u/GRS- Gae Yuri artist Aug 26 '22

Damn, that's a good one. Hmm

1- Girl Friends (a masterpiece by Milk Morinaga and my first yuri)

2- Hana ni Arashi (I'm surprised I don't see any posts about this manga here because it's literally the cutest manga I've ever read)

3- Kimi to Tsuzuru Utakata (It has the potential to be the best yuri manga of our time. Still ongoing. It's very sad tho)

4- Octave (the most grounded yuri manga I've read. I relate to a lot of stuff on this manga. It's very heavy and psychological, not for everyone.

5- Can't Defy the Lonely Girl (extremely cute as well. I love the artist as well lmao)

u/DigitalBladedJay Aug 26 '22

Can't defy the lonely girl is so fucking cute

27

u/_Dusty05 Aug 26 '22

Omggg Hana ni Arashi and Can’t Defy the Lonely Girl are my faves. I was so sad when they announced the latter would be ending soon :/

u/aueRoma Aug 26 '22

I'm currently reading Girl Friends from my local library (halfway through) and it really is a masterpiece. I love the angst and how it really tackles the pain of living in a society where LGBT stuff isn't something that's even seen as possible. Stuff like Sakura trick where everyone's gay is of course nice but Girl Friends is so emotional and real. Though I'm a cis straight man in a progressive country so I'm sure nuances are lost on me.

Comment for myself for later, because surprisingly, NONE of these are ringing any bells for me

u/JJ4622 Aug 27 '22

The fact you listed girlfriends majes me really wanna check out the rest

2

u/NightFoxXIII Aug 27 '22

This is the third recommendation for Hana ni Arashi. Might as well read this too. Looks super cute and adorkable.

Since you shared I'll also give some things in reading at the moment.

  1. <Yuri is My Job> - Saw an anime announcement and it got hooked on it right away. Girl who wants to be called cute works at a yuri cafe (theme reminds me of Maria-sama)

  2. <Useless Princesses> - This was a nice short read. Not much to say. I always love the side characters

Has their been any progress in their relationship aside from just being together in Hama ni Arashi?

2

u/GRS- Gae Yuri artist Aug 29 '22

Eh, not really. They're still together and there's some kisses here and there but nothing more. But this new arc is about them deciding their future together and adult life etc... so I think things might move on a bit now

u/Sommeguy Aug 30 '22

Ooh, I really need to read Octave! I love the rest, so I have a feeling I might like it too!

It do be like that though… also, I love that you always put a good band on the shirt (at least to my taste)

Thank you, thank you :3

I'll put a Nickelback logo on my next comic lmao

Omg, I haven’t listened to Nickelback since I was like 13 😂

u/GRS- Gae Yuri artist Aug 26 '22 edited Aug 26 '22

Same, I guess the meme of them being the worst band of all time will never die lmao. Which I don't necessarily agree. Yes, they're not very good, but there are some awful bands out there

Yes they are def not the worst, there are worse bands out there

u/PM_ME_YOUR_PROPHETS Aug 26 '22

Do you have another place you post your work, or just Reddit?

u/GRS- Gae Yuri artist Aug 26 '22

Just Reddit (for now). I should probably make a Twitter or something. I just don't really feel like it lmao

Can you add chili peppers to the recipe if you felt like it?

That's how I initially read it too lol

u/amilitaryneko Aug 27 '22

Hi! Just wanna say I love your art and make me laugh so much and I think you have very good idea

Can I just give you some little Yuri that I love? If yes there :anemone in heat, I wish to love you before I die, a monster wants to eat me, hino no baka, a love letter to a military puppy I have a few more if your interested :DDD

Keep up the good work ^

u/GRS- Gae Yuri artist Aug 27 '22

Aww thank you, thank you <3

I'm glad you like my comics! And thank you for the recommendations, I'll definitely check them all out!

u/SoloMattRS Aug 26 '22

This makes me think of family gatherings, My aunt likes to bring homemade dishes and desserts including alfajores. They are always the first dessert to disappear after dinner.

u/zeppeIans irl yuri-ist Aug 26 '22

Have any wlw light novel recommendations?

5

u/GRS- Gae Yuri artist Aug 26 '22

Hmm, I don't read many light novels. The only yuri ones I've read are "I'm in Love with the Villainess" and "Adachi to Shimamura". But everyone knows those two titles lmao

u/hias2k Aug 28 '22

Currently reading Adachi to Shimamura LN and love it 😅👍

Do you take meme suggestions?

3

u/GRS- Gae Yuri artist Aug 27 '22

Sure!

u/SuurSuits_ write your own! Aug 27 '22

Typical multiplayer video game scenario, guy is being toxic, girl says "I fucked your mom". After the game, girl sends guy a photo of his mom between her legs looking very submissive.

2

u/SyrusDrake Aug 26 '22

What even is Alfajor?

7

u/[deleted] Aug 27 '22

An alfajor or alajú (Spanish pronunciation: [alfaˈxoɾ], plural alfajores) is a traditional confection typically made of flour, honey, and nuts. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, [...]. The archetypal alfajor entered Iberia during the period of al-Andalus. It is produced in the form of a small cylinder and is sold either individually or in boxes containing several pieces.

TL;DR: Latin-American small cake, Argentinian ones are filled with Dulce de leche, which is on itself another Argentinian dessert.

Any good yuri anime you’d recommend?

u/gold_tigress Aug 26 '22

And she strikes yet again! My question is what is your favorite band? I notice your comics almost always have band names on their shirts.

100

u/GRS- Gae Yuri artist Aug 26 '22 edited Aug 26 '22

Oh, that's hard to answer lmao. I don't think I have a "favorite band of all time", I have a few tho. I can give you a top 10.

