im pretty sure i read a scanlation of this but its been so long it might as well be all new. The arts real cute and you gotta love an idiot that cant tell that her crush is a girl
Since my last recommendation went over well, here's another one: https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/talk_dirty_to_me/
It's a Korean smutty yuri manhua about two girls in a kpop idol duo thing who form a toxic bdsm relationship together. It is also hot trash, but the latest chapter was weirdly touching? (I hope I don't become known as "the toxic yuri guy" I'm actually mostly into fluff, I promise!)
So yeah- GOOD TOXIC YURI MANHUA I’m like 12 chapters in, out of 51 (which fair warning it’s on the Lezhin comics app so that’s a lot of coins) and I’m having a great time! Manga about idols having a secret relationship is one of the best genres- and heck this is a twisted secret relationship! That said, there is a real soft core hidden under the verbal abuse just beginning to peek out I feel. good recommendation thanks LOTTE OUT

Kurumi Yoshizawa, the student council president, has excellent grades and an inviting, friendly personality… on the surface at least. In reality, her days are spent struggling against her domineering mother and agonizing over her teachers’ expectations.
One day, Kurumi reluctantly goes to meet Naoi, her truant classmate, at her homeroom teacher’s request to look after her. The situation sours quickly as Naoi sees through Kurumi’s facade and makes her animosity clear. On the verge of a meltdown, Kurumi is barely able to stop herself from shoplifting, unaware that she’s being recorded by Naoi…
This is a violent story about two young girls struggling every day with no escape.
From a new yuri harem timeslip villainess manga reincarnation manga, which you know- fantastic genre imo, gotta be one of the top genres out there. I quite liked the first chapter and have been waiting for more - and heck was not disappointed by chapter 2. Who would have guessed she’d become such a useless lesbian so fast. I’m rooting for this gal
I WAS ENJOYING THAT YURI MANGA IT DESERVED MORE VOLUMES HECK IT ALL!! I, Lotte May, am an idiot and i love manga about idiots, i love manga about mangaka/editors, i love manga about idols having a secret relationship and i love manga about ladies falling in love. This book, is all of these things
I've read a bunch of the stuff in your top picks already, but I do want to say I am so glad to see someone else recommending Even Though We're Adults. God they are such disasters and I love each and every one of them
Even though we’re adults is probably one of the best yuri manga ever published and I’d wholeheartedly a billion percent recommend it to anyone who loves women, messy relationship drama and just like reding comics about the realest shit

A cool blonde gal-coded schoolgirl is holding a notebook, with a smirk on her face. "Like, come look at this! Look at what I like, found~. Is this what you're like, always drawing in class, Introvert-chan? LOL"
She's standing next to the desk of the student whose notebook it is, a darkhaired, flustered girl with glasses.
Other classmates surround them, laughing. Classmate B in the foreground says "Uwaaa. You're so mean, Moepi~ LOL"
The blonde girl, Moepi, asks "So, what should we like, do? You all want to like, take a peek at what's inside~? LOL"](/attachments/2382492f-d544-473d-9342-2524a6fb5578/page%201.jpg)

They've opened the notebook. A manga has been sketched inside it.
The blonde girl, Moepi, says "No way... It's like, ero manga..."
First frame of the sketched manga has an embarrassed manga-Moepi saying "Wait, where are you touching?" "N... No, I'm too embarrassed!"
Second frame features 2 manga-classmates. Classmate A is lustfully promising "We're going to punish you *soooo* much <3" Classmate B shushes her, cautioning her. "The teacher will notice!"
Third frame has a header card that reads "The gal's secret, Episode 1"
Manga-Moepi yelps "Nooo... This is my first time..." as Classmate A kisses her and fondles her, while Classmate B holds Manga-Moepi's right arm, breathing hard.
There is a snippet from the next page where we see a partial frame where Classmate A says "Let's take this off~"](/attachments/467c9c1e-cc82-4717-876e-1f9b99338c7c/page%202.jpg)

