We’ll start off with a bunch of stuff on the Yuricon Store!

Yuri Light Novels

Iruma Hitoma’s Adachi and Shimamura, Volume 1 is officially launched in English. Volume 2 will be released this summer.

Bloom Into You Regarding Saeki Sayaka, Volume 2 is making its English-language debut this week! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Yuri Manga

Makoto Hagino’s A Tropical Fish Yearns for Snow, Volume 4 is slated for an August release

Kayoko’s adult life story, One-Night Friend (ワンナイトフレンド) follows Mayu who, after a bender wakes up with a naked stranger in her bed….and with this, I am officially tired of this trope. ^_^

Ai ni Airashi Itoshi Anata (愛に愛らし愛しいあなた) by Suzuki Ariko follows a beautiful OL and an average high school student who fall in love.

Model-chan to Jimi Mane-san, Volume 2 (モデルちゃんと地味マネさん) continues the story of flaky model Yuria and her serious-minded manager Okabe.

Inui Ayu’s Teiji ni Ageretara, Volume 3 (定時にあがれたら) continues this soft and sweet office romance.

Rafael Antonio Pineda on ANN reports that namori’s Yuru Yuri is getting an Isekai spinoff comic.

I’m putting this here to remind myself: Himitsu no Kaidan Reunion (ひみつの階段 reunion) doujinshi is available on Booth.pm, as a pdf, from creator of this Yuri classic, Konno Kita.

Yuri Visual Novels

Aikasa Collective’s Yuri Visual novel Mizuchi is now on Steam with a special launch week discount. Early reactions have been very positive so far. I hope to have a review and an interview with Aikasa coming up soon for you. ^_^

I took a look at Angela He’s interactive comic there’s this girl last week, which was very sweet, and sad with a pretty palette. It’s worth a look.

Not-Yuri, But….

Crystalyn Hodgkins on ANN just reported that anime VladLove just cast Park Romi and so I’m going to have to watch it now. Damn you Mamoru Oshii.

Crystalyn also has the news that the 20th anniversary film for Magical Doremi, Looking for Magical Doremi, has been delayed because of the pandemic.

The artists of Carole & Tuesday recorded a message of love and support for fans, according to Kim Morrisey on ANN. The visual is a bit of a spoiler. ^_^

While we’re at talking about series that aren’t Yuri….Aria is, gods help us, going to have a 15th anniversary theatrical film release, according to ANN’s Rafael Antonio Pineda.

Let’s wrap up with the very best news this week…. via Hayashiya-sensei on Twitter, all of Hayate x Blade is available to read online for free (in Japanese) through May 6th! Hop on this and get  your fill of the best action comedy manga ever written.
