Yuri Manga
Yuri Hime Comics is releasing Rakuji Tarahi’s Nijiiro Secret (にじいろシークレット) this week.
Later this month, I’m surprised and a little excited to see Volume 5 of Himawari-san (ひまわりさん), a series in which nothing happens and, like the Talking Heads’ Heaven, who knew that nothing could be so exciting?
Next month we’ll see a collection, Cider to Nakimushi, by Kanno, the creator of Anoko ni Kiss to Shirayuri wo (缶乃作品集) and the fourth volume of Tsuki to Sekai to Etoile (月と世界とエトワール).
Next month will also see Tono’s Pink Rush (ピンク・ラッシュ) from Hirari magazine. Also from Hirari is Komura Youko’s Hontou no Kanojo (ほんとのかのじょ ).
A little creepy-looking, but out this month is Hana to Uso to Makoto (花と嘘とマコト).
Komatsu-san at Crunchyroll News reports that Shimura Takako plans on releasing 8 books in 5 months! This will include Awajima Hyakkei (淡島百景) which we reported on last week. ^_^

Yuri on JP Kindle
There’s a lot of material popping up on JP Kindle. Frustratingly, those of us without JP IP addresses cannot access them. As a result, I’m not adding them to the Yuricon Shop just yet. Here is a small selection, in Japanese:
まんがで綴る百合な日々 おためし無料版 女×女のバカップル同棲日記
女性カップルで感じ合う最高のセックス 未経験の快楽にハマる百合娘12人のレズビアン事情
As with Amazon.com Kindle, the quality of writing and formatting will be variable, but if you have a JP-enabled Kindle and pick any of these or others up, consider writing us a review!

Other News
Happy Black History Month! Here’s 100+ LGBTQ Black Women You Should Know from Autostraddle.
It’s a fairly blatant bit pandering, The Hoopers, an all-girl idol group who dress “like boys” (you know, in pants) is launching in Japan. As boys they don’t work, as girls in suits, they work just fine.^_^
And let’s finish off this week with this Complex.com article – Wonder Women: How Female Characters and Creators Are Battling to Make Comics Better.
