Yuri/BL Manga
Interested in checking out dark fantasy BL/yuri? Our staff recommends Lullaby of the Dawn, which won first place in Best Comic category in the 2022 Chill Chill BL Awards, and I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day, which is confirmed to have an anime adaptation.
Lullaby of the Dawn
Night after night, Elva steps forth into the black sea, sword in hand, to drive back the creatures that surge from the waves. Elva is one of the 'kannagi,' warrior priests chosen by the divine to protect the island.
I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day
An orphanage for girls is actually a boot camp, turning out magical child soldiers for a gruesome war. Yet love finds a way to blossom amid bloodshed, in this dramatic, much-anticipated yuri manga that is spiritual kin to the likes of Revolutionary Girl Utena, Otherside Picnic, and Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury.
