RANKING YURI MANGA! PART 1
I'm back with another ranking! i know it's been quite awhile, but I've begun to read quite a bunch of Yuri Manga! I still have tons of other mangas to read and Im exicted to read them. I dont think im gonna make another 2 hour video on yuri mangfa, as editing a video on manga is MUCH harder then Anime, but i probably will talk about a few of them on my channel at some point. anyways, lets begin with the ranking!
(HUGE SPOILERS FOR SOME OF THE BIGGEST YURI'S! CHECK THE TAGS TO SEE WHAT IS SPOILED!)
17. If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It To The Budokan, I Would Die
Honestly this one ranks about the same as the Anime, I really don't have much else to say about it that I didn't already say on the Anime, Though even if its not finished, I loved how they ended off Kumasa's sendoff in the manga, it was really well done IMO. Kumasa is still my favorite in the series, so Im glad he got a happy ending.
5/10
16. Whispered Words
Im unsure whether this is unpopular opinion, but I think i prefer the anime to the manga for this one. I think the new characters introduced were good, but honestly, I think the slowburn ended up getting dragged out too long, to the point I didn't even realize the two began dating within the last few chapters, I dont think it was communicated properly. It still wasnt bad Though.
6/10
15. Adachi and Shimamura
This is Definitely an Improvement from the Anime! I loved how the two got together, and I find their interactions really cute once they are a couple, but its honestly still just, fine to me. Its definitely better then it was before though. I cant wait to see where this one ends up going!
6/10
14. I Can't Say No To The Lonely Girl
The first one that doesn't have an anime! And Honestly, it was the most. Fine thing I've ever read. I literally read this like 5 days ago and i've already forgotten most of it. The main two, Sora and Sakurai were both really fun. I love the small arc with Sora's Mom, and I really like the character of Mioranga, and her past was pretty cool to see, sides that, not much else I have to comment on.
6/10
13. The Anemone Feels the Heat
This one was honestly quite a mixed bag. The Positives first, Komiyama and Ootsuki's relationship was really damn sweet, and I loved seeing Ootsuki's warming up to her despite hating her at first, and their small past together was cute, and I love how they gave Komiyama a bit of a disability, but then here comes my negatives. they eventually just, kinda forget the fact that she has a disability, like it only gets brought up once. and outside of the main two, I feel like the rest of yuri only happens for, the sake of yuri happening. I mean Uda and Riri had some cute moments, but thats really it, they didnt really have much substance. and the other relationship i just flat out dont like between the student council president and nurse teacher. like genuinally that didnt need to exist. but besides that, I think this one is pretty decent!
7/10
12. Stardust Telepath
this one is on pretty equal footing with its anime counterpart, but i absolutely love the more romantic tension between Yuu and Umika, and I absolutely love the focus on Umika's Lore in Volume 4, that shit was honestly so fucking cool to see, I'm so happy we actually got a slight answer to why Umika came to this planet, if there's even any other aliens out there, and Im so glad we got something regarding that. This is quite a good read, I recommend it!
8/10
11. Bocchi The Rock! Series
Honestly I absolutely love the direction the manga takes after the anime. Seeing the Kessoku Band girls get so far to their dream, even to the point where they are currently heading ON TOUR is so damn cool, I love it. and I love the new side characters like the Sideros Girls, and I love the spinoff manga focusing on Hiroi's band! its really chill and laid back I adore it! The Anthology series was really good AND WE HAD AN OFFICIAL BOKITA CHAPTER IN IT THAT WAS SO COOL!!! I LOVE BOKITA YEAHHHH but honestly yeah, This is quite on par with the anime, and I can't wait for season 2 of it!
8/10
10. She loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat
This one was really good! I loved the relationship between Nomoto and Kasuga, its really cute seeing them just enjoying cooking and eating together, and seeing them slowly fall for eachother was great! and i love how it showed different eating habits with, well the two mentioned above but also Nagumo, its really sweet and even shows off a little bit of asexuality which is always appreciated! Love that bit of rep.
8/10
9. The Guy She was Interested In Wasn't a Guy at All
honestly this one felt like a blink and it was over yuri, all the chapters being really short, but it was still a pretty good read! I can see why this was the talk of the yuri genre for a bit. Mitsuki and Aya talking about music and just being just nerds together is so amazing, and I adore seeing their relationship evolve and eventually becoming romantic. Though at the time of writing this, they just began going to college not too long ago, and I do feel like it came outta nowhere kinda (also goddamn what a chapter for me to finish reading off of lol). they introduce a buncha new characters, but they dont get introduced its acted if like theyve been here the whole time. but hoinestly, not too big a deal, im sure we will get to learn more about them soon enough. but goddamn, this one was so good.
8/10
8. Asumi Chan is Interested in Lesbian...
idk if i can say the word on tumblr, so i will not. This one was honestly pretty wholesome and sweet for its topic. I really liked how cute it was seeing Asumi chan keep going to these places searching for Mai, but Ill be honest, I think Nanao was a better Partner for Asumi then Mai, at least from what we have with the story so far. I still think its really cute and it has lotsa hot stuff so if thats your thing I recommend it! It was quite cute and I thought it was good!
