I’m really enjoying the crazy fonts of the current cover set by Rolua and so far, this is my favorite cover. The out-of-focus fence is fantastic and – even though we know what it says, I couldn’t make this font out at all, so that was fun. ^_^ It’s a heck of a way to begin Comic Yuri Hime July 2020 (コミック百合姫2020年7月号).

The magazine starts off with a new story, about a tall, introverted girl who is a semi-professional novelist in Yuama’s “Kimi to Tsuzuru Utakata,” which feels strikingly similar to “Hello Melancholic” and is likewise, charming.

Himari finally sees Yori-sempai in concert and is once again blown away, in Takeshima Eku’s “Sasayaku Youni Koi wo Utau”…and, at last Himari offers her answer to Yori’s question.

Sumiya Zeniko’s “Majyo to Koisuru 5-byou Mae” is filled with action and shouting.

Since we know it’s ending next issue, “Umineko Bessoudays” by Kodama Naoko comes to a climactic moment as things are said that must be said to move forward.

Hinako makes an important decision in “Kaketa Tsuki to Donuts” by Usui Shio and we all cheer for her.

There are, as always, many other stories in the issue, many of which I read and enjoy. There are several I read that I don’t enjoy and others I skip completely. Which means that, depending on your likes and dislikes, there ought to be something for you, as well!

There’s a bit too much wackiness and screaming in the newish series, but I’m willing to see where they go. ^_^

The August issue is out now and September hits shelves later this month. ^_^
