Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone out there knew any good shoujo-ai or yuri titles?
I've recently had this urge to read them. With all the shounen-ai and yaoi around, it's making me wonder why there isn't any yuri. So, if anyone knows about ANY english translated shoujo-ai or yuri, please post all the titles you know.


Thank you.

Are you looking for manga? That would be over on the manga side.
Yuri-can't help you, Don't pay attention. I collect yaoi/shonen ai.
Clamp has a bit of both in many of their titles-Tomoko loves Sakura a bit more than the usual girlfriend relationship, but she keeps it at the worship from afar mode. There was a scene in Bleach with a girl coming on to another girl, but it was just in one vol(I'm in the middle of Volume 3, though, so it might continue). El Hazard:Alternative anime has a little girl who likes other girls.

Although its main point isn't about shoujo-ai relationships, the R.O.D. OVA definitely has something going on between Yomiko and Miss Deep.

Ghost In the Shell: Stand-Alone Complex features a shoujo-ai relationship in a few episodes. For example, Episode 5 ("Decoy") features Kusanagi looking up her "external memory" in the apartment she shares with two other lovers (one of which is a nurse who returns in Episode 8 ["Missing Hearts"]).

(This stems from the uncut version of the manga, in which we learn that Kusanagi is a lesbian with the two other lovers, but the uncut manga is more yuri than shoujo-ai.)

Hardly. Miss Deep cares about her lover much, much more than Yomiko. The relationship between Yomiko and Nenene in R.O.D TV is much more evident.

BTW, in R.O.D manga Nenene spoiler[gave her first kiss to Yomiko (her second)]. For a very funny yet serious reason, though. Wink
