Sublime is all I can say. The art is absolutely magnificent. No way else to put it. The novel this is based on is so sweet, my teeth are swimming and seeing the novel come to life like this, beautiful. I had to go back an reread the novel to truly appreciate this adaptation. Bravo.
Sweet, short, and to the point. Just how I like it. Good old smut, maids, and spanking. What's not to love?
It's toxic, beautiful, and already tense. I'm loving where this is going. If the initial teaser is anything to go by, I smell yandere and BDSM in the future perhaps. And I'm all for it.
Art, oh damn. Story, hot damn. Sex, GYAT DAMN! Everything in this is fantastic. Sure, the story is slightly predictable but holy hell, the sex scenes in this? Absolutely phenomenal. I honestly would keep reading just for the sex. I'm filthy but fuck it, this is some delicious god damn lesbian food.
WARNING: Has cheating? Kind of I guess. And it's a bit messed up in the psychological sense. Also some ab*se and suggestive s**ual assault.
I love the art and the story is definitely not your run of the mill 'cute girl meets new girl and she has a dangerous ex bent on revenge' plot of most I've read. It's refreshing and different. I like that and I'm definitely going to follow this one. It's already pretty spicy.
Stunning is all I can say, both in art style and characterization. The story is quite mysterious and the sex, while implied, is still visually fantastic. And Aria, whew! She can strap me down anytime. The chemistry between A Qing and Aria is palpable and super sweet. I just hope Aria isn't playing with her feelings, considering the plot and how sneaky she appears to be. I wonder what her ulterior motives are. But I'm definitely keeping an eye on this one.
Quick and dirty. Just like I like it. Not just a story without a plot, but it's got some punch behind the fucking. Love the art as I'm a fan of Love Thy Neighbor. So I knew I would like this right away. Beautiful art, hot sex, and funny bits all make this a fantastic one-shot.
Love me some historical GL! Also love their dynamic already. The art style is awesome and I feel like things will only get better. It has comedy, romance, action, and hot anthroelf action. What more could you ask for!
Sweet story and damn good art. These anthologies are fantastic and get straight to the sexual point. My kinda oneshot!
Brilliant. Their toxic dynamic is symbiotic and so excellently portrayed. The art is fantastic and the sex is sublime.

Hi! I just finished "Love thy Neighbor" and "How to survive the rainy season". Now my heart is so empty cuz i cant find anything similar ;-; can you recommend me a yuri like these 2? EXTRA: i also LOVED "Best served cold" so i guess i have a thing for neighbors/milfs.
Do you have a top 5 yuri? Like all time favorites?
Hmmmm, if I had to narrow it down, my top 5 of all time would be:
1. Love Thy Neighbor
2. Sadistic Beauty Side Story
3. Long Awaited Feelings
4. Marie and Alex
5. Trash Flower
Like I go back and re-read these from time to time. :3
Haha omg yesss I love Marie and Alex too! Same with the sadistic beauty side story. And I just started trash flower. Why have I heard mixed reviews on Love Thy Neighbor bro the story looks amazing? Is there a reason you can think of?
Cuz yeah for whatever reason I see some people completely love it or others are rating super low, at least on MAL, from what I’ve seen.
A lot of people dislike it because it presses on every sensitive button at once: age gap, power imbalance, sexual assault, cheating, even the “gay for pay” and religious angle. That cocktail's going to set off alarms for some, especially in GL space where people are often looking for softness, safety, and affirming dynamics.
When a sapphic story leans into moral grayness instead of comfort, it gets scrutinized harder. Add in the visual coding; one character looking older, less "kawaii", thin enough that you can see her ribs, and suddenly it doesn’t fit the cute, symmetrical yuri template people are used to. For some, that feels uncomfortable. For me, that contrast is part of what makes LtN compelling, intense, and my number one.
I think the big divide comes down to whether people see it as glorifying toxicity or exploring complicated human behavior. Depiction isn’t endorsement. Stories about flawed, messy, even ethically questionable relationships can still be powerful if they’re interrogating those dynamics instead of pretending they’re perfect.
Not every GL has to be soft and healing; some are sharp and reckless and uncomfortable on purpose. That doesn’t make them bad; it makes them provocative. And provocative art and stories will always split a room. That's my 2 cents.(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
By any chance is this list ranked by likeness
The order isn’t a permanent ranking. It shifts depending on what I’m reading at the time and how I’m feeling about each one if I've added them on here.
dude this list is so good. finally some good food..!! ( ̄∇ ̄")
Haha thank you! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Which one here has BDSM?
Sadistic Beauty: Side Story, Marie and Alex (slight BDSM, mostly spanking/crying fetish), Lilith and Lilith 2 (centered around BDSM), White Angels Have No Rest (psychological at most, master/slave type relationship). These are the few that have prominent BDSM components in them.(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Thank youu
Talk dirty to me has bdsm
Ara have you read Yagate kimi ni naru yet??
That manga was damn good, also the anime(ᗒᗩᗕ)
I have not, but I've always heard good things about it! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Thank you so much! ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
You're welcome!(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Omg we have the same tastes, i also love to read quality yuri and most of your recommendations suit to my liking. When i clicked your list i thought it wasn't gonna be good but damn this are really good yuris. Thank you so much ♡♡♡ and sorry if this message is long ●□●
You're so welcome! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ I'm glad you enjoy the list! It grows when I find something new I like ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
If you don’t mind me asking; As you are someone who’s read a lot of Yuri, I was wondering if there’s a cute/smut Yuri that don’t have a third wheel ( I just really want that genuine development/love story ) (=・ω・=)
I sure do! Do you want cute low-key, or heartwarming melodrama? If the latter go check out Morinaga Milk, Ohimesama no himitsu and (preferably) Girl Friends.
Cute low-key, I like Mochi au Lait, who (if you don’t mind that s/he also does sis-sis romances) also does low-key fluffy one shots. Or try More Than Friends? which is not about sisters (guess what they become).
Shinozaki-San ki wo Ota Shika ni! is also cute and fluffy if baity (thus far—scanlators stopped with like one volume left to go, c’mon somebody)
Everybody loves Yagate Kimi ni Naru aka Bloom Into You aka Someday I Will Become Yours which is ongoing and has some drams but well the title is promising...
For some OL yuri tease-plus, Ebisu-san to Hotei-san. There's also A Room for Two, Swap Swap, Futaribeya as well. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Oh wow! Thank you very much! I’ll check all of these out! I just needed a push in the right direction. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
