Finally a manga with an androgynous lead! Such a great manga with many layers that leaves the reader wanting more. Great! Edit: This has taken a turn I don't like at all. I understand introducing her ex just to create some conflict, but did the conflict have to be cheating? Maki deserves better. Finally found a manga with an androgynous lead and now so much of the story has been shifted away from her and to Liz's conflict. A conflict she created by cheating one a really amazing person. This is beyond confusing and Liz is no doubt the epitome of crazy if she thinks anything with her ex will change.

Story was ok but the art was very stiff looking. Best I can give it is a 2/5. Just wasn't as impressed as others had said I would be. Don't get the hype.

Eventually, I Will Become Yours

Complete | Nakatani Nio | 2000 released

Insanely excellent!! Oh, the feels!! A yuri manga I would recommend to all yuri readers and to any looking to get into the genre. Beautifully done and it has stolen my heart. This is a story with lots of love, including unrequited love, but also about finding oneself and becoming the person who is meant to be.

It's rare to find a yuri manga that tackles so many subjects in such a short amount of time. Nowadays, it tends to be coming out, coming of age, building a relationship or just showing how their life is and this manga managed to tackle all those subjects and then some. It was surprisingly uplifting, in a way, to see the main character changing so much in such a short amount of time. It takes many women a majority of their twenties to fully mature and know who they are, even with help and she manages to do so before even meeting her twenties. This is a story that leaves out all the cutsie things we have come to know and love from yuri and tackles the real matters at hand. How can I be a better person for myself but also for the person I love most. This shows another side to maturity and it dazzles the reader with all the love, care and life lessons that go into a relationship regardless of if that person is a woman or a man. Excellently crafter work of art. A recommendation I'd make to any yuri fan out there.

The art really took away from the overall story. Also, the story could have been told in a much shorter time which tells me that the author was trying to milk it for all it was worth. And it wasn't worth much. This really disappointed me. The two main characters are not only destructive towards each other but they are to themselves and those around themselves. I hated the brother and was surprised a woman like his wife ever married him in the first place. Finding out that a woman has been battered her entire life and saying for her to just deal with it and get over it...not ok. Also, I really didn't even care for the main character. It was like her over abuse was done just to make her seem more pathetic or to make her seem to be someone who needed others empathy. Also even though she said she would take that empathy she always did. This story was not something I will ever read again. Probably the worst yuri, if not one of the worst mangas I have ever read. As a victim of abuse and a lesbian, I find this manga rather appalling.

Ano Ko ni Kiss to Shirayuri wo

So friggin adorably perfect. Glad I stuck with it to the end! Gentle, bubbly and just what anyone who loves stories like Asagao to Kase-san or Aoi Hana.

Sasameki Koto

Still one of my favorites! I'd put it up with the likes of Aoi Hana or Asagao to Kase-san. Fun, light yet still touching in so many ways.
