Sylphid
An incredibly heartwarming show about girls finding friendship, love, and self-acceptance while in their formative years of high school. The author possesses a remarkable ability to make even the most minor of characters in the show have a lot of character in their mannerisms, to say nothing of the primary cast. What on the surface might appear to be a typical high-school anime is anything but. It is a very serious show that grapples with the emotional intensity of girls who are not quite adults coming to understand themselves and the world around them. Relationships are gained, lost, and become more serious as each character matures over the course of the series.
For yuri from a uniquely female perspective, it is hard to go wrong. Very highly recommended.
