I'm realizing now I could have just put this in the starter comment because here, femslashy anime and manga doesn't need to be a subthread of anime and manga!

Anyway, what are your favorite canon or shippy pairings in anime and manga, or favorite femslashy anime and manga? I need recs! Here are some of mine:

Rose of Versailles (love it more for Oscar as a character than for Oscar/Marie and Oscar/Rosalie, but they are certainly superior to the het ships in the show, and any f/f ship with a female knight type character is going to be my jam) - starts off campy, but is surprisingly engaging and historically detailed
Princess Principal (Charlotte/Ange) - this is so good! Steampunk spies!
Simoun (Neviril/Aeru) - another one that's good as a show in general besides having great f/f pairings.

Also watched: Revolutionary Girl Utena (I like the show but maybe I need to rewatch it to get more into Utena/Anthy properly), Puella Magi Madoka Magica (Homura/Madoka is a classic!), Izetta the Last Witch (love the loyalty kink between Finé and Izetta, but I like Finé more than Izetta). Magical Girl Raising Project has a canon lesbian couple in a supporting role but I would have preferred a more intense f/f or femslashy relationship with the lead.

I've, er, never actually watched Sailor Moon. I know I should! Noir is also on my list as soon as the fucking watching group I'm in can get our schedules together. Manga-wise, I have Hana no Kishi and am pretty sure I will love it, but haven't started it yet. Also have Secret of the Princess, but am not a huge slice of life person, is it good?

Oh and Kashima Yuu should be with all the ladies
