for true gl connoisseurs only!!!!

i'm making this as a bookmark to myself and recs to people who also dislike a lot of popular schoolgirl yuri tropes. not all stories have adult characters though ex: her shim-cheong

includes all forms of media, including visual novels/video games

yuri/gl:

her shim-cheong:

retelling of korean folktale from the "other side" of history

sfw, happy ending

opium:

story about two doctors, one korean-american and the other korean, in post-WWII korea

nsfw, have not finished yet

how do we relationship?:

modern college relationship drama between a bunch of japanese lesbians

nsfw, happy ending (open ending for some chars?)

wicked spot:

modern fantasy about a witch that escapes her remote home to live as a human

?, this one got axed but i really like it, have not finished yet

without a voice (video game):

visual novel, historical fantasy (?) about meeting a mysterious woman in the woods

gore in some bad endings, one or two happy endings

sadistic beauty side story GL:

nsfw manhwa, basically just s/m with some relationship moments in between

stories that contain yuri/gl:

innocent:

there is a very small amount of gl in this but i'll take what i can get and i really liked marie sanson

VERY NSFW, insert every content warning, most of innocent is about the male main character

arcane:

no explanation needed

honorable mentions (no explicit gl):

reverse 1999:

gacha game, historical fantasy

because of censorship, no explicit gl but fandom is very focused on it, i definitely felt like there was a lot of romantic subtext between some characters

if you didn't know, kimberlé crenshaw, a black feminist, civil rights activist, and legal scholar, created the term "intersectionality" in 1989 to describe the combined marginalization experienced by black women.
