Yuri Manga: Yurikon, Volume 2 (ゆりこん)

July 9th, 2019

In 2019 we have Yuri in the schools, Yuri in the office, Yuri slice-of-life, Yuri scifi, Yuri sports, and plenty of Yuri weddings.

Yurikon, Volume 2 (ゆりこん) picks up the thread laid down in Volume 1, in which two women get married and their story leads to the next couple and the next. As this volume opens, two of the marriages from Volume 1 are are having some communication and sex problems, but it’s all sorted out with talking, alcohol and photos that absolutely could be used for blackmail, if anyone was so inclined.

Two girls whose mothers are married are themselves in love. A young woman has to face rejection from the sempai she loves, and sempai heads off after graduation to marry her love. Despondent, Megumi is taken aback when the woman at the crepe truck confesses to her. But Rita is sincere and adorable and Megumi is swayed.

The next chapter is an old throwback to doujinshi past, as a recalcitrant child gets in the way of two women, but turns out to be their furbaby, rather than a human one. ^_^;

And, finally, a wrapup chapter that brings all the couples back into one story, as they various go out shopping, on dates, eating and running into old friends out on the town.

 

Ratings:

Art – 7 Cute and cuddly, in the oeuvre of Morishima Akiko.
Story – 7 V1 was Dum Dum lollipops, V2 is more like Jolly Ranchers. Super sweet, but there is some unique  flavor
Characters – 8 Precious, ever last one of them.
Service – Still obsessing about weddings and drawing different wedding dresses and a bit of wacky
Yuri – 10

Overall – 9  All the happily ever afters have happily ever afters. ^_^

It’s all an adorable and lively romp through Yuri romance without social or political identity. No one is struggling to be recognized by the government, or being harassed at work. Not a single heckle in these squeaky clean and cute stories of Yuri love.
