Yuri + Kanojo – Kossori Kisushite ( 百合+カノジョ -こっそりキスして-) is the fifth of this whimsical Yuri anthology series. It’s quite charming. ^_^

This volume take a moment to revisit characters and relationships from the previous four volumes, so the anthology has the feel of checking in with old friends and seeing how they are doing. ^_^

Like earlier volumes, every chapter is presented from a first-person perspective, so we are the one being addressed in each chapter….and being seduced, snuggled, asked to marry and impressed with the biceps of our bodybuilding lover, and so on. 

The specific quirk of this volume is “regional” stories with accents and locations that are meant to reflect specific localities in Japan. Along with these regional stories, there sections for old friends, specific jobs and a few overseas stories as well.

I am finding these particularly fun to read before bed. Short, mostly sweet, with a chapter or two per character leaves me with a very positive feeling as I head off to sleep. ^_^
