Yuri Manga
Michiru and Maya are at a breaking point. Will they part forever or find something to keep them together? Find out in Ohana Holo Holo, Volume 4. (オハナホロホロ)
The story of two girls, their cameras and burgeoning feelings continues in Kanoujo to Camera to Kanjoujo no Kisetsu. The first volume of this was surprisingly good. (彼女とカメラと彼女の季節)
Tsubomi (つぼみ), Volume 21 hits shelves in December. I’m still kind of amazed that this anthology has survived and here it is heading into its 5th year!
Hayate x Blade (はやて×ブレード 17), Volume 17 also graces our lives in December and we are that much the better for it. ^_^
No more Yuri than it ever was, but FYI Hidamari Sketch, Volume 7 (ひだまりスケッチ) also has a December street date.
And one last “that’s still on going?” for us, Morita-san ha Mukuchi Volume 6 (森田さんは無口) came out this week. 6 volumes of one joke – admittedly funny volumes, but wow.
Ohzawa Amane’s shorts for Hirari Magazine have been collected into Kano x Kano (彼女×彼女カノカノ).

That’s a wrap for this week!
