| List of yuri manga with happy endings |

Yuri Manga Available in English That Have Happy Endings
It's happened to all of us, I'd wager--you're reading a nice yuri manga, the characters have confessed their love for each other and everything seems to be going fine, and then, out of nowhere, BAM! "It turns out we're sisters, she died in a fire, and, oh, did I mention I'm getting married now?" That's an extreme example (though it is a real one--Maya's Funeral Procession), but there are countless yuri manga out there where the characters don't end up together for one reason or another. And while I enjoy the occasional unhappy or ambiguous ending as much as the next person--seriously, they can be a nice change of pace from happy endings--I think we could use a list of yuri manga with happy endings... much as I dread the inevitable arguments over why X or Y manga should or shouldn't be on the list.
What exactly constitutes a happy ending is a rather gray area (as is whether or not a manga "counts" as yuri; I'd rather not have to decide that at all, but some sort of classification is necessary for the purposes of this list), but to make it onto this list, a manga must contain characters involved in a yuri pairing who are both alive (though there are reasonable exceptions, such as vampires) and together (and not just as friends) at the end of the manga.
Aside from the stuff from yurizuki.net, everything on this list is either licensed or scanlated (though not necessarily complete). In some cases, I've linked to http downloads at yurizuki instead of a scanlator's website, for ease in downloading; you can look up scanlators' websites at Manga Jouhou and other such sites.
My favorite manga are in bold; I've put asterisks after the ones that are available entirely in English and pound signs after the ones that are heavy on the smut.

| A List of Must-Read Yuri Manga |
[Jan. 27th, 2008|12:17 pm] |
I put this list together a little while back and was just going to scrap it (a list like this is so subjective that I was afraid it would just inspire a lot of arguments about why people's favorite manga didn't make the list), but some people in #lililicious convinced me to post it today so they could read it.
It's basically just intended as a starting point for people who are new to yuri. To make it onto the list, a manga has to either:
a) Be considered a staple/classic by the yuri fan community; or,
b) Be very popular in the yuri fan community; or,
c) Be so excellent or unique that I personally think everyone should give it a try.
There are no doubt going to be titles on here that you think are total crap and/or don't consider yuri. If you don't like the list as a whole, I suggest you make your own and point people to that instead--whatever saves people from having to list the same old recs over and over again. :)
This list only includes manga that are available in English. Titles with an asterisk (*) after them are commercially available in English (or soon will be).

| List of yuri manga that isn't about schoolgirls |

An expansion of one of my favorite categories from here.
Non-Schoolgirl Yuri Manga Available in English
To make it onto this list, one or both of the characters involved in a yuri pairing must not be schoolgirls. For the purposes of this list, "schoolgirl" encompasses anything from elementary school through high school, though not college or grad school.
Aside from the stuff from yurizuki.net, everything on this list is either licensed or scanlated (though not necessarily complete). For the scanlated manga, I've put links to where it can be downloaded.
This list does include a few original doujinshi, but no parody doujinshi.
My favorite manga are in bold, and I've put asterisks after the ones that are available entirely in English.
