Pride Month may end with June, but for those involved with the LGBTQ+ community, it never goes away. This month, a spotlight has been shown on media across the globe that brings LGBTQ+ content to life, and now a new poll from Japan is joining in. After all, Anime! Anime! just posted the results of its most recent poll, and it reveals which yuri anime titles fans love the most.
According to the report, more than 700 respondents across Japan answered the poll as they ranked their favorite yuri titles. The genre, which is sometimes known as GL, puts a focus on romance between women. These days, it seems there is lots of love for Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury, but some throwback titles also made the cut for this poll.
