100 Years of Yuri at Toronto Comic Arts Festival!

April 4th, 2019

This week, you can listen to the me talk 100 Years of Yuri with the fine folks at Anime World Order. Check out Anime World Order Show # 173 – 100 Years of Yuri with Most Dangerous Erica Friedman, Yuri Bodhisattva. We’ll be talking about the Asagao to Kase-san movie.

We timed that beautifully, because Toronto Comic Arts Festival, May 11-12, 2019 in Toronto, Ontario, announced that Kase-san creator Takashima Hiromi will be a guest at TCAF and I’ll be talking with her about Kase-san and Yuri!  I am so impossibly excited, I can barely stand it. ^_^

I’ll be presenting a talk at the Japan Foundation during TCAF on 100 Years of Yuri, as well. TBA on that.

AND, I’m curating a 100 Years of Yuri exhibition in the Gallery Display at Page & Panel in the Toronto Reference Library! These are objects out of my personal library – some of these  items have not been out of the house since the Yurisai event Yuricon ran in in 2007.

TCAF is open to the public, there is no admission fee. There will be a ton of awesome panels and workshops and so, so many terrific comic artists and books to read and buy.

Thanks ever so much to Jocelyne Allen and all the fantastic people at Seven Seas and TCAF for helping make this a reality. I cannot think of a better place and a better group to  kick this celebration into high gear.

I hope you’ll join me at this terrific comic event and help me celebrate 100 Years of Yuri!

    I enjoyed listening to your remarks on the Anime World Order podcast. Your enthusiasm for Kase-san came through loud and clear.
