WLW/Lesbian Anime - A Running Tally - Sunspot - 07-13-2026
I'm a big fan of Yuri/WLW/Lesbian Anime, and I'll even tolerate some slop for it. But it'd be nice if one need not tolerate slop, so! I figure I'll post about it.
The Magical Revolution The Reincarnated Princess and The Genius Young Lady- A story about a princess born to a kingdom in which the mark of nobility is the ability to use magic... without the ability to use magic. Objectively a very gay story about how the princess navigates a world that spurns her for her inability to use magic, instead deciding to become an eccentric researcher to find ways to put magic in the hands of ordinary people. Explicitly she's not interested in men, only has interest in women, which, at least to begin with is no problem, as there are no political marriages to be had for a useless princess. To help ensure this never comes up, she renounces her eligibility for the crown. Features a bunch of eccentric ladies. Is TECHNICALLY an isekai, but this is not really actually explored, except insofar as "our protagonist has memories of a world where magic was just a fantasy, so of course she'd be in love with a world where it's real."
Last Witch Izetta- What if the princess of (not-Hungary) and the last witch in existence teamed up to fight NAZIS and win Not-World-War-2? Aggressively gay, though never acknowledged in words. The narrative, on the other hand... Acknowledges it quite prominently. CW: It's a story about war, and is actually somewhat brutal in that regard at times.
Lycoris Recoil- Hideo Kojima was tweeting about this one! "What if we took young women detached from the system in Modern Japan, and raised them to be elite assassins and spies dedicated to keeping the social order from the shadows!" A story about two very broken young women, one of whom has made progress towards "becoming a real person again," and another who... needs that help. Not explicitly gay, but... also very, very gay. Contains some criticism of the Japanese myth of "cleaner, nicer, neater society, because we're just built different! We have no crime or disorder!" (Actually enforced by special-forces orphans.) Has some blood and violence and plenty of guns. Is actually a very silly fluffy story.
I know there's more, but I can't think of any else right now, so I'll add more as I think on it.
