Yuri Network News – (百合ネットワークニュース) – May 9, 2015

May 9th, 2015

YNN_MariKEvents

If you’re in the Toronto area, this weekend is the exceptional and always exciting Toronto Comic Arts Festival. Loads of manga and LGBTQ-friendly content and programming and admission to the event itself is free (some programming may have registration or costs associated, so check the program.)

June 6th will see a Yuru Yuri Field Day event in Japan in Hibiya.

I’ve got a lot to think about after Queer & Comics, but I hope to have a report for you tomorrow.

Other News

Tokyo Wrestling’s Yuki Keiser has put together an article for Time Out Tokyo of 10 LGBTQ-friendly places in Tokyo. I get this question from time to time and can’t really answer it, so I’m thrilled to have this article to point to. The article is in Japanese, but you can always look the names up on Google Maps (and use Google translate features to make your way through the article.)

I haven’t had a moment to watch any of it, but Wish Upon the Pleiades, the collaboration between Subaru car company and Gainax is streaming on Crunchyroll. It had, I thought, room for Yuri, but we’ll see when I finally watch it. ^_^

 

Yuri Webcomics

From YNN Correspondent Feifei W., a lovely little Chinese Yuri webcomic, 麻杆和大奶. Feifei commented that she loves the fact that it’s all portrayed as normal everyday life. Of course so do I. ^_^

YNN correspondent Celes R suggested this sweet tale of two lovers through their lives together by Pixiv user Tsubakin ◎の「セイ」, which she translates as “Born This Way.”

Yuri Manga

ANN Reports that the Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Movie -Rebellion-, Vol. 1 manga has been pushed back to December.

If I recall correctly, and it’s been a long time, so I may not, somewhere tucked into Seven Seas’ new license Franken Fran, there’s some Yuri.

Yuricon Store

We are approaching the end of Phase 1 on the new Yuricon Store, in which I backfill all the Yuri from past years that is still available. It’s slow work (and full of decisions like “there’s 1 copy left of this on Amazon JP, do I bother listing it?) but we’re getting there!

If you want a quick bookmark or feed to check to see what we’ve recently added, thanks to our beloved and talented webmaster, Lissa Pattillo, you can now do that easily: http://www.yuricon.com/store/new/ is text only, but you’ll be able to see quickly what was added.

Know some cool Yuri News you want people to know about? Become a Yuri Network Correspondent by sending me any Yuri-related news you find. Emails go to anilesbocon01 at hotmail dot com. Not to the comments here, please, or they might be forgotten or missed. There’s a reason for this madness. This way I know you are a real human, not Anonymous (which I do not encourage – stand by your words with your name!) and I can send you a YNN correspondent’s badge.

Thanks to all of you – you make this a great Yuri Network!

    Hey Erica,

    I was wondering if you’d be willing to review this korean webtoon that’s now been adapted/translated into Japanese. You’ve talked about it before but I think a full review would be great. I’d love to hear your opinions on a yuri work outside of japan

    • Review? Probably not, because I only tend to review things that have been published, but I’m always glad to share the news – as long as this is a legit translation. ^_^
