| Nominate a yuri manga for inclusion in the Club Relations! You can give an explanation of why if you want. Once a manga has been nominated it will be included in the next monthly poll. Voting will last one month and the winner will be added to Club Relations. Those that don't win will be added to the next month's vote as long as it gets 3+ votes. I wasn't sure what to do about club relations, but this seems better than me choosing whatever I want(and way more fun). Thank you for your participation <3 |

| Tsukiatte Agetemo Ii kana (How Do We Relationship) This comes as a surprise to no one. It's my favorite and I highly recommend it. |
| My Candies: |
| I wrote one post but then had to delete it since I had more ideas. I'm very sorry. I'm still unsure if finished manga is acceptable, but seeing Yagate Kimi ni Naru on the list makes me suspect it is, so here you go. 1) Dekisokonai no Himegimi-tachi (aka Failed Princesses) 2) Omoi no Kakera (aka Fragments of Love) 3) Philosophia 4) Sasameki Koto (aka Whispered Words) 5) Hello Melancholic 6) Kanojo no Idea 7) Amayo no Tsuki (aka The Moon on a Rainy Night) 8) Ano Ko ni Kiss to Shirayuri wo (aka Kiss and White Lily for My Dearest Girl) 9) Okiku-san wa Ichatsukitai @JennyAysgarth Can you please choose 3 of these to be included in the December poll. I'm trying to limit it to around 10 choices. Thanks, and sorry for the trouble. -CureSolo |

| Finished manga are fine. Gotta say that Moon on a Rainy Night is incredibly deserving. I also really love Failed Princesses. I think my love for Shirayuri is maybe a little biased, but who knows. I would love to see a Takemiya Jin manga win at some point and Omoi no Kakera is probably my favorite. Next month poll is going to have a lot of choices. If it gets to be too many I might have to make a rule change for nominations lol. |
| My Candies: |
| If nominations are still open, I'd like to suggest: • Yuri de Naru♥Espoir and an additional push in: • I can't believe I slept with you. |
SardinecowNov 5, 2023 11:35 AM
| We already have a ton for this next poll, but I would like to nominate Kase-san Series Girl Friends She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat(Tsukuritai Onna to Tabetai Onna) |
CureSoloNov 23, 2023 8:01 AM
| My Candies: |
| @CureSolo, sorry to have suggested so many. Then, for December, let's go with 1, 2, and 5, but, if possible, may we return to this in January and later? I'd love to have all of them included eventually. So, it would be Dekisokonai no Himegimi-tachi (aka Failed Princesses) Omoi no Kakera (aka Fragments of Love) Hello Melancholic |
JennyAysgarthNov 23, 2023 8:15 AM

| It's really no problem at all. Thanks for the nominations, and yes, we will definitely return to them. |
CureSoloNov 23, 2023 8:45 AM
| My Candies: |
| This time I'll propose Ano Ko ni Kiss to Shirayuri wo (aka Kiss and White Lily for My Dearest Girl). It's a classic, really! |
| Days without rants: 283 |
| These will be added to upcoming polls: Amayo no Tsuki (The Moon on a Rainy Night) Kimi to Tsuzuru Utakata (The Summer You Were There) Tsukuritai Onna to Tabetai Onna (She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat) @JennyAysgarth You can choose 1 manga that will be added to the April poll. Anytime before April is fine. |
| My Candies: |
| Thank you, @CureSolo! I guess, now it's time to nominate Kanojo no Idea. It's a rare yuri manga to use ancient Greek philosophy for plot construction while NOT, I repeat, NOT having been written by Shuninta Amano. I enjoyed it very much and recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it so far. |

