Heads-up:

• If there are multiple adaptations, I only list the one that left the strongest impression.

• I'm not making recommendations; bad works are included too.

• The order is random. I just wrote things down as they came to mind. Works by the same author might be grouped together.

Manga

• Citrus
• Syrup mixed with glass shards, my gateway to true Yuri. The originator of the "citrus-flavored" tag.

• Bloom Into You
• A girl who doesn't know love. A girl living under a perfect mask. Masterpiece!

• rainbows after storms (Hana ni Arashi)
• How did you manage to hide it for over 100 chapters? A genuine relationship is found in the simple, everyday moments.

• Whisper Me a Love Song
• It's just sweet. Takeshima Eku-sensei's art style is amazing.

• Still Sick
• An office fairy tale for working adults. The pink-haired protagonist looks like an adult Koito Yuu (from Bloom Into You).

• Sirius: Twin Stars
• Classic Western style (the author is Spanish), straightforward communication, no beating around the bush, fast-paced development, mutual salvation.

• I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day
• Stop the pain/stabbing, I'm already numb from it. The art style is very cute.

• The Filthy You Is the Cutest (Kitanai Kimi ga Ichiban Kawaii)
• Bizarre, heavy themes, not for kids. Bad Ending.

• I Can't Say No to the Lonely Girl
• Sweet. Forgot the middle part. Sweet.

• How Do I Get Together With My Childhood Friend?
• Classic mutual feelings held back by misunderstandings, delaying the confession.

• Please Bully Me, Miss Villainess!
• The "bullying" premise baited me. The author forgot the premise halfway through, lol. But it's incredibly sweet. God-tier until chapter 97.

• 听星 (no English translation)
• Yuri H audio drama, quite interesting. Three couples to ship to your heart's content.

• That Time I Was Blackmailed By the Class's Green Tea Bitch
• The couple plays rough, showed me that Chinese authors can be daring too!

• 亲爱的死对头 (no English translation)
• Office Yuri, the gradual warming of feelings is superb.

• My Mom's a Superstar
• The main plot is weak, but I love the art style!

• My Food Seems to Be Very Cute
• As the title suggests, it's just cute!

• Yuzumori-san
• An elementary schooler and a JK (high school girl). This pairing shocked me for a whole day.

• Her Tale of Shim Chong
• All men are villains. Women need independence.

• Hikizan Tautology
• Simple art style, genuine emotions pour out, tear-jerking. Masterpiece!

• Look Back
• Turns out Fujimoto Tatsuki is also a budding Yuri author (lol). Contains angst/tragedy, proceed with caution.

• The Moon on a Rainy Night
• A delicately depicted story about marginalized people.

• E ni Kaita Mochi wo Kaita Mochi
• The paneling/storyboarding is incredibly impactful.

• Monthly in the Garden with My Landlord
• Gorgeous art style, very stylish.

• A Love Letter for the Marching Puppy
• Two families, two generations, substitute/replacement literature.

• Yuri is My Job!
• What a messy circle, the relationships are too complicated.

• Rock Is a Lady's Modesty
• Actually, the Yuri concentration isn't high. The inserted S&M panels are just for fun; the main appeal is watching them go crazy.

• There's No Freaking Way I'll be Your Lover! Unless...
• Light novel adaptation. I'd heard about the famous pink-haired 'Queen of Yuri Harems'. Yuri harem works seem rare, quite interesting.

• Ayaka is in Love with Hiroko-senpai
• Straightforward person meets a deeply closeted one.

• My Girlfriend's Not Here Today
• NTR (Netorare/cheating), the recent developments are getting even more absurd.

• There is No Love Wishing Upon a Star
• You childhood friends should just lock yourselves together, stop messing with others lol.

• Kase-san and Morning Glories
• The high school arc is good.

• The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All
• The protagonist is so cool.

• Destroy It All and Love Me in Hell
• Both protagonists live in extremely oppressive families. Destroy it all! Go mad!

• The Fed Up Office Lady Wants to Serve the Villainess
• The most important thing is for the three of you to live well together.

• Gushing over Magical Girls
• It's such a hot-blooded manga, what are you people really watching it for?

• Lonely Monster and Blind Girl
• Deals with lifespan differences.