A title card says ["The Next Day"]
The same students are gathered in the classroom again, in about the same configuration.
Moepi is blushing, much less mean-girl, hearts in the air above her as she plays with her hair and asks "So, like, Uchida... Uhh... Is there, like... more...??
Uchida, the darkhaired girl is also blushing, shocked and surprised, a "What?"
Classmates A and B are flabbergasted, going "What the hell?!"
Both Uchida and Classmate B think "What?! She didn't throw it away?" "What did you *do* with it?!"](/attachments/d07f763d-0469-483c-878e-408ad3c1ccb1/page%203.jpg)

ive seen the first two before but this 3rd one is new to me, GOOD CONTENT
Thank you for posting about fun yuri comics. Most recently I binged "Ayaka is in Love With Hiroko" in a single night. Wishing you all the best in whatever the future brings.
Ayaka is in Love With Hiroko is incredibly good - recommend to everyone whos a fan of useless women. Apparently there was a live action adaption earlier this year I WOULD LIKE TO WATCH IT does anyone know if there's a fansub of that?!?! i realllllly don't know where to find jdrama livesubs

It’s always cool to see self published or indie manga on kickstarter and I 100% pick up all the yuri ones I’m made aware of - posting it here as I know there’s a lotta yuri girls here who also like it when office workers kiss
Volume 4 is REALLY good, like the best in the series by far but heck I TOTALLY forgot it just ends like that, it felt like it had at least one more volume in it - kinda bummed all over again.
A wolf in sheep's clothing: a trickster, trying to fool others by blending in
A sheep in wolf's clothing: an already cozy lad, in an even more cozy fur coat
Aki Rikujo, a Wolfa, works as a butler at the royal castle in the land of Sheepa. Her quiet and peaceful days get shaken up when she saves the life of Princess Momo Shiudafaris. The shy sheep princess immediately latches onto Aki who, before she knows it, becomes the princess’s private tutor. Momo wants more than just math lessons from Aki, and even sneaks into the wolf-woman’s bedroom to seduce her! Aki soon realizes that, under the timid woolly exterior, Momo is a wild animal
Yes, all good bookstores. Book shops that don’t sell yuri manga are NOT good.
Aight, if you want some hot steaming trash that suddenly starts getting unironically good at one point and now characters who were originally one off jokes are getting really good character development for some reason, you should check this out:
https://dynasty-scans.com/series/sorry_but_im_not_into_yuri
Genuinely one of the wildest things I have ever read. I binged it all in one night and it was a WILD ride. The Main Character goes from being a total scumbag to actually forming a friend group and having a really sweet relationship with someone??? Shits crazy
Oh yeah this one is genuinely really sweet and good AND trash, it’s a true masterpiece. If you love reading about messy, truly terrible selfish people slowly bettering themselves, making friends and finding solid, heartwarming relationships this is the one to read. Heck it’s messy! It’s got a real unique art style to it as well that feels hella fresh.
https://mangadex.org/title/8f3e1818-a015-491d-bd81-3addc4d7d56a/warui-ga-watashi-wa-yuri-ja-nai
There’s deffo a trend in yuri at the moment of having stories with absolutely scumbag lead characters who are TERRIBLE in every conceivable way slowly redeeming themselves almost entirely by accident, it’s such a funny sub genre and it’s hella cool that we can let queer women be THAT messed up. The other big one that comes to mind is scummy gap student, which yeah- messy but ends up wholesome. It’s such a good flavor.
Also on dynasty - https://dynasty-scans.com/series/a_scummy_gap_student_with_a_hard_life_calls_upon_a_lady_of_the_night
But where do girls go on dates now? You can't just take away their natural habitat like that!
It depends on the genre of manga your reading and the frame of mind your in. The Aquarium will always and forever be a date spot for cute girls in love, just as it will always be an oasis for the overworked professional woman who just wants to nap in the jellyfish room. Context is queen, don’t be ashamed to take a date or visit by yourself. The Aquarium is for all women
Coincidentally, the aquarium in this manga is based on the one in ikebukuro sunshine city, good lesbian date spot recommended
Someone should give Flowerchild a medal for her services to scummy women
I’ve still got a couple of volumes I’ve not read, I should fix that soon eh?