| I often run into the problem that I’ve read so many yuri that when I go to look into people’s suggestions I’ve already read them but don’t really recall. A bunch of stuff that has been on the poll or suggested for it has fallen into this category sadly. With that being said I do try to reread some to remember what exactly it’s about. Anyways this is the poll to suggest series. So I’m going to say brides of iberis: https://myanimelist.net/manga/145948/Iberis_no_Hanayome One of if not my favourite manga dealing with love between women. It’s aimed at adults and tackles the idea of polyamory and self discovery. |
| naners~ |
| For the next time, I would like to nominate Kimi to Tsuzuru Utakata (aka The Summer You Were There). I cried my eyes out as I read it. It is an absolute masterpiece, and I voted for it in the official poll for manga that should be adapted into anime. |
| Days without rants: 283 |
| Ongoing manga are fine. This one has been recommended to me a few times. It's about time I read it. |
| My Candies: |
| Oh, that's a good one indeed. A very realistic depiction of depression and how it can be overcome. |

Reply to Naellys
Also, an amazing yuri doujin manga that really deserves to be on MAL is Ano Koro no Aoi Hoshi. Depicts emotions in a very gentle and poetic way.
| @Naellys Ano Koro no Aoi Hoshi is so good. Sadly, it is just a self-publication, so it doesnt meet the requirements for MAL DB :/ |
| CGDCT |
| Let’s try Odoriba ni skirt ga naru this time :3 |
| Days without rants: 283 |
| @JennyAysgarth I love that manga! At first I wasn't sure what it was, but then I read the description and remembered. It has 6 chapters since I have read, so I need to get caught up. It only has 1k reading, so I don't think it has a chance in a popularity contest, but I absolutely adore it. |
| My Candies: |
| @CureSolo, I don't really expect it to win or anything, but it's absolutely wonderful, and even somehow relatable even though I know nothing about ballroom dancing. I'm just relatively tall so I kind of know what the protagonist goes through. Anyway, I suggested it because I think some people may have missed it, and therefore I treat it as a recommendation. If I'm honest, I voted for a different manga myself, since I think it's also very very good |
| Days without rants: 283 |
| @JennyAysgarth Odoriba ni skirt ga naru is so good!! Good nomination. Recently got volume 4, but sadly missed out on the limited acrylic stand... ;( I'd like to suggest Arioto for july poll. |
| CGDCT |
| Well, as shameful as it is to admit it, Arioto is one of the most persisting lesbian fantasies in existence put into actual form, so, yeah, I'll second it. Come on, pulling a straight girl to this side, of course, it would get anyone going! (Although, in fairness, she wasn't straight to begin with, so whatever). Sorry, I'm just musing about |

| Okay, now that I realize our president has had to come up with a list of great manga every month without our input for so long, I'm feeling guilty. It's not me being ironic, just in case. So, here's a list of future suggestions of mine. They can be used all at once, or one a month, or in any other way, it doesn't really matter. They're in no specific order. Hitozuma to JK: an ecchi manga about a married lady in her late 30s who has an affair with her daughter's classmate. And it's not as silly as it seems. Dore ga Koi ka ga Wakaranai: hardly needs any introduction, we're all reading it Sabori nara Hokenshitsu de Douzo?: an age-old premise of a schoolgirl crushing on the nurse, but this time, the nurse is the ultra-cool prince type Kusanagi-sensei wa Tamesareteiru: a middle school teacher has to somehow fend herself off straightforward advances from the daughter of her childhood crush who looks very much like her Wasureenu Majo no Monogatari: this is a supernatural masterpiece and one of the most brilliant yuri works I have ever read |

| @JennyAysgarth Highly second Kusanagi-sensei, it lives rentfree in my head. More importantly it actually tackles the age gap really well, instead of showing a moeblop aftermath that many manga tend to do. |
| CGDCT |
| @Ahopiyo-_- I agree wholeheartedly. Moreover, I must confess that I've recently found myself in an age-gap situation, and I re-read it for some solace. I was purely amazed at how much on point it was. Not that I'm involved with a schoolgirl, but the age gap is comparable. And the slightest nuances are so correct that I don't know what to even think about how the author learned about them. It's either they knew it or their imagination is beyond brilliance |

