Yuri Manga

Loads of new titles for us today!

Kase-san and Apron, the 4th volume of Takashima Hiromi’s adorable high school Yuri romance, hits shelves in February.

Also available in late February is Kiss and White Lily For My Dearest Girl, Volume 5.

Fan’s of Canno’s work, will be pleased to hear that a third Eclair anthology is being published this month in Japan. Eclair bleue – Anata ni Hibiku Yuri Anthology (エクレア bleue あなたに響く百合アンソロジー) has a release date this week.

I’m not entirely sure how Yuri Hagino Makoto’s story, Nettaigyo ha Yuki ni Kogareru  (熱帯魚は雪に焦がれる) is, but a lonely clumsy girl falling in love with a snow girl sounds like it’s in our wheelhouse. As does Yukio Yuki’s Mabataki Dekinai ( 瞬きできない) in which a NPC falls in love with a player character.

And I am more than a little interested in Yubisakikara Suberiochiru Valetta (指先から滑り落ちるバレッタ), even though it looks a tad grim. ^_^ A girl blackmails another girl into being her “friend.” Yeah, uh-huh.

BE Comics, from a publisher I am wholly unfamilar with, Fusion Product, is putting out Yuri + Kanojou (百合+カノジョ) and I have no idea what to expect.

Rap-battle sport-manga-like story, Catcher in the Rhyme (キャッチャー・イン・ザ・ライム) has been collected into a first volume. So has the ambiguously promising Kuroyuri Gakuen Oooku Gakka (クロユリ学園大奥学科)  (by Young King comics, so don’t get your hopes up!) with a Volume 2 coming up next month.

Other News

This is an absolute must-read: Vrai Kaiser’s article on Anime FeministLand of the Lustrous, singular “they,” and the politics of subtitles.

Justin Sevakis takes on the big question as Answerman on ANN – Why is Anime Still region Locked?

The Seijinshiki is a annual ceremony marking a Japanese person’s majority. The Kansai LGBT Seijinshiki recognizes you as the adult you are and who you want to be. This year’s event, held in Kyoto, with celebrity guests, will be held on January 21.

    I didn’t realize there was a second Eclair Anthology, never mind a third! I have the first one’s english translation preordered, do you think they’ll end up licensing all the second and third one?

  2. Nettaigyo ha Yuki ni Kogareru – caught my eye as well. Haven’t read it all the way through but so farI like the coastal town setting and the way the characters have been introduced. “A tropical fish yearns for snow” is such a poetic and intriguing title too.

    Not really news but happy to report that Assagoa to Kase-san cinema tickets have started selling. At one more theatre than previously listed.

    ANN also reported the other day that Undon confirmed that they’re still working on Rose of Versailles which made me very happy. They said they’ve got about 80% of entire series translated. No official release date though
    Don’t know if anyone’s interested but I stumbled on a cute yuri themed comic on webtoon app called “Mage & Demon Queen” about a Mage in an RPG style world who’s hopelessly in love with the demon queen who resides at the top of a tower full of demons. She’s the final boss but Malori does want to kill her but date her. It’s a fun light read.
