship. Both of them have some realistic yet major flaws, and the novel goes more in depth on those. The story (so far, I've watched the anime and read volume 1 of the novels) has consisted of Adachi trying to gather her courage and, one step at a time, communicate her feelings to Shimamura. However, we also see from Shimamura's perspective that she (seemingly) doesn't have those feelings (yet) and is wondering what is going on with Adachi's behavior. So, in a nutshell, it's Adachi trying to get closer to Shimamura, while Shimamura struggles to connect with people in the first place. Adachi is cute but quite possessive, as she's lonely and lacks human connection, and Shimamura struggles to connect with people and be herself around them.

    Love your recommendations and breakdowns of the content warnings. I took a very long break from manga but loved reading yuri, so I'm excited to see what's going on now (besides the green yuri trending all over twitter lol).
    If you're open to reading J-novels, I highly recommend I'm in Love with the Villainess (isekai, magical school setting, political themes) and Otherside Picnic (horror, urban fantasy). Those two also have anime and manga adaptations but the novels are much farther ahead, and I find they're a nice break from the usual highschool settings in yuri manga as well.

    Just wanted to say thank you for mentioning My Girlfriend's Not Here Today. First channel i have seen it appear. I am very varied with my manga tastes, but do find myself majority reading shojou/josei titles as I just appreciate the themes.
    This is my actual first Yuri title after someone made a really good pitch to me so I definitely am interested in checking out your other recs (I have also had the impression that this is definitely not representative) I also would like to check out BL as well now as I now feel I am missing out on great storytelling!
    Personally I was very reluctant to pick it up, but decided to and so far it's my favourite this year. The artwork is fantastic and I really feel Kiyoko Iwame is a brilliant storyteller with both her panel construction and dialogue. I think of this as primarily a drama where she is unafraid to use toxic desire, insecurities etc. In terms of the spicyness, I give it a pass because I interpret it as putting us in the mind of the characters who are young/naive and confuse lust with love. Just finished volume 2 and still enjoying it. It's definitely not for everyone and I believe it requires maturity from the reader. I enjoy the themes of jealousy, lust, insecurity and also the toxic effect of social media especially for young people. I do work in real life youth offending and I can say that i actually find this quite realistic in certain respects regarding physchology and escalation factor regarding offending.
    Really hope the author doesn't mess it up.

    • @lyddiemoon
      @lyddiemoon  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yesss it’s so messy but you can’t help but want to know what happens and what the characters will do next. I’ve caught up online and it just gets really good and even more crazy and toxic haha. I hope more people pick it up and try it because it was also one of my most enjoyable series this year!

    @kazmori6981 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I really love My GF isn't Here Today. I like reading romance & drama series because I like examining human behavior and emotions and relationships, and I can sometimes get tired of reading a lot of gl in a row where the characters are all largely well-meaning and mature. There are people like that in the world, too, but I like variety, and I like series that extend empathy even to messier characters who make mistakes and hurt other people (especially female characters, when it feels like they tend to be under much heavier scrutiny and criticism from the audience for the slightest flaws), and I have known many teenagers like Yuni--easily hurt, starved for affection and attention and validation, bad at communicating their needs, and prone to painting others as the bad guy to defend themselves from their own self-loathing--or like Natsume, whose natural instinct is to ignore problems until they go away. It's obviously not a role model for how anyone should conduct themselves in relationships, but the feelings and the methods people employ in response to them are very real, and it could be considered a good model for what not to do lol
    Thanks for the rec list. I probably wouldn't have checked out Yuri is My Job! if not for your pitch for it here. Looking forward to all of them.
    I'd like to recommend the mangaka Sal Jiang. Ayaka is in Love with Hiroko! is probably her most accessible/easy to recommend work, it's very cute, but also gets into some of the cultural realities of being queer in Japan as well as the shifting of cultural attitudes over time. Black&White is my favorite but definitely more niche (it starts out with a lot of fight sex lol), but the storyline got much deeper than I originally expected and the end was so powerful. A really thought-provoking series. Sal Jiang's characters have really vivid personalities, and her art is beautiful, too. She's started a new series called Wicked Spot which is already great so far as well.