| @JennyAysgarth You really do find such a gem sometimes where it is eerily similar to something you are going through, and you cannot help question if the author was just that in the zone or went through it when writing it. I've been in a 20 year difference age-gap myself, being the younger one, so I find myself enjoying those stories, despite knowing many might consider them problematic. |
| CGDCT |
| @Ahopiyo-_- the saddest irony is that, as of recently, I've been in both... well.. positions. I know this stuff from both sides. Right now, I finally get what my older girlfriend was going through back then. I feel I owe her an apology. But anyway, yeah. Having found myself in this situation, this time from the other end, I went and started re-reading all age-gap yuri I know of, and Kusanagi-sensei is one of the only a handful of such titles that seems to really know what it's all about |

| @JennyAysgarth Kusanagi almost gave me anxiety at some points, just did it really well. It must be really surreal to be in the other position now, I can't even imagine. Hope for all the best for you two though :) |
| CGDCT |
| @Ahopiyo-_- It's surreal in more ways than one. I must admit that it was quite creepy to find my own thoughts in the internal monologue in Kusanagi-sensei, but there you go. Thank you for your kind wishes, but I don't think it will last. Such relationships only work in manga and in some selected real-life cases. I, for myself, feel the end drawing nearer, so it's a sad moment for me. Returning back to manga, I also feel idiotic for originally omitting it, but I do think that Fuzoroi no Renri should be put up for voting. Not that I seriously think it could win, but I really feel it's a hidden gem that needs more attention from the yuri community than it seems to get |
| Days without rants: 283 |
| You two sold me on Kusanagi-sensei. I gotta read that sometime. |
| I also added Kusanagi-sensei to my planned. @JennyAysgarth Fuzoroi no Renri is so good. |
| My Candies: |
| @YummyLunches and @CureSolo, I'm sure you are in for a very pleasant read that provides a long-awaited decent and respectful look at this situation, which is quite complex in its own right @CureSolo, hear hear, it's amazing. I wonder, what's your favourite storyline there? Personally, I enjoy the mangaka gamer/editor gamer one the most (not that I think that other ones are not as good, it's probably my professional bias speaking, but still) |
| Days without rants: 283 |
| I'd like to nominate Urasekai Picnic, preferably the light novels, as I hear the manga is weaker. Admittedly though I haven't read the latter, but if it makes more sense to list the manga, I wouldn't object. |
| @curesolo Assorted entanglements (fuzoroi no renri) is something I have collecting on my shelf and I look forward to getting into it some day. @mitsubachi03 I have not read the light novels for other side picnic (urasekai picnic) but am mostly caught up with the manga. It’s quite good. It’s the anime you want to avoid, as they had budget issues and it does some stuff out of order. |
| naners~ |
| Well. Here’s my honest opinion. There are several series that I call pseudo-anthologies. Something like Kiss and White Lily or Otome no Teikoku. Basically, they follow several couples that are loosely intertwined. But I truly believe that Fuzoroi no Renri is the pinnacle of this format. With all due respect to other ones, which I love |
| Days without rants: 283 |
| I really enjoy pseudo-anthologies as you call it. It feels refreshing, but I also appreciate just a shared verse or cameos like Mochi au Lait series or in Takemiya Jin's oneshots. It just really feels refreshing. It is more often seen in anthology series with the same author instead of multiple, but many still tend to use that opportunity to release a volume where it is a mix of multiple verses, which is fine, but I am just a sucker for a good callback or cameo. Wish more would make them in the style of Shuninta Amano. Still haven't started Fuzoroi no Renri past a few chapters despite it sitting on the shelf, should really pick it up, but then again same can be said about so many others. At least we're not in a drought of good stories. |
| CGDCT |
| @Ahopiyo-_- I do enjoy that, too. The first example of that in the full-fledged form (at least as far as I know) is Morinaga Miruku's Kisses, Sighs, and Cherry Blossoms Pink. There sure is a shared universe within one school, though. At the same time, it doesn't feel like "everyone's a lesbian now," which is great. But yeah, the Mochiverse is on a whole other level. I love it dearly. At least partly because it is not collected in a single volume or even a single series, but it just implies the same universe through interaction with characters from other stories, even if it's minute and mostly inconsequential. But I do recommend Fuzoroi no Renri all the more for that very reason. Technically, it's more or less the same as Kiss and White Lily in terms of different couples connected to each other, but their stories are just, well, great. Really great. It starts off simple yet slightly dramatic, but as more characters join the flock and chapters grow longer, it builds up into one of the greatest pseudo-anthologies to ever grace this world. Personal opinion |
| Days without rants: 283 |
| @mitsubachi03 Thanks so much for your nomination. I apologize, but for now we are sticking with manga, though I am open to the idea of including light novels in the future if enough people bug me about it. I'm a huge fan of Urasekai Picnic for many reasons, but presently I can't say that it's a yuri manga. From what I hear the light novel is yuri beginning in volume 4, so I expect the manga to get there eventually-at which point I will get it into the poll. If you disagree and want to present evidence, I will be happily take a look. I need to read volume 11, who knows, maybe it's really gay and I will eat my words immediately. |