8/10
7. Bloom Into You
the fact that BLOOM INTO YOU is only NUMBER SEVEN should really go to show how many of these mangas were fucking peak. I've talked about this anime quite alot, and I think the manga was really damn good, and I love how they concluded Yuu and Touko's story, with them putting on the stageplay, and the two finally getting together by the end, and we even get a few chapters of em being cute together, which im glad they had, a good ammount just end it after they get together, so I'm glad we got something a bit more. Its still one of the top dogs of the yuri Genre!
9/10
6. Whisper me a Love Song
I read this one not too long ago, and yea this is leagues above the Anime. (AND THE ANIME WAS ALREADY AND STILL IS ONE OF MY FAV THINGS EVER) I love this manga so much, and I think the anime definitely fumbled the bag with excluding thing like Yori and Himari's first kiss and moving it somewhere else, it felt like a really weird thing to cut, but I understand time things. but I think the new stuff after the anime ends isnt as good as the stuff in the anime, I think its still really good! theres some weird shit, like with Miki having a crush on her sister like I really just dont think that was needed. but besides that, the manga is really damn good. and Im happy we had that anime adaptation, without I might of never read the manga.
9/10
5. The Moon on a Rainy Night
Ooooohhh this one is so damn good so far. Having a mostly deaf character like Kanon in this is such a cool idea, I love it, and her relationship with Saki is so sweet, Saki is just such a nice person. (tho kanon you are the most oblivious person ever holy shit) And I love the side characters like Rinne, Ayaka, and ESPECIALLY Tomita, who originally makes fun of Kanon for her disability, but once she loses hearing in one of her own ears, she realizes how much of a shithead she was and changes her ways, its such an amazing story and I can't wait to see how it goes and evolves. Im exicted for whats to come!
(EDIT I JUST THE NEW CHAPTER THAT GAME OUT A FEW HOURS AGO LETS FUCKING GO THEY KISSED)
9/10
4. The Summer You Were There
OUGH. OH MY FUCKING HEART DUDE WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK MY HEART HURTS SO MUCH. I had a feeling this one would be doomed yuri just by the title, BUT HOLY FUCK I WASNT READY FOR IT STILL. THE PANELS, THE WAY THE CHARACTERS TALKED, SHIZUKU'S CHARACTER ARC TO FINALLY LEARN TO MOVE ON FROM HER AWFUL PAST ALL THANKS TO KAORI< BEING ABLE TO APOLOGIZE TO RIRI, ALL FOR IT TO BE BECAUSE OF KAORI, ONLY FOR KAORI TO SLOWLY DIE IN THE END DUDE MAN WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK SHE JUST DIES RIGHT AFTER SHIZUKU CONFESSES TO HER, AND KAORI'S NOTE AT THE END AND THE FUCKIN PROPOSING TO HER GRAVE DUDE WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK. I CAN'T BELIEVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS EXISTS I CRIED SO HARD TO THIS. PLEASE READ THIS ONE IF YOU HAVENT YET.
10/10
3. I'm in Love with the Villianess
no matter where, it seems this one is stuck at my number third favorite.
But god I THOUGHT THE ANIME WAS PEAK, the manga was so fucking good. Rae's past was so damn sad with her friend who ended up killing herself.. dude that shit was insane. AND CHAPTER 51 OR SOMETHING WITH THE KING GETTING KILLED AND ROD GOING MISSING??? YU'S WHOLE TRANSFEM ARC, Lily is also a good character but I don't care for her too much. But All of the new arcs are all so so good! The Manga is Really close to wrapping up and Im so exicted to see where it heads! I cant wait to read the light Novels once this is finished.
10/10
2. Kase-san Series
somehow, something did it. something beat Kase-san, and youll see what that is soon. Kase-san's Manga is still so cute and sweet, I love seeing them before they were in a relationship. and I love seeing their college life together meeting tons of new friends and stuff! and I love how they actually get in fights in this one (ik that something I praised the anime for not having fights, but honestly I think its a good change of pace for the manga and it makes sense for rough patches to happen)
This manga is still really damn cute and I love it to bits! Its a must read for any yuri lover and an ABSOLUTE MUST WATCH TOO.
11/10
1. How Do We Relationship?
I had no idea what I was getting into when I began reading how do we relationship. I was expecting something pretty sweet with maybe a bit of drama along the way. AND I GOT DRAMA ALRIGHT. WHEN MIWA AND SAEKO BROKE UP IN VOLUME 4 I ACTUALLY LOST MY MIND. But this is such a damn cool idea for a manga! Splitting up the main two's relationship, the funneling them off into seperate romantic relationships while remaining friends so they can independently grow eachothers characters and become better people, only to boomerang back to eachother at the end, oh my god its so good. this is such an amazing realistic way to write a relationship, and I fucking adore it so so so much. I went through like 20 stages of grief with this one. You all need to read this one so fucking bad if you havent. its legit one of the best things I've read, PERIOD.
11/10.
And that's the end of the first Yuri manga ranking, Man so many of these have been so fucking peak, and I got quite the backlog so I'll be back soon to rank more soon enough! see yall then!