    • @lyddiemoon
      @lyddiemoon  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for your recommendations! I also really like my gf isn't here today because it definitely goes into more of a taboo territory which we don't see much licenses of especially in GL so its nice to have that range of genres and stories

  • @goyavoyage
    @goyavoyage 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Aaah, these are SUCH good recommendations!! I have yet to read half of them, but I have heard *so many* good things about She Loves to Cook... and Yuri is My Job and I'm so eager to start them. And I've seen My GF's Not Here Today around, I will be moving it higher on my to-read pile.
    But How Do We Relationship?! The Summer You Were There?! The Moon on a Rainy Night?! All of them are clearly among my favorite yuri, and whew, what a combo seeing them featured here.
    Long part, but! I'm enthusiastic! And I would like to share four others among my favorites:
    Even Though We're Adults, by Takako Shimura (10 volumes and ended, 7 or 8 released in English so far).
    This one has something about messy realistic adults all doing their best in a complicated situation that really amazes me. It takes an existing trope of two women falling in love while one of them is married, but treats this with an amount of care and nuance higher than any other occurrence of this scenario I've seen play out. Its atmosphere has an extremely soft something, that may be familiar if you've ever read Shimura's works (Wandering Son, Sweet Blue Flowers). I have yet to read ETWA's latest few published volumes but I think it's in my top yuri trio with HDWR and Otherside Picnic (see below).
    Run Away with Me, Girl, by battan (3 volumes, ended).
    Takes the same base scenario as ETWA, and instead makes something... well, more straightforward and expected with it, but uses it to shed a harsh light on compulsory heterosexuality, abusive relationships (CW for verbal and physical abuse), and how to escape from it. It's effective and beautiful and hopeful, and the art has something stunning and unique about it. Be careful about the CW though.
    Doughnuts Under a Crescent Moon, by Shio Usui (4 volumes, ended).
    Office Lady yuri that slowly deconstructs a lot of elements about normative pressure, notably to femeninity or relationships. One of the two leads could be argued to be neurodivergent and on the aromantic spectrum, and both of them are ace. Also features characters that address straightforwardly the underlying tension of things when they come up (featuring a love rival who is very straightforward and chill about it, and a very perceptive little sister), which is always refreshing.
    Otherside Picnic, Iori Miyazawa (8 novel volumes, ongoing).
    Granted, there is an anime adaptation, and it's not... bad, but it's not great. And also there are mangas that, as another commenter pointed out, are sloooowly reaching volume 4 of the novels.
    I would recommend reading the novels, the source material. The protagonist is an absolutely fascinating and layered character, a neurodivergent ghost stories nerd with canonical PTSD, and this medium is how you experience her best, with her inner monologues.
    Be warned that Otherside Picnic is genre fiction as much as it is yuri, in the form of eldritch horrors beyond understanding (something between, say, lovecraftian things and SCP Foundation). There's also gun use, and a decent amount of CW. It won't be a read for everyone.
    But there's just... so much in the novels that is incredible. That feels truly unseen in yuri. You have to give it time, though, and imo read at least two volumes (they're not that long, they're already published two by two in Omnibus editions, which means reading the first omnibus). It's a fun (if a bit horrific) ride before that, but I'd say the really good stuff truly starts with the end of the second volume (File 8, Little Bird in a Box, that the anime didn't adapt and it's a crime); but then it never stops after that. It feels like it's yuri tropes at first, but it's incredible how it's actually truly queer characters, baked in from the start, whose queerness unfolds slowly, as the protagonist herself grows. It also has lots of elements about healing from abuse and trauma that ring extremely true. Volume 4 is a particular stellar story high; and then the latest volumes released, the 7th and 8th, are masterful beyond words. I recently read volume 8 and it has a level of emphasis on communication and nuanced views on relationships that I haven't read elsewhere in sapphic fiction in general.
    Anyway, whoops, I got carried away! Thank you for these recommendations~

      Even Though We're Adults i started reading and collecting recently andreally enjoying it! It definitely went in a direction i didnt expect like being so honest with her husband!! I also have read Run Away with Me, Girl and really enjoyed it and talked about it in a previous recent reads video, it was so heartbreaking but hopeful series.
      I also read Doughnuts Under a Crescent Moon whilst it was releasing so i have still to finish it but will try and get to it soon but enjoyed the first two volumes i read! In terms of otherside picnic i tried the manga and couldnt really get into it, im not a super horror fan but ive been meaning to try the lightnovels so thank you for reminding me! Loved all these recommendations ❤️❤️

    It's not a manga, but I think every GL-content enjoyer would do themselves a favour if they read "Sunstone". As from the entries on this list, "How do we relationship?" is pretty refreshing, as it breaks the mold and shows the relationship, rather than the usual "getting to know each other" beginning and "happily ever after" ending. And I'll definitely check out "The moon on a rainy night", even though I already have a lot on my reading plate.
