This Lesbian's Guide to Anime
and Manga
by P. Kristen Enos
(Updated March 8, 2010.)
Introduction:
For you long time
readers: Yes, my most popular website is back!
For you newbies:
The original version of TLGAM was actively
maintained from 2001 to 2003. However, even
though I wasn't able to regularly add to it, I could
tell by the constant hit counts that the information
was a valuable resource to many people.
And now that I have
my own website, it just makes sense to bring it back
with a vengeance. Especially since
circumstances are so different this time around.
Back then, anime and
manga was on the rise and people were learning about
material as well as the art forms. Now, anime
and manga is (by all standards) suffering from... A
LOT of bad things. So it's even more important
to know the good stuff from the crap.
Especially if you have limited funds and interests.
However, as you can
tell by all of the other writing projects I have to
juggle, I need to streamline the focus for items
that I will review:
1. U.S.
releases only (which was my original rule anyway)
2. Only items
that have some sort of content or promise that's gay
and lesbian (yuri) related.
So here are the
refresher pages for more details that were
originally written in 2001 and that I've updated as
needed.

Beginners 102:

Yes, I've added
placeholder titles for works that I think are worth
commenting on. If I'm missing a series that
you think is worth lesbian/gay analysis, please send
me an email and I'll look into it.

Listing a series does not mean my pending
comments will be positive!