Sleeping on the sofa is the best
Every damn day before I go to bed, I lay in bed and read yuri until I fall asleep. And then I post cute little snippits from it (or really dumb snippits from it) onto this website for your enjoyment. And I get a lot of people who go "Liz, as the world's leading yuri sommelier, what would you recommend?"
And I always say just ask and I'll give you a yuri or two to tide you over, but someone suggested I just put that shit in a post SO I'MMA PUT THAT SHIT IN A POST
The following is a list of manga that I recommend, alongside a brief description and anything that might be controversial or content warningy. If you like any of these, let me know whatcha think, and consider supporting the artists and writers! You can often find a way to do that on the website I'm linking.
Also, this is not NEARLY a list of EVERYTHING I'd recommend, and I may add to it in the future. I'm also avoiding yuri that's not finished or finished being translated, so there's a LOT of amazing ones that I don't want to get you into and then have you be sad when it never finishes getting translated. If you all like this enough, I might do another one where I recommend a bunch of yuri that's still being worked on. I might also do another post down the line about oneshots I really like. This is ENTIRELY series.
Anyways, bring on the cute girls!
Warnings: Age gap (both adults), parental abuse
This is a historical story taking place either in the late Meiji era or early Taisho. Yuki is a young lower class woman working at a cafe frequented by upper class society. She's a quiet and shy girl who lives her life between work and her books, her favorite of which are by the fluffy romance author, Azuma Beniko. So when Azuma Sensei shows up in her cafe, it overwhelms her. And then Azuma says that she wants to use Yuki as reference for her new novel...
Read this if you like: Extreme fluff, light drama, hot women playing with soft shy women.
If you like this, you should read: Literally anything else written by the author, Nagori Yu. She has a type, is what I'm saying. This is, to my belief, the only thing she has ever actually FINISHED, but all of her unfinished manga that's halfway through has this dynamic of hot powerful woman and shy cute woman.
Even If It Was Just Once, I Regret It
Warnings: Oh boy, a lot. Age Gap (both adults), starts with sexual assault, power imbalance dynamics, light ecchi
Okay now listen, when I describe the conceit of this manga to you, you are not gonna like the sound of it. This is the hardest manga to recommend but it's also one of my favorites, okay? Here we go.
Koduka-san is a game dev who has recently gotten fired from her job. She's drowning her sorrows in alcohol, and is unable to function or pay rent. Her landlord (the manga CALLS her a landlord, and Miss Landlord, but she's really more of a person who works at the apartment complex managing it and working with the occupants, she does not own the building) comes by to check up on her and gives her an offer on how to keep living there. The offer, at least through Koduka's drunk haze, seems to be "sleep with me, and you can stay here". So Koduka does.
Once she awakens, she immediately regrets it, and Miss Landlord gives her another offer. She can stay there with her, and if Koduka "services" her, she will consider the debt repaid.
Now I know how this sounds. It sounds fucking horrible. But trust me, this is actually a REALLY good manga. It's light and fluffy, but is built on MASSIVE misunderstandings that will eventually give way to almost slice of life pleasantness as these two live together and grow closer.
Read this manga if you like: Lots of fluff and can put up with a bit to get there, enjoy seeing "straight" girls realize "oh shit wait why DID I immediately jump to having sex with her", idiot couples, medium levels of drama
Warnings: School girls in high school, lightly echii. Nothing explicit, but they are REALLY makin' out.
Shiine and Ichika aren't quite friends. Barely even acquaintances. They know of each other, as the other... fascinates them in a way they can't explain, but they never had a chance to interact. However, at the start of the school year, they're both selected as class representatives, and thus work together on the student council. After Ichika is late to a meeting, Shiine offers to help tell her what she missed, and they begin to talk to get to know each other... and the conversation goes to kissing.
Ichika assumes Shiine has dated and kissed COUNTLESS boys, after all, she's so hot and cool. Shiine hasn't but feels embarassed and embraces the lie. So Ichika wants to know... what is it like to kiss...?
Once the two start... they fall into a routine. Once a week, sometimes even two or three times a week, after school, the two meet up and kiss each other. They're less than friends, but also more than friends. Kissing friends. Can they move past how they feel and become something even more?
Read this manga if you like: EXTREME LEVELS OF FLUFF. OVERLOAD. OVERLOAD. Girls making out with girls. Idiot couple, like holy shit REALLY BIG IDIOT COUPLE ENERGY. "THIS GIRL KEEPS ASKING ME TO MAKE OUT WITH HER EVERY DAY AFTER SCHOOL I WONDER IF SHE LIKES ME LIKE I LIKE HER"
Warnings: Light to medium drama. Abusive relationships, stalking. Homophobic and abusive fathers.
This one is Thai, so if you read it and think the vibe is different, it very much is! And so are the names. Trust me, these are the character's actual names in the story. This isn't some mistranslation.
Donut is a young girl who is just entering college. She's nerdy, not conventionally attractive, and has never really experienced love. One day she runs into an older student at the dorm washing machine, a cool lady named Mew. Mew is friendly, and maybe a little... flirty? No, that couldn't be, they're both girls! The two hit it off as friends, and find out they're actually neighbors! What a coincidence!
This is a story of their friendship as it grows into something more!
Read this if you like: Girls who are more experienced picking up "straight" girls. Simple concepts. This one doesn't have some major grand arching plot, except for some stuff involving an ex. It's not OVERLY fluffy, but it's good pleasant romance.
A Timid Woman Longing For Her Delivery Girl
Warnings: Sexual Assault in backstory. Sick grandmothers as a plot point. Mid level drama.
Ms. Takase is a woman who works from home, and rarely leaves her house. She is afraid of the outside world, and others, after she was sexually assaulted at her old work, and her coworkers blamed her for it. Now she just wants nothing more than to be alone... until her delivery girl, who brings her her weekly groceries and other things, enters her life. Rinko is a bright and cheerful girl from the boonies, and while Ms. Takase is hesitant at first, they quickly become friends... or perhaps more?
Read this if you like: Short and sweet stories. It's only three chapters long. Mid level drama, there's some heavier misunderstandings, the pre-mentioned assault, and sick loved ones.
Warnings: Age gap, mild drama, ecchi and has some smut that's easily skipped
A half human half monster girl wander the wilderness alone. She is incredibly lonely, and not mean, but her appearance causes people to run from her, and since she's a half monster, other monsters shun her. She lives in an abandoned shack full of books she's found, and reads them to herself. One day, however, she runs into a young girl who doesn't run from her. Lily, the young woman, is blind. The monster, for the first time in her life, lies, and claims she is a traveler, wandering far and wide. Lily asks her to tell her stories, and the monster recounts stories from the books she's read so that she can keep this girl as her friend. As the monster has no name, Lily names her Heath, after her favorite flower.
Read this if you like: Monster girl stuff! Mild angst. but mostly cute fluff of two girls who are DEEPLY in love with each other, one of which just happens to be a big scary monster who would die for the other.
Warnings: MAJOR age gap. One girl is a senior in high school and the other is nearing her 30s. Their relationship is "pure", but y'know, that's still massive squick.
