Just like our Yuri Anime 2013, Yuri Anime 2014, Yuri Anime 2015, Yuri Anime 2016, and Yuri Anime 2017 lists, this one will also feature all the yuri shows that will air in 2018. Since it’s not even 2018 yet, this list is still in progress and will be updated whenever there are new shows to add. If you feel like we missed something, feel free to name your additions~

Description: Fashionable Yuzu imagined the first day at her new school she transferred to after her mother’s remarriage a bit differently; she didn’t know it’d be an ultra-strict and conservative girls’ school. So instead of a sweet high-school romance, she butts heads with the stern student council president Mei – who turns out to be her new step sister. And she has to learn that hate and love are often not that far apart.
Description: The daily life of up-and-coming female mangaka living together in a dormitory.
Description: High-schooler Matsuzaka Satou has a reputation for being easy, but one day her lifestyle of sleeping with one boy after another comes to an end. It happens when she meets the child Shio, for whom she is convinced she feels true love for the first time. Satou may seem sweet and innocent, but there is nothing she won’t do to protect their life together, including committing murder. But from where did she acquire the little girl, and how long can their “Happy Sugar Life” together last?
Description: Hibike! Euphonium Movie: 2-nensei ni Natta Kumiko-tachi will tell the story of Kumiko Oumae and others as second-year students.
Description: The second and final part of the Nanoha Reflection Project, it is the direct sequel to 2017’s Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha: Reflection movie.
Description: Koizumi is a mysterious and attractive high school student. But what most people don’t know about her is that she’s a ramen master who is always on the lookout for great ramen restaurants. Everyday, she goes hunting for real-life places serving the best ramen dishes and delightfully eats the delicious noodles. The way Koizumi downs a giant bowl of ramen–more adeptly than any large man—will amaze and delight you!
Description: Hana Ichinose is a normal 16-year-old high school student. However, there is something different about her: She enrolled in high school one year late! Her classmates are unaware of this, and Hana will have to work hard to catch up with everyone else.
Description: Filled with an overwhelming sense of wonder for the world around her, Mari Tamaki has always dreamt of what lies beyond the reaches of the universe. However, despite harboring such large aspirations on the inside, her fear of the unknown and anxiety over her own possible limitations have always held her back from chasing them. But now, in her second year of high school, Mari is more determined than ever to not let any more of her youth go to waste. Still, her fear continues to prevent her from taking that ambitious step forward—that is, until she has a chance encounter with a girl who has grand dreams of her own.
Spurred by her mother’s disappearance, Shirase Kobuchizawa has been working hard to fund her trip to Antarctica. Despite facing doubt and ridicule from virtually everyone, Shirase is determined to embark on this expedition to search for her mother in a place further than the universe itself. Inspired by Shirase’s resolve, Mari jumps at the chance to join her. Soon, their efforts attract the attention of the bubbly Hinata Miyake, who is eager to stand out, and Yuzuki Shiraishi, a polite girl from a high class background. Together, they set sail toward the frozen south.
Sora yori mo Tooi Basho follows the captivating journey of four spirited girls, all in search of something great.

Second season of Amanchu! is the one I’m most waiting for. I’m hyped for Citrus as well, but I loved the first season of Amanchu!, and can’t wait for the new season. I REALLY hope they would make Futaba x Hikari canon, you don’t even need yuri goggles to see that pair, but some actual confirmation would be great!

Well, it’s (hopefully) gonna be the year of yuri, so why not get our hopes up for more canon pairings too? It only seems fitting~

As hyped as I am for Detonation, I really do hope that its first part Nanoha Reflection comes out soon…
I think there’s going to be a lot of other things throughout the year to keep our eyes on as well, but even without any huge surprises there’s going to be a pretty damn good year for yuri!

Citrus deserves a yuri rating of 8-10. I just watched the first episode. It sure will be the best yuri anime of 2018. waiting for the 2nd episode. will check Tachibanakan Triangle and Amachu 2nd season too

Yeah, we’ll see about that, though since it’s a full yuri show I guess 10/10 would work too.

Watched all of citrus and I would give it a 10/10
Yuri Camp a 4/10 (good anime, but light on the Yuri)
The Ramen one a 3/10
Slow Start a 6/10
Tach Triangle a 10/10 (though the 3 min long episodes don’t do the manga justice)
and Comic Girls a 5/10 to a 6/10 so far..

Sora Yori mo Tooi Basho is my favorite show of the season so far. It has a lot of potential, not only am i immersed in the show so far with its beautiful sceneries and simple yet charming plot. But i also think it has a lot of potential for some yuri as well.

I can see some potential in a lot of shows this season, which is nice.
Still have to check that one out though~

That drawing of Kantai Collection was made by Nakatani, right? I almost got excited because I’d totally watch an archery anime with yuri romance but then I realized (through elimination) that it’s just Kantai Collection.

Lol..I also just stumbled across one called “Slow Start” and binge-watched all 7 episodes. I definitely seems like a Yuri to me (or at least 3 of the 5 main characters fall into that profile), but I’ll let you be the judge. It’s way better than that Ramen one in my opinion (you see one episode of that and you’ve seen them all)! https://youtu.be/BI30GN2xZR8
