That usually sucks, the art isn't attractive, the women are sexualized to a laughable degree and it's clearly aimed at men (and I am a gay woman, not a straight man).
I'd like to see or read something where the relationship between two girls is important and plot-relevant, but relationship drama isn't the entire plot. Where there's at least a few tasteful (not porn-style) sex scenes. Where the whole thing isn't ridiculous Class S relationships and a bunch of snooty ojou-samas daintily kissing junior girls on the mouth, but there's a real love between the characters.
The sad thing is I'm probably not going to get this until I actually finish writing my novel.

you might want to read
Octave if you haven't already. (B-U
Link)
it deals with a female character as she explores her goals, her ambitions, her own sexuality and sexual orientation. it has bits of drama and social commentary (as she tries to hide her orientation, or as she faces disapproval). and yes, she has sex with another female, which whom she shares an adult relationship. you might want to give it try. I get the feeling you might like it.
edit: let me read your novel when you finish.