This is a cute couple life manga about Hina-chan, a high school student, and her girlfriend, an office lady named Yayoi-san. Yayoi can't take care of herself, and Hina comes over and cooks for her and other such things. It's mostly cute sweet fluff, but has huge themes of age, maturity, and growing up.
Read this if you like: The themes of maturity and growth. Couple life manga. If you handle such a large age gap, it's actually quite good. Just y'know, illegal.
Warnings: Blackmail, kinda noncon
Ayaka is a young girl in highschool who wants to be JUST like her older brother, who is the perfect student and perfect older brother. She wants to get top marks like him and go to his college, which is REALLY hard to get into... but she's absolutely TERRIBLE at taking tests. So her teacher offers to give her a recommendation so she can get in easily, if she'll just get the delinquent, Honda-san, to actually come to school. Honda isn't your typical delinquent. She's kind of a quiet emotionless girl who just... doesn't want to come to school, possibly due to depression.
Honda learns of Ayaka's deal with the teacher, which worried Ayaka. If word gets out that she's doing favors to get a recommendation, it could kill her socially with the other students! But Honda san offers a deal. If Ayaka does whatever Honda asks her to do, once per day, then Honda won't tell anyone. And what kind of things will Honda tell her to do?
Yep! Gay things!
Read this if you like: Shockingly wholesome stuff. Like, considering how it starts with noncon kissing, it evolves in a great way. Read this if you like seeing someone come to grips with loving someone else and just being too fucking dense to realize it.
Warnings: Major angst
Nanaki and Kanade couldn't be further opposites. Nanaki is a gyaru who is OBSESSED with being the prettiest girl. She's rude and forceful, and a bit of a bully. Kanade, meanwhile, is a shy and quiet otaku wallflower. However, once Nanaki is dumped brutally by her cheating boyfriend, she can't go to any of her friends, because they're just as cruel and as big bullies as she is. So who is there to support her and give her a shoulder to cry on? The "ugly" wallflower, Kurosawa Kanade.
Thus begins Nanaki's slow character growth and transformation as she and Kanade grow closer...
Read this if you like: Major character growth plots. LOTS of angst and drama, no one in this manga is actually alright deep down.
Warnings: Very lewd
This one is interesting cause at one point, it was my #1 suggestion. I LOVED this manga. It's severeled cooled on me though, especially after it just unceremoniously ended, with the artist ending it with a big sex scene that felt a little odd, after the entirely of the manga. Anyways, the description.
Tadokoro-san is a quiet gloomy otaku in high school. She draws manga and keeps to herself. Sakurako, meanwhile, is the school idol. She's gorgeous, rich, and perfect in every way. So when Sakurako falls hopelessly in love with Tadokoro after seeing her art and how adorable she is, Tadokoro can't help but be overwhelmed.
Read this if you like: Essentially yandere, without any of the actual violence or death or anything. Sakurako is BASICALLY yandere levels of in lvoe with Tadokoro. So, read this if you like seeing really horny girls be VERY horny for other girls, because that's like 70% of this manga. Also lots of height gap and gap-moe.
Sekai de Ichiban Oppai ga Suki
Warnings: This is practically just porn, it's so ecchi.
This is one of the goofier ones I'll recommend.
i got this new anime plot. basically there's this high school girl except she's got huge boobs. i mean some serious honkers. a real set of badonkers. packin some dobonhonkeros. massive dohoonkabhankoloos. big ol' tonhongerekoogers. what happens next?! transfer student shows up with even bigger bonkhonagahoogs. humongous hungolomghononoloughongous.
In all seriousness, there's two girls. The cool prince of the school, Chiaki, and Harumi, who is a normal school girl who happens to have some serious honkers. Chiaki confesses to Harumi, but not y'know, a love confession. This isn't about love. This isn't even about sex or perversion! Chiaki just REALLY likes tits.
Chiaki must grope Harumi like, once a day, or she will run out of energy. Boobs are her recharging spot. She LIVES for boobs. This manga is so fucking stupid but I kinda like it anyway?
Read this if you like: dobonhonkeros. massive dohoonkabhankoloos. big ol' tonhongerekoogers. humongous hungolo-
Warning: MASSIVE angst. Abusive relationships. Cheating. Pregnancy. Lots of self enforced heterosexuality and internal homophobia.
Maki and Midori dated all through highschool. Come the end of highschool, however, Midori decided to call it off. After all, they were "too old" to be "playing" at that anymore, right? They had to grow up. Start a family.
Ten years later, by a chance of luck, the two run into each other again! Midori is living her dream. She's getting married, and she gets to meet her old highschool best friend again! At least, things look good... on the surface. Her marriage is worse than it looks, and re-discovering this long lost love isn't helping. Can the two of them run away together, away from all of this?
Read this if you like: Really heavy stories exploring homophobia, homosexuality, and societally enforced heterosexuality.
Warnings: None I can think of
Hinako wants to be normal. She just doesn't GET it. All her life, she's been surrounded by a society that tells her she should fall in love. But she can't. No matter what, she can't. And then she ends up getting closer to her coworker in the office, Satou-san, a serious working scary girl... and something begins to change. But it's not what society always told her it would be. What is this new feeling?
Read this if you like: Explorations of asexuality, amidst two girls falling in love with each other in a way neither of them ever expected.
Warnings: Really pushy girl with a crush
This comic is TECHNICALLY still going, but it's two chapters away from the end and you can read it early if you pay. Which I have. So it goes here.
The Demon Queen sits up at the top of her tower. Whichever adventurer can reach the stop, through 100 floors and her right generals, can take her head and gain the admiration of the human kingdom and riches beyond their wildest dreams. But to reach that point, not even just kill the queen, you have to be top of your class. And the top of the adventurer guild's school is none other than the mage Malori.
Too bad Malori has NO INTEREST in actually killing the Demon Queen and getting all that power and riches. No, she wants to marry the Demon Queen instead.
Read this if you like: Slow burn with one girl head over heels. Idiot couples. Comedy, this one is actually very funny. Video games, it's heavily inspired by JRPGs and is in an Isekai world, but is NOT actually an Isekai story, just takes place in a world where people from Earth get Isekai'd to.
Warnings: Vampires. Blood. Violence. Older than she looks age gap, though she's still mentally a child, she IS a vampire.
Ichika is a normal kid. Her grandmother, a shrine maiden, just passed away. On the day of her funeral, a strange foreign girl named Aria appears... who claims to have been her grandma's friend. She needs Ichika to do something for her, something ONLY maidens of this shrine can do. Aria wants Ichika to kill her.
What follows is a strange romance story where Ichika can't help but fall in love with the terrifying, but very attractive vampire.
Also I fucking LOVE the art in this one.
Read this if you like: Action manga spiced with yuri. Vampires and monsters. Some horror and scary themes.
Warnings: Not much tbh. Gay girl pining for straight girl? Is that a thing to warn about?
Lumiao is a senior in high school who loves dressing up in lolita fashion. One day she meets another cute student, Yuxuan, who she's CONVINCED would be perfect for lolita! Yuxuan, however, is a shy tomboy, who isn't into fashion whatsoever. But the two become friends anyway. But what is Lumiao to do when she realizes her feelings of friendship move past that... and when Yuxuan starts to develop feelings for the popular but friendly sports jock?
Read this if you like: Cute girls and lolita fashion. Gay girl pining for straight girl.
Warnings: Sick girlfriend

