Yuri Visual Novels
You may remember a few months ago I tried to play the stylish Visual Novel mystery game Black Closet. (Tried to play. I didn’t get far) from Hanako Games. They have released a second Yuri VN, A Little Lily Princess – based on the classic Victorian girl’s novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess. The game is available for Windows, Mac and Linux and is on Steam, so they have you covered. We’ll have a review soonish here. ^_^
Via Senior YNN Correspondent Elizabeth F, Sekai Project has just launched a new Yuri VN called Love, Guitars and Nashville. I’m going to give it this – it looks unique. Check out the trailer on Youtube. (Sekai Project apparently also did Ne no Kami, another Yuri VN.)
AND MangaGamer is releasing Kindred Spirits – Drama CD, Friendship Plans. You know, I’m getting this. I liked the characters.
Yuri Anime
CLAMP’s series Card Captor Sakura is getting a new anime to go with the new manga series. ANN has the scoop.
Scott Green at Crunchyroll news reports on Azumanga Daioh‘s shiny new box set release in Japan. There was a time when I would have said the chances of us getting it are slim Now, I say, wait. I bet someone picks it up.

Yuri Manga
ANN reports that mahjong manga with Yuri-ish tones, Saki, is getting another spinoff, Toki.It’s quite extraordinary to me that Saki is still going now at 15 volumes.

Thanks to all of you – you make this a great Yuri Network!
Apologies for being super nitpicky here Erica, but Sekai Project is strictly a publisher. “Love, Guitars and the Nashville Skyline” is by Cosmillica, whose other translated yuri VN “Atom Grrrl!!” or their translated-but-physical-copy-only yuri VN “Dahlia” are more of an indication of their quality than looking at Sekai Project’s catalogue. Similarly, Kuro Irodoru Yomiji is behind Ne no Kami and Sacrement Sheep (also released under Sekai), so you can look at them to see what they might be like.
Thanks for the comment. It wasn’t so much a comment on quality as a “oh, here’s another thing they list.” I wasn’t making any judgement.
