Her Pet

Complete | pito | 2015 released

Very cute story. I liked the concept of where the story was headed, but it's still a little difficult to grasp. I understand the whole "pet" situation, but I didn't feel like this would ever happen, even in a manhwa. The build up between Soha and Gayoon could have been so much better to where it could have lead up to the pet/master relationship after they got closer, but ideally, I don't see that relationship just happening over the simple fact that Gayoon favored her dog. Personally, that would have made the story better in my honest opinion. Regardless, I loved Gayoon's and Soha's characters, they fit hand in hand with one another. One relationship I'm still sort of on the fence about is Sol's and Soo's. Felt a little forced for the sake of love. I'm a little disappointed with Yurim's character, I might be the only one with this option, but I did like her as a character. I'm so glad we got to look at most of the side characters background and see who they were before all of this, and Yurim's character just hit harder to me than anyone's. She was always in the spotlight, always praised, always placed on this pedestal where everyone put her to the point where she started truly thinking she was special- until she wasn't. And when she fell down, she fell down hard. Lost almost all her friends, got suspended, got picked on, rumors spread about her, and she really did try to be the bigger person in the beginning. Does this justify her bullying Gayoon? Absolutely not, but her character didn't get half the justice everyone else got when it came to redemption. For that, I had to give 4 stars. She's been through a lot and hurt people hurt people, I hate that her story closed without her being redeemed when she clearly deserved it, but I can at least get satisfaction in knowing she tried her best with the fight between her and Soha and she accepted her defeat. She at least got closure on that. Overall, this is a very good, albeit, weird story of overcoming troubles, learning to move on, and accepting love. The characters were written incredibly well and the chapters are pretty much all entertaining in terms of drama or action. Definitely worth the read.

Tami and the Yukionna

Ongoing | Nagori yu | 2019 released

Not much to really say about this one. It's cute, but the plot is all over the place. Or lack of plot? I don't know, not all stories need a plot, but for this to have so many chapters, it read like an anthology than a book. I'm never sure what's going on. Be that as it may, the characters are really cute and it's a pretty simple read.

Watashi no Shumi tte Hen Desu ka?

Complete | Comaku | 2019 released

It's hilariously entertaining, that's as nice as I can put it lol. Very... erm... incommensurable story, just not the type of story style I enjoy. Despite the length of it, it felt like something made for the fantasy of men than it did yuri. I don't know, I can't really articulate well how reading this made me feel. Uncomfortable? Awkward? It was just so outlandish, like something out of a 90's porno or something, I can't really express it any other way. Not the type of yuri I like to read, but the characters were cute and the artwork is really nice. A lot of people seemed to enjoy reading this, but the only reason I managed to read through it all is simple because it only had 8 chapters. Don't think I could have tolerated it if it was longer. I liked this authors other story, I just couldn't really get behind this one.

Cheerful Amnesia

Ongoing | Oku Tamamushi | 2000 released

Too cute for words! This is the kind of yuri I eat up! Everything was done so perfectly! From the story to the art, down to the characters and their traits, this was definitely a 10 out of 10 for me! I try to leave at least one honest critique for every thing I read, but for the life of me, I can't think of a single thing that I think could have been done better with this manga. I may be hyping this up more than I should, but it's been such a long time since I've read such a wholesome, sweet, and funny yuri with such great characters, especially one that can be this popular and not have to rely on sex scenes or fan service. Great work, great writing, fantastic read, this will be one that'll be on my reread list for sure.

Her ShimCheong

Complete | Seri, Bi-wan | 2000 released

I had forgotten all about this yuri, and very sad I did for a moment, but was delighted at the prospect of enjoying it again from the beginning. Absolutely phenomenal story with such depth in characters, easily a 5 star read! Great story that tackles sexism, classism, and women empowerment. How the romance was implemented was just breathtaking, to say the least. Cheong and Madam's relationship from the beginning to the end was such a Rollercoaster of emotions that was so beautifully written and worked out, I wouldn't be surprised if this yuri was in the top 10 yuris when it comes romance. We get such in depth perspectives of both these characters, not only from their childhoods, but with their relationship as well. I can't say I saw the twist near the end coming, but regardless if I did or didn't, this manhua didn't disappoint when it came to putting me on the edge of my seat nearly every chapter. It was so hard to not hit next chapter that I found myself finishing all 85 chapters in a matter of 5 days. Not only was the story for the protagonists perfectly wrapped up with no loose ends, the author also managed to give all the supporting characters the closure they deserved. I'm very happy I came across this yuri again, it simply is an amazing piece of work.

