I’m running a bit behind now on Galette magazine. I blame the fact that we have so much amazing Yuri and LGBTQ manga and media this year that I’m having trouble keeping up with just the stuff that comes out in English, much less all of it from Japan. It’s a pretty great problem to have, but I want to make time to review Galette, No. 6 (ガレット) before Galette,No. 7 gets old. ^_^

“Philia to Eros no Aida” by Yorita Miyuki seems to be coming close to a finish, unless some new drama rears its head.

Hakamada Mera’s “Fuwafuwa Futashika Yumemitai” has hit the perfect middle ground for this creator and she’s really in her sweet spot of characters feeling feelings that include physical attraction, admiration, and companionship.

Ito has a story about heavy girl finding some one who likes her for her in “Saikau ni Saku.”

Morishima Akiko takes a Yuri story to the one location no one would ever expect it to be set in this chapter of “Motto Hanjuku Joshi,” as Chitose and Yae visit a boy’s school. ^_^

In Takemiya Jin’s “Watashi no Unmei no Hito” an Omega propose to a Beta, and everyone seems okay with that…until she meets an Alpha.

“Toma-kun” by Amano Shuninta gives Toma-kun a rival, but it’s hard to be a rival when the other person makes you swoon. 

And, in Kitta Izumi and Momono Mono’s “Liberty” we find out just why Liz reacts the way she did over the earrings…but it doesn’t excuse her at all. 

This issue has some lovely photographs and more color pages than ever before.  This only downside to this entire volume is that the new soy ink smells like, well, soybeans. I mean, good it didn’t catch in my throat the way soy ink usually does, but the you can always tell what room this magazine is in. ^_^;

Other than this one thing, No. 6 is once again a book chock full of Yuri manga by Yuri creators for anyone who loves Yuri!