About a College Girl Who Gets Picked Up At A Mixer By An Older Girl
Warnings: Age Gap, both are adults
One more for now! This one is... exactly what it sounds like on the tin. Rika is a shy but sweet college student who is invited to a mixer. The men there are kinda handsy, and she's saved by an older woman, Natsuko, who... slyly takes her out to a cafe and back home instead.

VERY GOOD ACTUALLY - that woman SO needed to get punched in the face actually! And then this happens?!? Fantastic outcome! Good things come to those who study!
Literally the worlds slowest woman
I actually subscribed to Manga Planet cos I saw some of Morishima Akiko’s trademark INCREDIBLY soft girl art and was like…. YEAH. I DESERVE to read some manga about soft girls. Turns out this isn’t a manga, it’s more of a picture book slash light novel (written by Nambu Kumako), with full page illustrations and large text, it was a little unexpected but I am a simple girl and was immediately hooked.
Genre wise, it’s a romance-with-characters-who-have-disabilities-but-also-the-title-is-a-pun which has gotta be one of my favourite subgenres these days (love is in sight! And a sign of affection are both in that category and also excellent!) - BUT this one is a Yuri coming of age kinda thing and yeah, it dosnt do anything wildly different but it’s SUPER good at poking holes in your heart and sighing wistfully and all that.
The main story is really good but there’s also an incredibly sweet epilogue giving some side characters some much much needed chapters together which just really pulls the whole work together nicely.
So yeah, not what I expect but I’m super glad I read it!
You should also check this out if your a yuri fan and never seen it, it’s a little diary comic by Morishima about visiting a bikini girls bar with a bunch of yuri mangaka and like, heck yeah I’m SO glad yuri mangaka get to go out on girls nights together like that - that’s so good!

