But if we're talking about adult ladies in manga, we have to talk about yuri. It continued to thrive and grow as a category here, so much so that it hard to settle on just one to talk about. Ultimately I had to go with the best yuri title (in the most literal sense of that phrase) to come out in 2022.
CATCH THESE HANDS! (Watashi no Kobushi wo Uketomete!), by murata. First published in 2018 and first published in North America in 2022.
PLOT:
Takabe was once the most fearless delinquent at her school, but years later all her old friends have settled down and Takabe is tired of bouncing from job to job and feeling left behind. When she tries to get some new clothes, she runs into her formal rival Soramori. Soramori couldn't be happier to be reunited with the girl she never saw as a rival but instead a crush. Eventually Soramori issues her own challenge: if she can beat Takabe in a fight, Takabe has to go out with her! She wins, but now they both have to figure out how this whole dating thing works...
