Galette, No. 7 (ガレット) actually came out back in August but I’ve been, um, busy, so here it is just a few weeks before No. 8 hits shelves in Japan. ^_^; 

There were a couple of very notable entries this issue. First among them was Takemiya Jin’s horror Yuri manga, “Sekai no Owari ni Anata to Futari” in which this case, the end of the world was literal. (O_O)

I had to laugh at Morishima Akiko’s “Motto Hanjuku Joshi” chapter, in which we meet the “female version of a male version of Yae” and it makes perfect sense.

With continuing stories from Morinaga Milk, Kita Izumi and Momono Moto, Amano Shuninta, Yorita Miyuki, Hakamada Mera, Hamano Ringo and Uno Junior, this doujinshi-magazine scratches a whole lot of different itches.

The Petit Galette was full four-color, which felt like a nice bonus. (And the soy smell was not nearly as pronounced this issue as it as last time.)

Of everything in this entire magazine, the one thing that stood above all, was a lovely, color photo of two adult women in yukata at a summer festival. It was just so sweet is left me smiling for days.

You can buy Galette in print from Amazon JP, on US Kindle (which I did this time, when I knew I wanted to read this issue before I was going to be able to get the print volume. I really like magazines in digital format – it’s great for reading anywhere or anytime.) Galette is also available on BOOK☆WALKER digitally.
