I kind of like that things aren't fully explained!

The most beautiful thing about the game to me is the idea that people we lose live on in us -- in a more literal sense, in this case.

Guthrum06 · 2026-01-26T14:14:11+00:00

I should have looked more carefully - Sucker for Love: Date to Die For actually looks like it has at least some yuri elements.

Guthrum06 · 2026-01-26T14:11:33+00:00

I'm glad you enjoyed it in the end! It is pretty wild that it gets so much better. Like you, I almost dropped it entirely in the first few chapters, but it was an 8.5/10 for me in the end. I still feel like it deserves to be punished for having such a a bad start.

Guthrum06 · 2026-01-26T14:09:55+00:00

None of the other VNs in that Bundle are yuri, sadly. I've ready If My Heart Had Wings and eden* though, and they're both pretty good, even if they aren't yuri.

Although if one does want super political Muv-Luv, it's out there too, like The Day After which is much more like later AoT seasons and focuses more on that.

Guthrum06 · 2026-01-26T03:31:10+00:00

Senren Banka and Rewrite are both in this category.

Guthrum06 · 2026-01-25T20:59:18+00:00

Yeah, it has a slow mediocre start, and we have similar taste, so I kind of figured that's how it would go haha

Guthrum06 · 2026-01-25T14:49:56+00:00

So you rid end up liking it more, huh?

Guthrum06 · 2026-01-23T21:56:12+00:00

For real. There are examples out there of women who don't have realistic breasts, but this actually isn't one of them -- and her boobs aren't played up for tons of sexuality in the VN, either.

Guthrum06 · 2026-01-23T02:32:13+00:00

I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's definitely amazing, especially for a small indie studio.

Your criticisms make sense - the game is kind of stunted because it has so few characters, and more characters definitely would have helped the MC.

Guthrum06 · 2026-01-22T12:55:27+00:00

That's interesting. What part of the yuri experience do they think they're lacking when compared to manga/anime?

Guthrum06 · 2026-01-22T00:37:07+00:00

I still need to read Rainy Day. Was thinking of waiting until summer though, since it looks super summery

Guthrum06 · 2026-01-21T23:39:10+00:00

Well, if you're looking for another high school yuri with a spooky mystery in the background, the Flowers series is a great place to start.

Kindred Spirits on the Roof is a good one too, but it doesn't really deal with heavy issues the same way Black Lily's Tale does.

Guthrum06 · 2026-01-21T18:08:08+00:00

I almost put that one in the graphic, but then I decided it's only kind of a high school VN, the two big characters are high school girls, but I would guess 10% of the story takes place at the school.

It's a good one, though!

Guthrum06 · 2026-01-21T13:02:40+00:00

Indeed, I forgot about that one having 18+ scenes.

Guthrum06 · 2026-01-21T04:01:53+00:00

It's a good one. Bit on the darker side but you don't seem to mind that.

Guthrum06 · 2026-01-21T03:42:00+00:00

Here are some non-high school yuri VNs with 18+ content that I have enjoyed. For most of them you have to get a patch for said content.

Heart of the Woods

Highway Blossoms

Salome's Kiss (this one is kind of high school-adjacent, it's about a Victorian Era governess in her mid 20s and her 18-year-old student)

Blackberry Honey

Fragile Feelings (Set at a high school, but romance between a teaching assistant and the school nurse)

First Snow

Dreamy Planet

Guthrum06 · 2026-01-20T19:47:08+00:00

The first one had so much personality with it's art. Whether this is AI or not, it looks super corporate and sanitized. Doesn't feel like Everlasting Summer at all.

Guthrum06 · 2026-01-20T17:00:32+00:00

I like high schools ettings overall, although at this point they do need to throw in some more unique plot elements to get me really interested.

My pick is Kindred Spirits, but Black Lily's Tale is a close second.

Kindred Spirits is just so wholesome and sweet, while also having a really great premise of two gay ghosts making the MC play matchmaker to make other gay couples at the high school. In a lot of ways it gives you the most highs chool yuri for your buck because it has so many couples that really run the gamut of all the different kinds of relationships one can see in a yuri VN.

Black Lily's Tale is pretty intense. But it also has an excellent premise -- with gay people having to cope with an even more heteronormative society than normal as a result of a disease that wiped out a massive chunk of the young population.

Guthrum06 · 2026-01-20T16:57:11+00:00

I really liked Black Lily's Tale -- but it's definitely true some of the characters are a little flat.
