Is There Anybody out There? ... who solely likes yuri

MrForkfish July 12, 2017 10:31 pm

So if been scrolling through those questionts and have seen that there are mainly yaoi related. Every front page of the manga reading websites i've seen is plastered with this stuff. Do yuri fans still exist? Are they on the verge of extinction or why do I see so few from them?
P.S Would be cool to know what your favourite yuri manga of ALL time is, I think honto no kanojo was quite adorable

    Most people on this website are girls after all, and yaoi caters to girls mostly

    This is definitely a more yaoi-oriented site, but some of us read yuri, too, don't worry! I think part of it too is that (and please correct me if I'm wrong), but yaoi fans tend to be a lot more vocal/active on sites than yuri fans. At least, from what I've seen.

    Yay! haha

    I'll admit, I haven't read a whole lot of yuri (well, compared to yaoi) but I'm open to reading some more! My personal favorite right now is Citrus... which is prolly a cliche answer, but yeah o///o Yuzucchi is such a good protagonist <3

    well i didn't like it at first, and i dont like these bitchy kind of girls (and the ones who look like that) but yuzu is just too sympathetic! I've gotta admitt the manga sure is cute

    Yeah, and it's an interesting story so far (I'm on vol 3).
    Would you happen to have any other recommendations? The ones I tend to come across are a little more "mainstream" such as Kashimashi (if that counts?) I remember reading a couple Madoka Magica doujins before, and those were kinda cute too.

    I love yuri lol. Theres not many who actually read it. I even have a list for it if you want to check it out and read some.

    Well I guess Kashimashi would count, cuz he turned through some alien magic into a girl.

    I pretty much love Hana to Hoshi (It's funny and the charakters don't seem to be stereotypes) or one I noticed not so long ago: Partition (I think it has one of the best charakter dynamics i've ever seen, but the updates take always so long), Shitsuji Shoujo to Ojousama ( i just like adore tsundere), Hana to Hina wa Houkago (especially the beginnig was cute)
    if you don't already know: lily love, pulse, it would be great if you didn't exist, Girl Friends
    Maybe: Chouchou Nannan, Hoshikawa Ginza Yonchoume (this one could be offensive given the age of the girl, but still somehow adorable)

    those should be a couple of ones, which should at least be somewhat enjoyable (really look into Partition it's awesome)

    I read yaoi and yuri but I'm a lot pickier with yuri. I've been trying to read more lately.
    The ones I've read most recently and liked are Indigo Blue, Love My Life, Aoi Hana, Gunjou, Pulse and Maison de Maid

    I read both (⌒▽⌒)

    I used to read yaoi and yuri, but not anymore. Though I'll read shounen or shoujo ai if the plot is good. Or if it's yaoi or yuri I'll skim and skip over sex scenes. I've been reading Pulse lately. Very good manhwa. I find I'm more comfortable with the female anatomy than I am the male, anyway. Penises freak me out, lol.

    Lmao, some guys don't have dicks though. But yeah, I don't have one. I suppose that's fortunate in this situation, lol.

    While I do agree that BL fans tend to be more vocal and the community quite fanatical sometimes, I also get the feeling that the BL community is by and whole larger than the yuri community, too. I could be wrong, but if anyone has any tangible numbers or stats that could give us an idea about the sizes for both communities, I'd be interested in seeing them.

    There is a short that I remember reading a long while back; I think it's here on Mangago- I think it's called Plica? Or maybe that was the character's name. Anyway, I found that one really cute and interesting. Altho it wasn't just a yuri; it was also about living as a lesbian in Japan. The art, tho nothing spectacular, was super cute too.
