Yuri Anime

Not sure how Yuri this might turn out to be be but ANN reports that Crunchyroll, Funimation and HIDIVE will all be streaming Magia Record: Puella Magi Magica Madoka Side Story in the new year. Check out Alex Mateo’s report for details and for the promotional videos.

It is with utmost delight that I can tell you that Go Nagai’s The Devil Lady is streaming on Amazon Prime. It’s dub only, but still so very worth watching. In fact, I’m watching it as I type this report. ^_^

 

Yuri Visual Novel

Studio Élan has announced a new Yuri Visual Novel, Lock and Key. From the website:

“What does it mean to be a magical girl?”

This is the question at the heart of Lock and Key, a magical mystery set in a world shaped by your interpretation of the magical girl genre. 

Sherri and Kealey Cohen, now a married couple in their late 20s, left the title of magical girls behind them over a decade ago. Now on the verge of losing their powers and entering a life of true normalcy, a string of unexplainable murders forces them to come out of retirement for one last adventure. Together with Nina, their old friend, and Ruby, a new protege, Sherri and Kealey will have to face a mystery connected both to their past and future. In the world of Lock and Key, the player shapes their path…and more importantly, determines where that path will end.

This sounds really fun if you like actual games in your VNs.

Yuri Light Novel

The digital release of Bloom Into You: Regarding Saeki Sayaka, Volume 1 is out. You definitely don’t want to miss this if you like Sayaka best (which you obviously should. ^_^)

Sexiled: My Sexist Party Leader Kicked Me Out, So I Teamed Up With a Mythical Sorceress! Volume 2 is out now and every bit as worth reading as Volume 1. The print version of Volume 1 is heading our way in June 2020 (which is going to be a hell of a month for Yuri fans.)

 

Other News

Rafael Antonio Pineda over at ANN has a report on the Cutie Honey Stage Play cast and visuals.

    I think it depends on how much you evaluate the potential of yuri in the franchise itself. In any case, even if we omit shiping and related interpretations, the original game still has canonical lesbian characters and even criticizes the trope “protective lesbian female friend”.
