Yuri Manga
Yen Press had a number of Yuri manga license announcements at AnimeNYC; Whenever Our Eyes Meet, (link goes to my review of the Japanese volume) an anthology of stories set in adult office life, Killing Me! by Akiyama, a love story between a vampire and vampire hunter. And the slice-of-life Yuri Life (again, the link goes to my review of the original,) by Kurukuruhime.
Tokyopop’s English edition of Yurikuma Arashi, Yuri Bear Storm, Volume 1 by Morishima Akiko, will be dropping in February. This may be the first of Morishima-sensei’s manga art to make it over here in English!
YuriNavi premiers Toile, a web-comic Yuri anthology, available on Pixiv and Fantia. Chapters can be read online for free (in Japanese) on Yuri Navi.
For Yagate Kimi ni Naru/ Bloom Into You fans, a series-related anthology is being planned, with many of the same contributors as the Éclair series: Nakatani-sensei heself, Canno, Fuyu Yutaka, tMnR and others! Check out the Yagate Kimi ni Naru Official Comics Anthology (やがて君になる 公式コミックアンソロジー), which is out now.
This month BeComics launched the next Yuri + Kanojo anthology, Yuri+ Kanojo Kossuri Kisu shite- (百合+カノジョ -こっそりキスして-).
In the “file this away for a day in Spring,” the next Galette collection is heading our way with Kitta Izumi and Momono Moto’s collaboration Liberty (リバティ), one of my favorite titles to run in the magazine.

I just got the new anthology of Yuri + Kanojo and I really really liked it. Because a couple of shots bring back characters from the last anthology. So, it was a nice thing to read more about them.
I was wondering if you’ll do a review of: 君は少女 (Kimi wa Shoujo), which came out around June. And also for the anthology: あなたの側にいると私は 社会人百合アンソロジー (Anata no soba ni iru to watashi wa shakai hito Yuri ansorojī)
Yes, I will review the anthology, once I have purchased and read it. Probably not Kimi ha Shoujo. I found it skeezy, honestly and not particularly good entertainment. I just began another Yuri + Kanojo anthology and as gratified to see a couple of senior Yuri chapters.
