Comic Yuri Hime October 2018 (コミック百合姫2018年10月号) starts with a cover embued with picturesque peace and calm, as the recent series of covers have been detailing the daily experiences of a pleasant Yuri couple. This month (which is labeled October, but shipped in August) shows them at the beach. This is followed in the front pages by a bloody horror comic. I don’t mind the blood, I do mind the mental instability tied with Yuri. That’s pretty last century. 

In “2 DK, G Pen, Mezamashitokei” Kaede and Nanami are both lost at sea, suffering from what I call “Jondalar Syndrome.” All they need to do is talk, but. Koyuki’s sick to death of them, and I kind of sympathize with her.

Anna is walking around, pondering the meaning of life as an  android in “ROID” whenshe’s discovered by…someone….who seems to know who and what she is.

Takemiya Jin is back! With “Itoshi Koishi,” a young woman comes to understand love.

In “Goodbye Dystopia” Miyuki is starting to think about someone other than herself for, as far as we know, the first time.

New story “Ririshitoshite Karenna Hana no You ni” began and I have so much hope for it, it looks totally up my alley, but for the first time I can ever recall, the art put me completely off. It’s really not good.

Sumika is still determined to sake Kanako from herself in “Watashi no Yuri ha Oshigoto Desu!”

My new favorite  story “Hayama-sensei to Terano-sensei ha Tsukiatteiru” is delightful, as Hayama-sensei is interrogated by her students in a way that sounds exactly right for young women. ^_^ The actual plot conflict is stupid, but the teachers are adorable together.

And Citrus ends. With a wedding. But I’ve talked about that on last week’s YNN podcast. I’ve got nothing more to say, except Mei still doesn’t look happy. 

A strong volume and I am looking so much forward to “Scarlet” which starts next month. No surprise. Girls in uniforms w/swords! Yay!

The November issue hits shelves mid-month and there’s a bunch of stuff I’m looking forward to!
