my thoughts exactly. it's hard finding something that is not overly fluffy or dramatic or just plain hentai. and even if you can find the right balance between these, most stories just feel pretty shallow imo. or simply boring. or the art isn't satisfying. plus a lot if not most titles are for guys with a lesbian fetish, which makes it even harder to empathize with. I'm yet to find a good yuri, one day...
I find it so hard to get into yuri -- the romantic and emotional appeals for me just aren't there like they are in yaoi, although I do like how Tamen de Gushi is going.
Dumb cliches are the best cliches. They're cliches because they work.
