Yuri is anime that's focused on relationships between two female characters. This can include anything from cute and romantic stories known as shojo ai to steamy and explicit hentai series. Yuri is one of the only places where LGBTQ+ relationships take center stage. While it can occasionally include tropes that aren't reflective of gay people in the real world, it's still great to see same-sex love flourish in the anime world. Let's take a moment to celebrate a few of these wonderful yuri couples.

Who are the best yuri anime couples? That depends on what you like in your romance. If you like wholesome, loving couples, you'll probably be delighted by Tomoka and Yui of Asagao to Kase-san, If you prefer your relationships a little more messed up, you might prefer Mei and Yuzu from Citrus. While these couples are all quite different, all of them are interesting in their own way - and most of them are couples that you want to see succeed.