Barrel

Ongoing | | 2022 released

Hmm... I'm a little indifferent when it came to this. The main reason I like yuri (opposed to yaoi) is because it doesn't involve a lot of that ræpe genre bullcrap in order to make the characters fit each other, which, I guess this one didn't really have ræpe? Maybe? I'm not entirely sure to be honest lol. If it was consensual, then I can see myself giving this a better rating. But outside the "romance", this felt to quick to be just 6 chapters. I could be wrong though, but the last chapter did say 'The End' so who knows. This had the potential to be really good had it continued, like, I can see these two characters both escaping their shitty life in order to find happiness with each other while trying to lay low. I'm just not vibing with the ending. Seems... incomplete. But, like I mentioned I'm not sure if this is the end, so I guess we'll just have to wait in see. With more chapters explaining the characters, what's going on, and maybe a slightly better translation, I may just go back and give this one a higher rating. All-in-all, definitely wasn't a horrible read, just too many questions and not enough answers for me.

The Name of my Feelings

Complete | Kang unnie | 2022 released

A well written yuri about a younger sister who is secretly in love with her older sister. While I can't say the premise of the story was anything original, it definitely was an entertaining read. I was a bit disappointed with how the ending played out though because I never really bought that sleeping cliché where they think they're still dreaming so they do whatever they want to the S/O. Sorry, regardless of how tired someone is, that's just not believable and makes for lazy writing, I believe. Still though, I had to give it 5 stars, maybe out of favoritism, because I really love this author and all of their works and despite the clichés, this still was a great read and a wonderfully written oneshot. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for something quick and spicy to read.

White Lilies in Love BRIDE's Newlywed Yuri Anthology

Ongoing | Anthology | 2000 released

This was entirely too cute to handle, I typically don't leave comments on anthologies since it's an amalgamation of authors and stories, but this anthology in particular really did something too me. Not sure what it was, but I actually started crying reading the fox wedding story, hormones are a hell or a thing. But to get back on topic, all of the stories were beautiful and well worth the read. I'd love to own the physical copy of this just to have it in my collection because it's something I can definitely see myself going back to reread because of how sweet and cute it was.

Ring my Bell

Complete | Yeongol | 2000 released

Not gonna lie, I really slept on this manhwa. I remember reading 2 or 3 chapters years ago and couldn't make it any farther because I didn't think the story was that interesting but I'm glad I gave it another change (even if it was years late). It's not that I thought the story was boring or anything, just that there wasn't much excitement that made me want to keep reading, but as I kept clicking chapter after chapter, I noticed how wholesome their story was. Outside of the drama or conflict, this felt like a genuine, real, and relatable story about two women who really love one another. These characters felt real, which is something I don't say frequently when I'm reading webtoons. Although it does start off a little slow and irratic, watching the progression and passion of the two main characters easily made this series a top 10 for me. Definitely consider giving it a read if you like simple and sweet stories.

Magan&Danai

Ongoing | Ermuzibu | 2000 released

I like the concept of a short story like this and I love how funny the chapters were, however I didn't know it was the authors own personal life. If her life was anything like what was portrayed in the webcomic... then I feel incredibly sad for her lol. Comedy points aside, no one should have to endure being hit in a relationship repeatedly. I would have loved to see this webcomic become more popular because I do love the comedic portions and it's something I would have gladly paid money for if it were available in a bookstore. Not sure if the rumor about the author and her girlfriend breaking up is true or false, but I do hope she comes back to address this webcomic at least once more to give these two an ending.
