yuri!!!!!!!
as a lesbian and a romantic i think it's imperative that we all himejoshi out. stop letting men hog the spotlight and start shipping those two women.
manga
featured manga: My Puppet of Desire by Itsuki Tsutsui
toxic obsession yuri published by Shonen Jump? yes please general recs: mangadex list i try to keep up with, updated somewhat infrequently
for physical releases, my english copy of Boyish² is extremely cherished
anime
i don't actually watch all that much yuri anime, but i do entirely owe my teenage years to yuri-bait anime and gacha games like Love Live!, Hibike! Euphonium, Bang Dream, etc and their fanworks, like these two amvs, though recently Bang Dream: It's MYGO!!!!! and Ave Mujica have taken the crown, those shows go insanely hard and the relationship drama is unbelievable.
scholarship
i enjoy academic papers, and i love seeing people smarter than me articulate my thoughts on gender in yuri and yaoi. they're paywalled behind JSTOR though, so if you don't have university access they may be hard to read.