useless lesbian
These two morons, these idiots, these absolute buffoons, these cretins, these not very smart people BOTH make much cuter girls than boys. Anyways wow what an incredibly complex, messy book. I think “kid with a case serious of the genders working in a cosplay cafe” has to be one of my favourite genres, right up there with ‘generic isekai’, ‘villainess but yuri’ and ‘idol but with a secret partner’. All great genres imo.
One of the BEST things about this is the main characters do have friends that immediately 100% clock them and just don’t do ANYTHING with that information- it’s just like huh cool I guess my best friend makes a hot girl I’ll leave them alone/watch from afar because this WILL BE funny. That kinda rules heh
Isekaied (heart attack) - pretty good. The anime was pretty trashy (also good), I’m surprised by how much effort went into the art on this one. For genre perverts
I think this is probably my favorite ongoing yuri manga at the moment- the day to day life of these two ladies is so pleasant and healing to read about and their work struggles are very real and relatable - and heck I love manga & anime that’s about the manga & anime industry- stories about people working in creative industries give me life, especially when thoes stories have girls kissin girls too.
Vol. 2
Shits getting interesting! Turns out the government has Psychic police - and they think Sasaki’s newfound magical powers are DEFFO psychic powers… which they arnt (its otherworld magic he learned from his pet bird obviously.. you've been keeping notes right?). So now he’s gotta try pretend to be a psychic, keep his magic hidden and keep doing the whole commuter isekai thing. Its neat
idk what else to say - this series is just REAL good and REAL smart about using genre tropes to build something real unique. you should deffo read it, and the bonus pages where the mangaka talks about the development process. just so many big brain plays here imo.
isekai bullshit, i remember the anime being kinda ehhh but the light novel is way more interesting, and does a better job of expressing the themes of moving forward and not stagnating - real young adult fantasy stuff you know, btu yeah its a much better piece of work i think. The audiobook is well produced and the narrator is pretty good - its not the worst way to spend an audible credit
As i write this jeff bozo personally came and delivered volume 7 of The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess to me SO YEAH TIME TO CRINGE REAL HARD I GUESS - also i still need to start rereading citrus lol.. maybe ill get around to that?
NOTE: The post got too long, even for me, lover of long posts. From now on ill link the previous weeks post like this... maybe ill make an index later too lol

