Yuri Manga

This week Yen Press announced the cover release for the upcoming Strawberry Fields Once Again, Vol. 3, which is hitting bookstores at the end of June! This volume is an absolute whirlwind of a final volume.

Aya-chan wa Rezu Fuuzoku ni Kyoumi ga arimasu!, Volume 1 (彩純ちゃんはレズ風俗に興味があります!) is about a young women who hires a companion for the evening and finds herself becoming a sex worker because it interests her.  There’s also a love story plot in there, but I won’t spoil. ^_^

Doukyuusei no Oshi Sakka ni Yuri Mousou ga Bareta Kekka, Volume 1 (同級生の推し作家に百合妄想がバレた結果) is the story of a true Yuri fan (believer) who finds that her favorite Yuri author (god) is her classmate.

Meijou shigatai Kanojo to, ano goro Okubyō datta Watashi no Hanashi, Volume 1 (名状しがたい彼女と、あの頃臆病だった私の話), is a horror manga about a girl who is rescued by and falls in love with a girl who manipulates monsters….and you can just about hear the creak of the dartboard being spun on that plot. ^_^

Via Comic Natalie, we have something for the animal-ear girls fans among us, Ookami no Kawa o Kabutta Hitsuji Hime (狼の皮をかぶった羊姫), which I am totally translating in my head as The Sheep Princess in Wolf’s Clothing, which looks totally not applicable to the story as far as I read. ^_^

And, while we’re spinning the wheel and throwing darts art plots points, Check out Bookwalker for Kabunshou kara Hajimaru Yuri (花粉症からはじまる百合). After all, we all know that hayfever is totally romantic. ^_^;

Via Yuri Navi, one-shot Hi no Ataranai sono Heya de,(日の当たらないその部屋で), is a “sad” story of a teacher who looks back at her youth to find love. You can read the whole thing in Japanese on Web Ace.

Starting in the July issue of Comic Yuri Hime in a new school girls love story, “Spica wo Tsukamaete” (スピカをつかまえて), also via Yuri Navi, who completely gave up on even trying to guess the plot and basically just says, “We have no idea what it’s about, all we know is that it’s a schoolgirl Yuri.”

Yuri Online Events & Podcasts

Reminder that on June 5 at 21:00 JST (8 AM US EST, 1PM BST), James Welker, Verena Maser and myself will be paneling Transporting Yuri Across Borders at Mechademia! Registration is 1000￥, so about $10 USD for you to watch the presentations and join the panels (which will not be recorded for later viewing, I have been informed.)  I’ve been watching a few of the presentations every day and they have been amazing.

I spoke with Kate Fitzsimons at Publisher’s Weekly about The Rose of Versailles this week on More to Come.  I also had a lovely conversation with Sullivan and Tori at Third Impact Anime this past week, but there were many technical problems on my side, I hope they’ll be able to put that together for Pride month.   I have another podcast with Manga Mavericks coming up about Nagata Kabi’s newest book out in English, My Alcoholic Escape From Reality, and I’ve just finished up her Meisou Senshi Nagata Kabi (迷走戦士・永田カビ) in Japanese.

To wrap my June up, join me at the all-at home, all-free CasaCon on Discord.