• A Face You Shouldn't Show
• BDSM themes. Can't believe this got published; Japanese censorship is really lax. Not for kids.

• Asumi-chan is Interested in Lesbian Brothels!
• Same as above, not for kids. Can't read Japanese, you can read the English translation. I'm here to learn English.

• Shino to Koi
• Forced sweetness/industrial saccharine, nice art style.

• Cast Off Glass Shoes
• OL Yuri short story collection. Adult Yuri has a unique flavor.

Animation

• Sorairo Utility
• Cute, cute, pretty, pretty, so moe, so moe! Lots of small interactions between the three, very relaxing and comfortable to watch.

• Mayonaka Punch
• Fired V-tuber meets a vampire. I really fell for it in the end!

• Train to the End of the World
• Too eccentric/denpa. My brain got chemically burned.

• Strike Witches
• WWII adaptation, flying panties. I like the Nordic pair (Eila x Sanya).

• Riddle Story of Devil
• Purely shipping the CPs. You can ship 7 pairs. Minakata Sunao-sensei's afterstories are a must-read!

• Revue Starlight
• My gateway to twisted Yuri. Watched the first episode five times. Watashi, re-production! Wakarimasu! Masterpiece!

• Girls Band Cry
• It's a shame episode 8 didn't turn into true Yuri.

• BanG Dream! (Seasons 2, 3 + Episode of Roselia + MyGO!!!!! + Ave Mujica)
• Female-female relationships/dynamics. Huge amount of information in every episode. Every episode has memorable quotes. I think I've watched it seven times. Masterpiece!

• Princess Principal
• Okouchi took his meds. Spy theme, British steampunk style, episodic. Protagonists, you two should just elope already.

• Bocchi the Rock!
• The animation/production is off the charts with passion. Can watch every episode twice. Masterpiece!

• Liz and the Blue Bird
• Subtle emotions between girls. Masterpiece!

• Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story
• Turns into a family melodrama. Not enough sugar. But Gundam fans rejoice. Amuro, what the hell are you doing?!

• Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury
• Okouchi didn't take his meds; the plot became increasingly childish. Insufficient sugar/sweetness.

• A Certain Scientific Railgun
• Onee-sama! Computer parts! Okay, actually I think Railgun is super cool!

• Puella Magi Madoka Magica
• Actually, I didn't know what Yuri was when I watched this. Anyway, the head-chomping and time loops shocked my young heart.

• Lycoris Recoil
• Good character designs. Rushed ending.

• Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid
• Interesting, but I usually forget light Yuri soon after watching.

• Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina
• Bad Witch.

• Sound! Euphonium
• Sigh, soulmates.

• NEW GAME!
• Interesting, but I usually forget light Yuri soon after watching.

• Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night
• The script really dragged it down; didn't finish it.

• Izetta: The Last Witch
• Izetta's ending was a bit regrettable. Hope they live happily.

• Girls und Panzer
• Can't even get my first win in World of Tanks, I'd rather watch anime.

• Happy Sugar Life
• Yuri yandere, bizarre, not for kids.

• Assault Lily Bouquet
• Only remember watching it, no impression of the plot.

• Wonder Egg Priority
• Invincible character designs, interesting world-building, but the script couldn't handle it, terrible ending.

• Do It Yourself!!
• Interesting, but I usually forget light Yuri soon after watching.

• Land of the Lustrous
• First time seeing such stunning 3D. The manga ending was terrible.

• Love Live! Superstar!! (Only watched Season 1)
• Might as well watch 'Temptation of Tang Keke'.

Novels

• I'm in Love with the Villainess
• Thought it was just a typical 'transported into an otome game' trope. Didn't expect the sci-fi elements and plot twists later, quite cool.

• Adachi and Shimamura
• Extremely delicate psychological descriptions. My limited vocabulary can't describe this work. Masterpiece!

• Shoujo Mousouchuu
• I still remember being shocked when I saw the aunt and niece relationship.

• Saigo no Ao (End Blue)
• Didn't read the previous work, so I didn't fully understand the plot. But the assassin onee-san is really cool.

• Watashi no Hatsukoi Aite ga Kiss Shiteta (My First Love's Kiss)
• Haven't finished it yet, my 'bad woman' radar is going off. Iruma Hitoma, you're starting to learn bad things.

