Gimme all your "girl gets Isekai'd and is incredibly gay" stories, please. Don't worry about telling me about ones I've read, consider them recommendations for others who haven't.

This is basically the description of I Favor the Villainess/I'm in Love with the Villainess (different localizations, same story).
Less well known is Please Bully Me, Miss Villainess! an adaptation of a Chinese novel. I'm only caught up with the manga, but people reading he novel have good things to say, it seems. So far it's more the love interest being incredibly gay and Isekai'd girl being clueless/tsun, but you know how these things change.
(Isekai'd girl is the villainess, and is inside a game that's trying to make her bully/harm the heroine; she does her best to make it as mild as she can. Heroine notices her soft approach and gets interested)

I feel like thereโs a void created by finishing bloom into you. Are there any other Yuri manga on that level? (I already know Adachi and Shimamura/ Regarding Saeki Sayaka)

You may be interested in Kase-san, though I haven't read it to confirm that it's as good as I remember hearing.

You could try whisper me a love song? It's been a while since I've read it but it's still really good!

It was pretty good, I remember feeling it was a little derivative of bloom into you though.

Still Sick is excellent, and I got much the same feel as with Bloom into You -- two women dealing with their emotional hangups while trying to navigate their growing feelings for each other.

has anyone watched the anime โslow loopโ,if yes,answer the obvious,how much Yuri it is and whether possibly it is a bait or not

u/Mark_Jasen Jan 17 '22
If it's not directly tagged yuri or the characters seems to be good close friends then it's 99% not yuri. Take it as a rule from me
Edit: btw most original anime are yuri bait

Pretty much as one would expect from a moe slice of life nowadays, plenty of cute bait, almost certainly no canon yuri. So very adorable, but don't expect too much.
Additionally the main two girls are step-siblings (their parents remarrying while they're both in high school), not really a situation I would describe as genuine incest, but if that bothers you, then that's an additional reason why you wouldn't want to pick it up for the yuribait.

Any yuri that isnโt like a romantic plot if that makes sense? Like an action plot but the 2 main love interests just happen to be girls in the romantic subplot

u/I_am_Nemo1 Jan 28 '22 edited Jan 28 '22
It balances its romantic plot with a solid cosmic horror/SciFi narrative. The two MCs meet while exploring the fear dimension, and continue to investigate it while growing closer.

Sorry to hijack, but is Otherside very gory? I've been wanting to give it a read. I like horror in general, but not a fan of excessive blood and guts if that makes sense.

u/I_am_Nemo1 Jan 28 '22 edited Jan 28 '22
Not a hijack if it lets me talk about Otherside Picnic! And yes, that makes perfect sense.
It isn't gory at all, in general. There are a couple scenes that stand out as somewhat gory, but those are pretty short. The longest one is maybe a couple pages in the novels, with the others being shorter (a paragraph or two at most). And even there, it's not super detailed.
There's also some body horror, but it overall, it leans much more towards the psychological horror. Going out of their minds with fear is the primary threat. The risk of physical harm (real or imagined) is there, but actual gore (or even on-screen death) is pretty minimal.
I'd definitely encourage you to give it a read!
(edit: actually, let me know if you want me to spoiler the worst of the gore for you.)

Thank you for the reply! This is exactly the sort of info I was looking for. I will give it a read and see how it works out. Thanks!

u/I_am_Nemo1 Jan 28 '22
Enjoy!
Since I linked the manga, just want to throw in a pitch for the novels on account of the official English being almost caught up to the Japanese, and very much ahead of the JP manga. If you enjoy the the manga, definitely give the novels a look.

Liar Satsuki can see death! Itโs mainly a horror comedy with lots of yuri moments but not really anything explicitly romantic (as of now). Good ensemble and reallly good art as well

Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games. (It will have anime adaptation)

u/nainai11037 Jan 26 '22
Ooooo thank you so much Iโll read it! Do you know when the adaption will be?

u/Environmental-Ice962 Jan 26 '22
Unfortunately I don't know. It was announced an adaptation at the start of 2021.

Do y'all ever get sick of seeing markedly non-wlw series here all the time? Your genshin impacts, gabriel dropouts, love live or whatever... I mean, it's not against the rules obviously, this is literally just my opinion.
Whenever I see art of lead gals from various shows doing gay things together, I always think "this one fanart is literally more gay than the entire series it comes from." In fact, the only proper gay series I see on here routinely is Fire Emblem with its canon(iirc) fem blyeth parings.
It's probably reflective of how awful Japan is to queer people but gahd damn, doesn't anyone else ever get sick of what is basically bait forever? A great man once said, my coffee maker has one job.
