How has no one mentioned Bokura No Kiseki yet? If you haven't read the manga yet you should, I cannot begin to do it justice.

Watashi ga Motete Dousunda is just a shoujo begging for an anime. It's a shoujo with some BL and even some yuri! Fukumenkei Noise and Last Game are also shoujo which need an anime. Especially the latter.
And I'm probably the only one on ANN reading this, but Colette wa Shinu Koto ni Shita is a new shoujo which is really good and I would love to see an anime of it. DameKoi by Nakahara Aya would also make a good anime. I seriously hope they make one. Basically, almost everything from Hana to Yume and LaLa.

Dunno if anyone's mentioned it already but I think "A Devil and Her Love Song" would be a great anime. Maria is a great lead character, and the supporting cast are great too. I think the art would look really nice animated as well.

I was thinking of listing A Devil and Her Love Song myself, and then forgot. I too would like to see that one get an anime!
And, another manga just came to mind. While Vs Alien is only one volume, and rushed because of this, I think that it would make for a fun 12 episode TV anime. Yes, it would have to be expanded upon, but I do believe that (in a perfect world) an anime based on that manga would be good. Kieli is another the comes to mind. Yes, is it a novel series...but it did get a 2 volume manga adaption! The story told in the manga adaption is a good one, and shows some glimpses on what is a pretty dark world. I've yet to read the novels, I do own them, but the 2 volume manga tells a pretty satisfying story that would do well as a 12 episode TV anime. On the manhwa side of things, I think Nabi my be an interesting one. I say I think because I've only read Nabi - The Prototype, and the 2 stories told in that manga were ones I really enjoyed. And, seemingly, the Nabi series is expanding on one of them, which is the one I enjoyed most. And that one involved Myo-Un and Ryu-Sang. I'm sure that if I were to take a closer look at my shelves (as one is double stacked, so I'd have to move some stuff to see whats in the back) I could list more. Last one I will list for now is Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days. I own the manga, but have yet to get to it due to working through a reading backlog, but did give it a flick through. Mainly mentioning it because I'd like to see the characters in something that has a clear and happy ending...

First of all, thank you Rebecca for doing this article. Ever since Right Turn Only!! ended, I've been craving a good review column for multiple manga with a lively discussion accompanying it. The MangaBookshelf/MangaBlog.net set up is great, but they sadly don't have huge community discussions with their reviews.
Have any of the Alice in the Country Of... manga adaptations gotten an anime yet? I haven't read them all, but I'd love to see them animated. Others have mentioned the manga I'd most like to see adapted already, namely Pluto and Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service. (Kuriosagi would also make a great live action film or show). +Anima is another favorite of mine, and would make a good all ages title. |

Things sort of shifted around the time moe became popular. I'm not saying Adult yuri wasn't a thing (it was, and still is). I'm talking about yuri shows or manga that aren't explicitly hentai. There's no middle ground that depicits sex and romance. It's either totally innocent where people think 'well, they could just be friends' or straight up hentai.
For one, there is a sexual attraction present from the first chapter onwards. This is more characteristic of yaoi. Yuri it's usually just an 'oh she's pretty' and they stay friends for several chapters before they even begin to develop a sexual attraction. The fact that Mei and Yuzu kiss in the first chapter is pretty uncharacteristic of yuri; it's more a yaoi thing. Some yuri series don't even get a single kiss all series long. The girls aren't resistant to sex as in most otaku stuff. Even in a lot of hentai yuri you'll see hesitance. Lines like 'this isn't right, we're both girls' and such. Yaoi typically doesn't have lines like 'but we're both boys, this is gay' or anything. It normalizes it more as does Citrus. Also, there's kind of an element of competition and aggression. The 'rival' thing is big in yaoi. Although Mei and Yuzu aren't rivals per se, they definitely push each other's buttons from the get-go. At one point, Yuzu asks Mei why she kissed her; Mei says she just did it to shut her up. Thats a way more common line in yaoi. It also helps that Citrus (I'm pretty sure) is drawn & written by a woman. The paneling reflects more of the 'female' gaze in its use of angles than most yuri does. For example, during scenes of physical intimacy there is more a focus on facial expressions, hands, shoulders, eyes, and kissing. A typical 'male gaze' type yuri manga would have more angels showing the girl's panties from behind, or more shots of their breasts pressed together. This kind assumes a position where the viewer is watching the two girls. Citrus takes things in closer with smaller details to better empathize with the characters and try more to put yourself in the character's perspective, recalling more a sense of touch and smell than visuals alone (again, a lot like yaoi).

I just want 7 Seeds to get an anime. One that will do it justice.

I would love it if Claymore were re-made. The anime didn't do it justice.

100000x agree! It was one of my favorite anime of the 2000s. I'd like them to do movies or OVAs tbh the TV series had to censor too much. |

I think that Citrus leans more towards shoujo yuri, which would explain all of that; the source magazine of Citrus (Comic Yuri Hime) is (or at least used to be) fairly female-oriented, in a general-shoujo/josei-audience sort of way. Most of the yuri that has has been translated into English is aimed primarily at men and boys and consequently is generally either moe-fied or ero-fied; shoujo/josei yuri on the whole tends to be more like BL/TL* because it's being written for the same general audience (and in some cases by the same authors). Although it is true that some female-oriented works have visual/narrative styles that are more typical of male-oriented stuff (there's a reason that Milk Morinaga is hired to write for male-oriented magazines). * TL = Teen's Love, the third angle of the girl-smut trifecta (het erotic romance for female readers, as opposed to "ladies' comics", which are typically just porn). |

@lebrel: Yeah I think that's pretty much it; the yuri that's written for women by women tends to feel more relatable and real. I wouldn't say that most the english translated yuri is male oriented though. Anime? Definately. Manga? Not really. Milk Morninga's stuff, along with Citrus and Whispering Words (Sasameki Koto) is all very female friendly, if not shoujo itself. I suppose there's some cross over though. I can't see Milk Morninga's style appealing to guys in a sexual way though, it just seems so cute and 90's era shoujo looking. That's just me though I guess if some people like it for that, more power to them.
