Incidentally, speaking myself, as a non-LGBT person, “My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness” is really fantastic.

    4 copies of “The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn’t a Guy At All”? Based as all hell.

    Every manga here is great these are all iconic yuri series

    Also you don’t have to be gay to enjoy gay media. I suppose some people need to know that it’s safe for non gays to read it but I feel it’s awkward to be like “as a non lgbt person this was good”.

    Also the author of “my lesbian experience with loneliness” has several other works in the same vein that have been translated and are solid, my solo exchange diary, one about alcoholism where the name escapes me, etc

    And a question: I do like “the guy she was interested wasn’t a guy at all” but what’s with certain yuri having color tones? That’s the green yuri, but there’s also orange yuri (an ol at her limit and and a college girl), red yuri (boyish girlfriend), and blue yuri (lilium terrarium)

    There’s also way more: donuts under a crescent moon, adachi and shimamura, a tropical fish yearns for snow, after hours, how do we relationship, she, her camera, and me, throw the suit away together, soulmate (webtoon), the moon on a rainy night, etc. there’s also toxic yuri like my girlfriends not here today, destroy it all and love me in hell, and kitanai kimi ga ichiban kawaii (ranked from toxic to utterly destructive and you’ll feel gross after reading) if you’re into that

      Suppose I just didn’t want to give the impression that I was speaking on matters I have no experience with. Like “This is definitely the LGBT Experience™” when I’m a cis straight guy.

    I can second the recommendation for “My lesbian experience with loneliness” absolutely incredible book that got me to buy every other book Nagata Kabi has made, sight unseen. (No regrets there either)
