Tsubomi
Description
Was a bi-monthly yuri anthology published by Houbunsha.
The magazine started in 2009 and ran until 2012, sitting right at that point in yuri manga history where creators turned away from the pure, hierarchical, class S romances of earlier yuri toward the variety of yuri stories of today. It ran alongside Yuri Hime and the now also defunct Comic Hirari and stood in stark contrast to shoujo and josei romances of the day.
Its short run produced a number of classic yuri manga, including Higashiyama Shou's Prism, Arata Iri's Comprehensive Tovarisch, Notes from the Garden of Lillies, Kurogane Ken's Hoshikawa Ginza District, and Morinaga Milk's The Secret Recipe. Apart from the classics, the magazine included all sorts of, at the time, genre-defying yuri, including historical works, coworker, college, giant robot, and adult life stories, bi characters that weren't a toxic mess, and enough angst and drama to fuel the genre for a decade!
**Note: Several chapters from the anthology are published separately in other mangas. Please use the Related tab to see if the chapter you are looking for is in a separate manga item.**
