Hey,

I recently read a manga called Indigo blue. Completely loved the slice of life/josei side of it. Is there anything to similar to this manga. Mainly Yuri. Nothing else with themes of josei in it.
Thanks

You should check out that mangaka's other series as well. Indigo Blue was good, but imo Love My Life was even better, and Sweet Lovin' Baby was also pretty nice. There's more, so take a look at the josei+yuri titles on her author page.

Pieta is lovely, but it's not yuri, just shoujo-ai.

Blue and Philosophia, if you don't require a happy ending.

Honey & Honey -- More of a documentary about the lesbian author's life and experiences, but as a result the most realistic a manga can get.

Plica -- I personally didn't like this, but it's one of the go-to titles for slice-of-life yuri.

Aoi Hana -- Another popular slice-of-life josei GL, though I didn't finish reading it myself.

Another mangaka who writes slice-of-life yuri is Morishima Akiko. I can personally only recommend Ruriiro no Yume, Rakuen no Jouken and Hanjuku Joshi, but some of her other titles are probably worth a shot as well. That being said, none of them are strictly josei, since most of them were published in Yuri Hime, which doesn't have a demographic.

Octave is seinen, not josei, but I'd still recommend it if you're looking for something more true-to-life. It doesn't have the gross male-eye-catching art that most male-oriented GL have anyway.