| @CureSolo Hmm, well, I can't give too many particular examples from the manga as I haven't read it, but based on what I've seen other people posting in regards to the manga, it's gotten well into the more "concrete" parts of the yuri. at the end of file 11, and from file 14 have both been adapted at this point, so I think it'd be entirely reasonable to include it in a list of yuri manga. As for the novels I felt the subtext was pretty thick even from volume 1, but I'm not sure how much of that made it to the manga, and that it was suggested to me as yuri probably impacted how I read it. I don't think it's that much of a stretch, though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
mitsubachi03Dec 20, 2024 12:07 AM
| @mitsubachi03 So far in the manga no confession has actually happened as of volume 10. I went digging around for these moments in the manga and realized that you were referring to LN volumes. I did find out that this "boobs are cute" moment happens in chapter 75, which will appear in volume 14 of the manga, which hasn't even been released in Japan yet. I will read ahead of the English releases just for you and make a decision. Give me until the end of next month or so. Believe me, I would be super happy to include it as I am a huge fan of the series. I just think that including subtext yuri in the manga relations would be a disservice to most of us who are generally looking to discover series with actual w|w romance. |
| My Candies: |
| @CureSolo That's totally understandable. From what I can gather, if someone went into the official english language manga right now, based on where it ends they would only be getting subtext, or slow burn but without any... burn?... yet, so if you're just going off of the official translations then it would be better to wait as regards the manga. Also, don't feel obliged to go too far out of your way just for the sake of putting up for vote a manga I (sort of) suggested, as much as I love this series (in the form of light novels), it's really not that serious to me, I wouldn't mind either way. Also, somehow I didn't realize that using volume like that might cause confusion, I'll change it to file instead so as to be clear for anyone reading this in the future lol |
| @mitsubachi03 It's definitely not out of my way. I'm very excited to read it and just needed a little nudge. I finished vol 11 last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. I gave myself until the end of next month because of the new anime season, but I will very likely have it done before this month ends. |
| My Candies: |
| @mitsubachi03 I'm caught up and Urasekai Picnic will appear in the next poll. |
| My Candies: |
| I would like to nominate Hanamonogatari. It's a cute yuri between two elderly women, and Yoshiya Nobuko's writings are central to the plot (especially her Hanamonogatari, which one might be able to surmise), so you get to learn a little bit about the progenitor genre of yuri. There's more to it than just that, mind you, but those are the most relevant elements to this group. @CureSolo I missed the spoiler box when I read your message the first time, but I agree, Sorawo is great. You really get into her head in the LNs (given that they're exclusively from her first-person perspective), so it gives you a sense of how... strange... she is. Unspecific spoilers, not for anything beyond the manga. Although, this might be evident in the manga, too, for all I know. I'm still reading the light novels only. |
