Yuri Visual Novel
Yangyang Mobile has released a new Yuri VN on Steam, Perfect Gold. “In this short, coming-of-age yuri visual novel, play as Marion LaRue and Audrey Clary as they explore the magical city of Castlecoast and get a second chance at love and friendship.” It looks cute and if you’d like to review it for Okazu, let me know!
Yuri Events
I’m pleased as I can be to give you this link for Brown University’s Japan Week 2021 Lecture: Yoshiya Nobuko and Reading Like a Girl with Sarah Frederick. It was a really excellent lecture and I’m going to watch it again when I have the chance. Prof. Frederick’s discussion here takes a strong position about Yoshiya’s sexuality that I, for one, was glad to have someone say out loud, finally. ^_^

Several days later after Ayaka arranged for divorce she moves in as Makoto’s neighbour…”
Also from Megan, we have news of an interview with author Goumoto for the release of Volume 3 of Yoru to Umi (夜と海 ). Megan notes that Goumoto-sensei “mentions the 2004 British lesbian film My Summer of Love as an inspiration. She explains her reasons for getting interested in Yuri – it’s a method of depicting her favourite types of relationship, that is, relationships between women not confined only to romance.”
