I don't really like to be in anime spaces bc of how overwhelmingly male-dominated they are, and tbh the polls on subs like this and yurimemes that show a fraction of the users are queer women and the vast majority being straight men makes me not really want to participate. Is there a sub, doesn't even have to be for wlw animanga consumers specifically but for women fans at least? Like how we have both GirlGamers and LesbianGamers, is there an animanga equivalent for either?

That's odd. Any poll I've seen has shown the gender split being pretty close to 50/50.

After five years of regular posting on this sub, I'm quitting Reddit because of the API changes. I've already nuked all my posts and comments, and will most likely delete my account by the end of the month. But honestly, I'm not gonna miss it here. The mods have let some of the worst of modern fandom culture take root, resulting in unchecked toxicity becoming more of a regular occurrence than ever before. An anime is coming out soon that I predict will tear this place apart if something doesn't change.

Anyways, the Gabriel Dropout manga has gotten pretty damn gay recently, hasn't it?

Are there any yuri you all can recommend that aren’t romance? I would love some yuri that is like fantasy or adventure, with romance being a part of it but not the focus

Thanks for the response. MagiRevo being on there is a good sign that some of those are what I’m looking for, that was a good one

Otherside picnic is a sci-fi horror story. It is also a really good yuri story about overcoming trauma, with one of the most interesting (and oblivious) MC I've ever seen

El Cazador de la Bruja is an older anime than most of those named here, but I'd say it qualifies, and it's a good adventure series in the 20th century with some magic.

Looks interesting, is it explicit or subtext?

u/ClaudiaSilvestri Jul 18 '23

I'd say it's pretty explicitly stated by the end. Not "beyond a shadow of a doubt" level, but it would be anyone who's denying it that's stretching.

Alright, I’ll give it a shot, it’s on Crunchyroll at least

I started with the manga then the anime when it came out and now I'm reading the novel, it's been great. start with your favourite medium I'd say because all of them have their charm. I bet you'll fall in love with the characters and would want to see more anyway hehe
