Yuri Events

Next weekend, catch the 100 Years of Yuri presentation at Anime NYC, Friday, November 15, at 3PM at Javits Convention Center, Room 1E17. I’ll also participating in the Great Debate with Guest Zack Davisson at 6PM! Watch us argue passionately about things that do not matter. ^_^

It is not the last chance to hear about 100 Years of Yuri, though – you can still contact me with an invite to be on your podcast, at your school or convention!

Comiket is approaching in Japan and circles are announcing their participation. Twitter is a great place to track those announcements. You can use #コミケ97 as a link for all posts regarding the event or check out my Yuri Resources List on Twitter for folks to follow.

Sexiled author Ameco Kaeruda has announced on Twitter that she’ll be contributing to a ComiketYuri anthology called DSD Project. If anyone of you is going to be there and can get it for me, please let me know, as I won’t be able to make it myself.

LGBTQ Comics

You remember I was at FIT Diversity ComicCon a few weeks ago? It was *awesome* and while there I got to talk to the amazing Alison Wilgus about her comic Chronin (which I have, of course reviewed. Read my thoughts on Volume 1 and Volume 2 here on Okazu.) Our chat on her queer time-travel, crossdressing historical samurai epic has been published on the Comics Beat. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed doing it!

The emotional climax of Shimanami Tasogare is upon us. Volume 4 is available for pre-order.

Via Yuri Times on Twitter, Saburouta’s Citrus+, Volume 1 is going on sale digitally in 7 countries on the same day and Argentina just slightly early (because of distribution schedules.) However I feel about the content of that series, this is a groundbreaking moment. You can get this digital release on Kindle or Bookwalker Global. The print volume will be out in English in February 2020 from Seven Seas.

Rafael Antonio Pineda on ANN reports on Nagata Kabi’s newest manga about her worsening mental and physical health. Genjitsu Touhi Shitetara Boroboro ni Natta Hanashi (現実逃避してたらボロボロになった話) is available this week in Japan.

Kyra Kupetsky posted an adorable romance comic between a middle-aged woman and the woman telemarketer who calls her in “This is She” on her Twitter feed. Read and enjoy!

Yuri Anime

The Bloom Into You Premium Blu-Ray box set from Section 23 has been added to the Yuricon Store. You know this is the holiday present you want. ^_^

The Fragtime OVA will be premiering at Anime NYC on Saturday, November 16 at 1:30 to 3:00 PM in 1E13 with guest voice actress Miku Ito and producer Yusuke Terada.

ANN’s Egan Loo has the news that Revue Starlight will get two films in 2020, one is a compilation and the other will be new content.

Other News

Via Out magazine, actress Lucy Liu has been painting beautiful lesbian erotic and romantic paintings for years. Just one more thing to like about her.

Via Anime Herald‘s Seth Green on Twitter (one of my compatriots on the Comixology manga panel at NYCC October 2019) here is a fun Yuri-ish music video from Sheena Ringo and Hikaru Utada.