The main story has finished serialization its some cute furry fluff - so if you wanna read about a sheepgirl princess seducing her wolf butler lady, go have at it - its pretty good. an official English version is coming out later this year! oh yeah but anyways some after story stuff just got translated. its good to see they are doing well t-t

Kasane accidentally finds out her new coworker is a crossdresser, and REAL cute when he does it, they do some dates about it.

Random dude: "Hey there, pretty ladies! How would you like to hang out with me and my friend?"
Yuki, overlapping: "No, thanks! She's going to spend all day with me, and you're being a real pain in the ass, so get lost!"
Random dude: "A... A pain in the ass?"
Yuki: "I'LL PROTECT MAHO!"

Five women are now gathered around the newcomer, surrounding her, blushing, hearts floating in the air around them. The one in the blue top, squeezed in against her left side, is holding a piece of pork between chopsticks, ready to feed it to her. "Kazeno-san~ <3 This chashu pork is really delicious? Would you like a bite? || Ah! It'd be an indirect kiss, but that's alright, isn't it?!!"
The newcomer, blushing, uncomfortable as another of the original trio has her arm around hers, pressing her chest against it: "Um... Shouldn't we get the men more involved...?"
One of the other women: "Huh? Men? What men? <3"
The men are all shocked and depressed, staring at the scene in front of them, going "eh?" "huh...?!" "no way...!"
