10. My Girlfriend’s Ex-Boyfriend
- Authors: Shinb
- Genres: Yuri
- Volumes: 45
- Published: 2016 – 2017
My Girlfriend’s Ex-Boyfriend isn’t your typical yuri manhwa story. It has a boy in it, for one. When two girls start their new relationship together, one’s ex-boyfriend starts to crash their dates and time together. The new girlfriend has never been one to pry into the history of her partner’s relationships, but she can’t help but be curious this time. Who is this guy? What is up with her girlfriend’s ex? Why won’t he leave them alone...and why is he so friendly? She’s dying to find out the details!
My Girlfriend’s Ex-Boyfriend is a love triangle yuri manhwa. It does heavily feature a boy as well as the two girls, so readers wanting a story just about women should avoid this one. But if you don’t mind a boy getting in on the fun as long as the main relationship is between two girls, don’t miss My Girlfriend’s Ex-Boyfriend! It’s really funny and entertaining to read, has good sex scenes, and a story that you can really get into. You’ll also find yourself curious about the past relationship and how it’s affecting the present and may find yourself surprised along the way.
9. Everyday Lily
- Authors: Gom Mali
- Genres: Yuri
- Volumes: 51
- Published: 2016 – 2017
Everyday Lily is a romance between two college girls. Both are lesbians, but one is more of a realist and worldly than the other. The other is more closeted, and only has experience with 2D art and nothing in real life. When the first comes onto the second, they begin a relationship together full of all the ups, downs, and everything in between of a new relationship in their young adult lives.
Everyday Lily is a yuri manhwa just about anyone can enjoy reading. It’s light-hearted and romantic, a little funny, and full of first experiences. The relationship itself is sweet and can give anyone looking for a typical romance story butterflies. Seeing a first relationship pan out through the eyes of the characters is also very touching. Oh yeah, there’s also sex, and it’s done well, too. If you want a yuri manhwa about a first relationship, Everyday Lily is the one to try. It also has exceptionally cute artwork, and if you’re used to reading Japanese manga, it’s an easy transition into the world of manhwa. Everyday Lily does not have any actual nudity or sex in it, so keep that in mind if that changes your decision in either direction.

When Eunha finds out the truth, she is heartbroken to learn her feelings were not real. The two split ways, never expecting to run into one another again ten years later. But when they do, Siyeon asks Eunha for another chance. Eunha wants to consider the proposal and start over, rebuilding her trust in the other woman, but then even more magic starts to interfere with their lives...
Elixir is a yuri manhwa with a fantasy twist. It takes place in a modern setting, but with the added use of magic! It’s also a romance between two adults in their late 20s, which can be a refreshing thing to read for older audiences used to only having high school love stories.

The company is owned by her ex, Seju, who Sumin somehow always ends up back with no matter how many other partners she bounces between. And Seju is fine with this, determined to keep Sumin for herself in the end. But things get complicated when a new beautiful employee named Seongji joins the team and captivates Sumin entirely. That doesn’t please Seju, who isn’t willing to lose Sumin to this new girl, and their complex love triangle forms.
What Does the Fox Say? is a story about jealousy, and what three girls will do to try to be together with who they want. The story is a bit complicated but delivered well to keep readers interested and on the edge of their seat wondering what will happen next. What Does the Fox Say? is great for Yuri Manhwa fans looking for a romance that isn’t just another light-hearted and fluffy love story. It’s darker than that while remaining believable, and doesn’t mess around with needing any men to keep the story going.
2. Lily Love
- Authors: Ratana Satis
- Genres: Yuri
- Volumes: 32
- Published: 2016 – 2017

What begins as a coincidental meeting turns slowly into a real relationship, full of intimacy, romance, first times, and lifelong memories. Donut and Mew may be from two very different walks of life, but they make their relationship work regardless of anything that comes up to try to tear them down.
Lily Love is a beautiful story and truly a romantic yuri manhwa. For hopeless romantics, this should be your top choice. Lily Love shows how two girls overcome all obstacles to be together and don’t let stigma, distance, or positions in society to hold them back from each other. The sex scenes also feel very intimate and are beautifully illustrated, and it feels more like reading a work of art than a manhwa full of sex - because that’s exactly what it is. Lily Love shouldn’t be missed by any yuri manhwa fans.
1. Pulse
- Authors: Ratana Satis
- Genres: Comedy, Fantasy, Harem
- Volumes: 67
- Published: 2016 – 2017
Pulse is about a young woman named Mel. She’s got her career really going for her as a renowned heart surgeon and is usually quite busy with her work. She does have sex sometimes of course, but never in a real relationship. Mel sees sex as something of a fun deviation from the stress of her job, and never as something that is actually about feelings and attraction. That all changes when Mel finally meets someone special and she begins to question the flippant way that she has always seen sex in the past.
Pulse is a yuri manhwa about how two people can change each other when they’re in a relationship. Neither of the women had any expectations when they started seeing one another, but that all changed for both of them when feelings actually became involved. It’s a good love story about what it means to be in a meaningful and fulfilling relationship and tells its story through two beautiful young women’s romance. It has plenty of sex, both hot and steamy and romantic and full of feeling, to satisfy all your yuri desires.
