Like Bloom Into You is cute, but the anime literally just up and ends halfway through the story with no conclusion or even climax to the story (yes, I went and read the manga afterwards and the complete story was good, particularly in how it reached a point where the characters all realized how silly the central driving internal conflicts of the first half were), and when I look at relevant MAL stacks it's like "these aren't bait - well ok this one is, and that was is, but uh..." or "alright so it's an incestuous loli story but..." and all I can think is kind-vladimir-ilyich so this is basically the only place I trust to ask.

Side question, is there anywhere I can actually find translated light novels that's better than nyaa.si? Because as consistent as that's been there's still occasionally things like the Bloom Into You spinoff that's either not there or not complete.

    yuri is a heavilly abandonned genre in anime. there are a couple of series that are not bait but they either very badly adapted, incomplete or controversial. sadly, most of the series that get near yuri are either bait or pseudo-bait because they will never adapt more than the beginning. there are some good shows but there are too few so I expect there are already somewhere in the thread.

    that is the main reason I stopped expecting to watch good yuri ever and I jumped to manga (altough I watched all bait shows this season with great dissapointment). even if not everything there is great, at least there are lots of works that address queer topics with different points of views and conclussions.
