Hanamonogatari
7 Man, don’t you just love old women yuri. I think does an excellent job at capturing being sapphic in a world where heteronormativity is the expectation. Where marrying and serving a man is the only path for the most part
Run Away With Me, Girl
Finally not a tragic yuri… but still pretty angsty, though. I really loved this! It really showcases the very real struggles of lesbianism, having to deal with heteronormativity, homophobia, misogyny, etc. I thought it was quite refreshing that the FL is pregnant, but it’s not seen as something to be ashamed of. The storytelling is so beautiful and realistic, and even the FL’s abusive husband has trauma like he isn’t just some one dimensional bad man interfering with their relationship (though he’s still a jerk)
