8. Akuma no Riddle (2014)

The anime adaptation of Akuma no Riddle may not deliver as much yuri content as the manga, but it’s still a solid watch. The plot is badass and full of thrilling moments. I recommend watching the anime first and then diving into the manga for more yuri goodness.

Rating: 8/10 (for the anime)

9. Sasameki Koto (2009)

As much as I love Sasameki Koto, it pains me to say that the anime falls short of capturing the essence of the manga. However, I still believe it’s worth a watch. To truly experience the full strength of the yuri in this series, I highly recommend reading the entire manga.

Rating: 7/10 (for the anime)

10. Aoi Hana (2009)

Aoi Hana is another anime that didn’t quite do justice to its manga counterpart. However, it does contain yuri elements that fans will appreciate. My suggestion is to watch the anime first and then indulge in the complete manga series for a more fulfilling yuri experience.

Rating: 6.5/10