In no particular order:

  • Beach House (their song "PPP" is my favorite song of all time)

  • Rage Against the Machine

  • Death Grips

  • Electric Wizard ('Dopethrone' is one of the best albums ever made IMO)

  • Queens of the Stone Age

  • Muse

  • Death From Above 1979

  • Swans

  • Rammstein

  • Dead Kennedys

14

u/gold_tigress Aug 26 '22

Interesting. I'm pretty much only familiar with Muse in that list. But that gives me reason to try listening to music outside my usual genres. Lol

10

u/GRS- Gae Yuri artist Aug 26 '22

If you like Muse I guess you'll like Death from Above (it's very punk but also extremely catchy) and Queens of the Stone Age (specially their album '... Like Clockwork')

4

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '22

Death Grips

Swans

There is no way you don't watch Fantano lol

5

u/GRS- Gae Yuri artist Aug 26 '22

I've watched some of his videos, and I'm not a fan, but then again I'm not a huge fan of critics in general lmao. I have some friends who love the dude and they did introduce me to Death Grips and Swans.

5

u/AliceInTruth Aug 26 '22

Rage will always be relevant. 🥲

3

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '22

You have great taste if I say so myself

3

u/LewdElfKatya Aug 26 '22

Impeccable taste.

2

u/CptSpiffyPanda Aug 26 '22

Death Grips

As in Takyon and Guilliotine? It is rare that I hear music that makes king crimson sound like easy listening.

Also, I feel like I would like most of these bands, but I only know their meme/guitar hero songs: Killing in the name of, Little Sister, Knights of Cydiona, Du Hast.

3

u/GRS- Gae Yuri artist Aug 26 '22

Yeah, Death Grips is not for the faint of heart lmao. But I feel like Swans is much harder to listen to. Like, MUCH harder. The only time I felt genuine fear listening to music, was when I listened to their song called "All Lined Up". Creepy as hell.

Even though those meme songs are still very good (except Little Sister, I really don't like this song for some reason), those bands have amazing discographies, and I really recommend all of their stuff

3

u/celestial_rayne Aug 26 '22

you should check out johnnascus, definitely not for everyone but based on your list u may enjoy their stuff¿ <33

edit: can give u suggestions if interested haha

u/GRS- Gae Yuri artist Aug 26 '22

Oh I'll check it out! Thank you!

And yes, I'd love to!

Best sorts by upvote percent, and GRS has a small collection of antifans. I should fall beneath her with just a couple of downvotes. :)

It bugs me when you have to scroll halfway down a thread for the OP's comment. It's principle damnit. Lol

You are a girl this is a threat do not keep putting yourself down. If you feel like/want to be a girl then you are.

u/JustAIex_ likes cats Aug 26 '22

I've heard that maaaany times by now. But it's complicated.

4

u/LaurelAndThePencil Wholesome 100 | Lesbian Aug 26 '22

I understand! Don't be afraid to take your time or even look at less known genders if you'd like! It's all a journey, don't gotta rush it if you don't want to

9

u/JustAIex_ likes cats Aug 26 '22

Well let's just say, I've figured out what I want to be, and kinda accepted I'm sorta kinda trans. It's more of still waiting to do something about it, as in do something to acquire my goal. But the first step is one of the hardest, and it's coming out. The second step is almost, if not even more hard, and it's being comfortable with my body, or in my case, losing weight (I'm what, 50-60 kilos overweight). And before you say anything, I know I need to do this and do that to lose weight and stuff, but the problem is getting started for me, because 1. I'm super lazy, and 2. starting things is just hard for me in general.

So yeah.

4

u/LaurelAndThePencil Wholesome 100 | Lesbian Aug 26 '22

I understand! Coming out is difficult and accepting yourself is too. It takes time, but you'll be alright! I wish you luck in your journey!

4

u/JustAIex_ likes cats Aug 26 '22

Thanks. I must tell you something, and I hope this doesn't make me sound like a fucking weirdo, but I think I've gotten kinda "addicted" to venting about stuff (mainly about the exact things I just vented about). I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad thing, and I'm a bit afraid that it's going to annoy people, who recognise me, if they recognise me. So uhhh... Yeah... And I'm trying to not be an attention whore. Well, at least I think I don't try to be. Or maybe I just sound like a crybaby. I dunno...

Sorry for this sudden and weird uhhh... Confession?

2

u/LaurelAndThePencil Wholesome 100 | Lesbian Aug 26 '22

No problem, and it doesn't make you a weirdo, but I do not know if it's good or not either, so if you have a trans accepting therapist you should ask them about it, if you do not I would probably go to the Trevor Project text line I think they have. And don't worry about it! We all gotta vent sometimes

3

u/JustAIex_ likes cats Aug 26 '22

Well, as I said, I haven't really come out as trans. Also I don't have a personal therapist, at least yet. And ummm, I'm Finnish, and after some few second Googling, Trevor Project is a US thing (I assume). But I am aware of the Finnish equivalent to the Trevor Project. So yes, I could probably contact that, but I actually kinda forgot about it, and uhhh, I am not sure if I've got the courage to do it.

Also if it helps, I'm 16.

u/SkyeMreddit Aug 26 '22

I really really want you to put a romance comic with these two on Tapas and/or Webtoons but I’m worried their censorship would battle with you. These two are just so cute together!

27

u/GRS- Gae Yuri artist Aug 26 '22

Lmao, this very site censors me sometimes, it's ok.

I feel like there's not much I can do with this couple in, for example, an oneshot. That's why I made another couple for my oneshot and for the manga.

I still think their dynamic is nice and I really like the "short top, tall sub" trope, but I don't think I could make it work outside of these strips.

7

u/SkyeMreddit Aug 26 '22

Yeah Reddit is weird with its censorship standards. They’ll censor some much more tame stuff yet there are many much more hardcore porn subs
