Oh nono no need to apologize! Spontenaity is important to have! 
Ughhhh why do I always see these way to late to join :( gotta be even more online i guess
I really liked The Wandering Village, which I think is from this last year. It didnt do anything particularly wow but i lost so many hours to it, its just really fun and sweet.
One thing i thought of was the usage of fanservice in reference to patriarchy. Its been a while but if i remember right the majority of the explicit fanservice comes directly after the court (patriarchy) grants yuri approval, and to me seems to be pointing very explicitly at what kind of lesbian relationships are allowed to be visible by patriarchy. You are only allowed to pursue love if it is sexy to the male gaze.
Also, im not so sure about your analysis of kurehas mom and yuriika. The manga has yuriika very clearly in love, but taking a backseat and allowing ginkos mother to pursue her. Ginkos mother doesnt appear in the anime, but she bears a striking resemblance to the person who put yuriika in a box, and in the manga that kinda characterizes their relationship (until the end). Also i think she is mistaken for a beautiful man in the manga, and in the anime the person who put yuriika in a box is refered to as he/him.
Overall the manga is a lot less ambiguous, but tells a bit of a different story.
I think this may be the ~~original~~ not at all the original and just an earlier version?