• 人妻教師が教え子の女子高生にドはまりする話 (no English translation)
• The elements are in the title. Iruma Hitoma, how are you so good at writing this stuff? Some psychological descriptions are so deranged they make me question the author's mental state.

• A Story About Buying a Classmate Once a Week
• The physical relationship progresses much faster than the emotional one. Dragging on for over 300 chapters. The various little thoughts and sulking are interesting to read. But in reality, it feels so troublesome (Shimamura's voice).

• My Crush’s Little Sister
• Love triangle, sisters, substitution, 'White Album'-esque drama... even NTR elements, it's getting twisted!

• A Story About Losing All My First Experiences After Suffering Defeat at the Hands of My Twisted Genius of a Childhood Friend
• Since we can't love each other, let's hate each other. Not even being the primary target of her hate? I don't want that!

• 彼女のカノジョと不純な初恋 (no English translation)
• Triangles aren't enough anymore, so let's have an irreversible trapezoid.

• 女同士とかありえないでしょと言い張る女の子を、百日間で徹底的に落とす百合のお話 (no English translation)
• Actually, ending it in one volume felt good. The kinky play was quite interesting.

• The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady
• Stop writing your childish plot, write more fluff/intimacy.

• The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess
• Mainly fantasy + comedy, then fluff. Has Yuri elements, but mostly one-sided.

• The Executioner and Her Way of Life
• I was confused watching this; too little description of the feelings between the protagonists.

• The Progress of Yuri is Especially Fast Before the Deadline
• What is this 'overbearing CEO' story? Too many points to complain about later.

• Love Accumulates in the Classroom After School
• Is teacher-student the trend now??? Only read a bit, can't evaluate yet.

Games

• SeaBed
• A sense of loss, psychological suspense, intertwining reality, dreams, and illusions. Amazing.

• Reverse: 1999
• Played the first four chapters, found I can't keep up with mobile games, now purely a 'cloud player'. Vertin x Schneider forever!

• Shiina Taki's Decameron (MyGO!!!!! Fan Game)
• MyGO!!!!! fans, go play it! Free! Super high-quality fan work! Taki x ALL!

• UsoNatsu
• The two breakup scenes were too painful. Also contains domestic violence and cheating elements. Enter with caution if you can't accept certain Japanese ethical views.

• Hayasaki no Kuroyuri
• Not good at mystery/deduction games. The author had some ambition to discuss social issues, but the plot was a bit weak. Little sugar.

• OshiRabu: Waifus Over Husbandos
• Stop obsessing over your gacha characters. Does the writer really think gacha characters being more important than a girlfriend is a selling point?

• Perfect Gold
• Sweet, too many perspective shifts. Learning English.

• Highway Blossoms
• Yuri American road trip movie, quite fresh. Later conflicts felt a bit abrupt. Learning English.

• Heart of the Woods
• Ghost-human romance. Contains Trans characters, proceed with caution if you mind. Learning English.

• fault milestone series
• Melodramatic. But it definitely made me cry. Huge world-building, a series, will take a lifetime for the plot holes to be filled. The guard onee-san is so cool.

• Flowers series
• First part doesn't have much sugar, classic stable triangle; Second part is superb, both the sulking and the direct approaches are great to ship; Third part is very romantic, with elements like substitution, slaps, unrequited love, childhood friends, etc.

• Symbiotic Love/Melancholy Love/Eternal Love/Unwavering love
• I like 'Melancholy Love' the most; the contrast is too interesting. The emotional ups and downs after the identity reveal are handled perfectly.

• Love Curse: Find Your Soulmate
• Played the boss route and senpai route's HE/BE (Happy/Bad Endings). Not as twisted or melodramatic as advertised (maybe my threshold is just too high).

• The Street of Adrift
• The plot... some dialogue is really cringe enough to make you curl your toes. Didn't finish.

Original Characters

• Many OCs don't have main stories, mostly AUs (Alternate Universe), so no series/work names.

• 木木雪雪
• Tons of parallel universes, the few setting books released are great for shipping, each 木雪 pair has unique characteristics.

• seaifbara
• Threesome, twisted, lots of ways to play/interpret/scenarios.
