Yuri Anime

Last week, Yen Press announced the license of  Virgin Road (which, apparently is a colloquialism in Japan for the path a bride walks towards her husband at their wedding, which is pretty uhh…) and has changed the title to the surprisingly more palatable The Executioner and Her Way of Life light novel under the title and this week, we have news of an anime for the series. Jennifer Sherman over at ANN has the details and Youtube has the teaser. Thank you Sean, for the corrected titles.

Crunchyroll will be streaming Mamoru Oshii’s Vlad Love, with an auspicious launch date this month of…you guessed it, Valentine’s Day. Joseph Luster has the story at Crunchyroll News.

WATATEN!: an Angel Flew Down to Me, aka Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita! upcoming anime will get a theater release in Japan, date as yet unreported. Egan Loo has the scoop on ANN.

Not Yuri, but Rafael Antonio Pineda has the report on a 4-minute long Sailor Moon Eternal “digest” video which summarizes the first movie.

Yuri Manga

Awesome news from Seven Seas – they have licensed the I’m in Love With the Villainess manga! Jennifer Sherman once again has details at ANN. For one of the very few times in my life as an otaku, I find myself actually hoping for an anime of a series. This one has enough wacky and service and action to work. (And queer-positive representation in a “Yuri” anime would be swell.)

Days of Love at Seagull Villa, Volume 2 is on the way and on the Yuricon Store! Naoko Kodama’s drama is intense this volume.

Also on the Store is Shio Usui’s office romance drama, Doughnuts Under A Crescent Moon, Volume 1, which I utterly adore. I give this series my highest recommendation for being inspiring and heart-warming.

I’m ecstatic that Amano Shuninta’s Touma-kun (冬馬くん ) series from Galette magazine is now available as a single collected volume. I liked this one a great deal. Touma-kun doesn’t mean to break hearts, she just really wants the other girls to feel beautiful and loved. That’s why they call her “Everyone’s Boyfriend.”

Via Comic Natalie, Ane wo Sukina Onee-san to (姉を好きなお姉さんと) is about a woman who is living with her sister’s friend, then learns the friend is in love with and indeed, dating, her sister.

Also on Comic Natalie, Kore ha Yoi Dakimura, Minase Rururuu Yuri Short Story Collection (これはよい抱き枕 水瀬るるう百合作品集) is a collected volume of doujinshi works.
