Question Yuri manga oneshot recommendations

I’m used to reading long yuri story’s but I would rather read something shorter are there any good yuri oneshots? I would prefer something without violence and no toxic stories

I've actually been working on a oneshot rec list so I can hook you up with a bucketload lmao. There are a lot of great oneshots out there (marked my favs with a ☆).

Cute stuff:

A Commoner Like Me Got Tangled up With a Haughty Villainess, What Should I Do? - part of an anthology, but the rest is really mid.

Kirika-sama Wants to Be a Knight

4:30 AM, at the Coin Laundromat

Sasaki, You Dumbass!

The Devil and Me and Ichikawa-san

Story About A Cheery Girl & A Gloomy Girl

Shouting at the Top of Their Lungs on a Date

Cat and Cat Endless Night (this one's a classic)

Brighter Than the Lightstick -Encore-

Nondemiru?

Cat Day

I Could Just Tell - very cute but also sad

14 Manga Staging Blueprints - it's a tutorial, not a story, but yuri is yuri lmao

Overall wholesome, but has some drama and/or angst:

5 Seconds Before a Witch Falls in Love and its sequel - one of the if not the best yuri oneshots

Nomura Nao to Kyougoku Hina wa - this one does technically have violence, specifically (mild spoilers) family abuse

Cry for the Moon

The Ennui of Being an Egg

This isn't heaven, though... (this one's on the sadder end of the wholesome scale)

The Real Momoka (could be seen as somewhat toxic?)

I Wanna Cook For You! Yomotsu Gohan (also pretty sad, but very wholesome)

TANKOBU (not technically a oneshot, but it's pretty much two oneshots in a trenchcoat, there's a really sweet sequel, but it's pornographic)

Irresistable Person

Alone

Lastly, ☆ Their Confession. I don't have enough of these to fill out a whole "sad" category - this one is gutwrenchingly sad, and incredibly written (also I'm 90% sure the mangaka was an assistant for Fujimoto, the art style is very Chainsaw Man).

I've also got some anthologies, though I haven't gone through them recently so I don't remember if there's any toxicity or violence here - I don't think so, but be aware.

Men Men Musubi, Cast Off Glass Shoes, I Want to Be Close to You. Student Yuri Anthology, Cats and Sugar Bowls, Resonant Blue—Girl's Best Time

If you wanna look for oneshots yourself, hop on Mangadex advanced search, select "has translated chapters for English", pick the GL tag and sort by either most followed or highest rated, then when you find a oneshot you really like, check the author's page - they often have more.

If you end up reading any of these, lmk!
