While I was in Japan last month, reporter Shiina Yukari-san from Animeanime (like an ANN of Japan) and her editor Sudo-san sat down with me for a few hours over ice cream and macaroons and we discussed, oh, everything about manga and Yuri and the sea changes we’ve seen in the past decade…and where we’re heading.

The interview is now up. It’s in 3 parts and it’s in Japanese, but here it is for your reading pleasure:

「アメリカでYURIマンガ専門出版社を立ち上げたエリカ・フリードマン氏インタビュー」

Part 1: 前編

Part 2: 中編
