I’m under the impression so far that whatever people feel like suggesting, we don’t really have much people to be picky and to be frank all my suggestions are gonna be manga

What series is that? And what are some of your other suggestions? Unless you want to wait until the rules are all set and nominate them formally.

I dont mind writing some down regardless of nominations lol
the one I was thinking about is called 這い寄るな金星 (frankly from the summary you would think it is but I can’t find the tag?? baka-updates said it has “GL subtext” hence the ambiguous thing)
another one that is vibes but nothing explicit is マザーグール, but that one I’m not sure about nominating since it’s a lot more of a “survival world” themed, hence wasn’t sure it’ll fly (edit; so according to baka-updates it is Shoujo ai and not just vibes)
some of the others are
SHWD《シュード》,
ゆりでなる♥えすぽわーる ,
白と黒 ~black & white~ ,
はなものがたり ,
彩香ちゃんは弘子先輩に恋してる ,
裏世界ピクニック (the novel in this case, the manga volume I’ve read already lol) ,
ないしょのおふたりさま。 ,
MURCIELAGO -ムルシエラゴ- ,
作りたい女と食べたい女 ,
魔女が恋する5秒前 ,
リリー＆アイビー ～ケンカップル百合×性愛アンソロジー～ ,
私は君を泣かせたい , etc
(updated with the natively pages)
as you can see I haven’t filtered out everything yet lmao

which ones?
it makes sense, some were very low key recommendations I got and some I simply reached by myself and they looked interesting
forgot to make a participation list
edit: and then I forget to put a maybe option
if you’re a maybe plz reply so I know you’re there I guess? mainly so I can know who voted and didn’t in polls before I close anything 
edit2: going through the votes from polls compared to here I already know that seanblue is a maybe, and I’m guessing Azusa and cat are as well (until they vote a yes or no lol)

Some possibilities:
Michiru and her toddler son move in with Michiru’s ex-girlfriend Maya after Michiru’s husband’s death. I really like this one - it has a gentle and serious feel, and the question of whether it’s a good idea for Maya and Michiru to get back together isn’t one that can be quickly resolved. (I’ll be honest and say I don’t LOVE the ending, but the first few volumes are very good.)
赤 X ピンク 桜庭一樹 (Not on Natively?)
One of my favorite Japanese authors wrote a novel about a girls’ fight club that apparently at least has lesbian vibes and I’ve seen a few reviews refer to it as “yuri,” so I’ll probably investigate it a little more closely before I officially put it up for a vote (also I might want to go ahead and read it just so I can do content warnings, because when she goes hard on dark content she goes pretty hard on dark content.) Somehow I have never read this! But it might be a good opportunity!

Both look amazing

裏世界ピクニック and 魔女が恋する5秒前, both of which I already own but haven’t read.
Can’t vote since there’s no “maybe” or “it depends” option.

Forgot about the maybe, sorry about that 
I’m a dumbass
umlimited options
I would also be more interested in manga. I don’t really have enough time to commit for novels anytime soon

Yay, GL book club! Definitely interested.
Fellow wanikaners might be aware, but the LGBTQ+/GSRM Book Club is starting はなものがたり… uh, this week apparently it’s supposedly also wlw/GL, if anyone is interested!

Guess I’m gonna have to settle for one of the other dozen things I was looking at

I read the 裏世界ピクニック novel series.
I really liked it but the romance part is really slow, if that’s an issue with anyone.
3 Likes
I would guess that really slow romance can be considered ambiguous 
We’ll see in the nomination polls I guess lol
since there seems to be a preference for manga rn it might not even come up unfortunately

Well, I for one definitely want to read 異世界ピクニック! Love a good slow burn.

Here are a couple recommendations for yuri manga I read and enjoyed (not formal nominations):
- 徒然日和 (series) | L23 - slow burn over the three volumes
- すわっぷ⇔すわっぷ (series) | L22 - a comedy 4-koma. Good if you don’t want or need actual romance.
- 気になってる人が男じゃなかった 1 | L24 - one of my favorite recent reads. Unfortunately there’s just one volume published so far (though new content is posted to Twitter).
And here are some on my plan to read list that I don’t know much about:

I enjoyed that one - it had a clear premise, with realistic characters (meaning they have their faults and make mistakes); I remember some people having mixed opinions about it, but I think it’s a great (not subtext) yuri story.
I did start this one, but dropped it halfway (I think back then due to irregular updates?). It’s a good story, but strong in angst/drama, so you need to be prepared for that before starting.
Love that one.
I haven’t read the rest but I’ll check them sometime; thanks for the recommendations!
