Yuri Manga

We had a bunch of new license this week from Seven Seas!

Monologue Woven for You by Syu Yasaka, is “a full-color manga series about two young women falling in love despite their conflicting experiences with the stage.” This was a fast license, I hadn’t even had a chance to read this yet! I’ll bump it up on the to-read pile. ^_^

Gunbured x Sisters about a vampire and warrior nun, by Wataru Mitogawa, creator of  Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet.

I had a look at this in Japanese last year, but now you’ll be able to read the My Next Life As A Villainess Side Story: Girl’s Patch. This came out from Ichijinsha and while the Yuri doesn’t burn the pages or anything, it was still a really nice book. ^_^

From Comic Yuri Hime comes this one-shot, 5 Seconds Before a Witch Falls in Love by Zeniko Sumiya about enemies who make a nice couple. ^_^

And my favorite license of the bunch, Hello, Melancholic! by Ohsawa Yayoi. I loved this series and am thrilled we’re getting some of Ohsawa-sensei’s work.

Late yesterday they licensed Even If It Was Just Once, I Regret It by Miyahara Miyako, about a landlady trading rent for favors, and the relationship that develops between her tenant.

Kodansha is re-releasing Princess Knight by Osamu Tezuka on Kindle. A new chance to get the first manga Girl Prince!

ANN’s Crystalyn Hodgkin’s wants you to know that FLOWERCHILD’s Warikitta Kankei Desu kara (割り切った関係ですから。) is coming to an end in Comic Yuri Hime.

We’ve added Yen Press’s The Whole of Humanity Has Gone Yuri Except For Me to the Yuricon Store. This alternate-world scifi hits shelves later this month.

Some folks expressed interest, so I added the Galette Illustration Book 01 to the digital listings on the Yuricon Store, with links to it on Amazon and Amazon JP.

Whisper Me A Love Song, Volume 3 hit shelves this week. Give me all the girl band Yuri!

    Another really awesome couple of licenses Seven Seas picked up is Japanese gay activist Ryousuke Nanasaki’s “Until I Meet My Husband”, which is his memoir based on his experiences of being a gay man in Japan. What’s especially exciting is that they’re not just releasing the manga adaptation, but the original essay novel as well, which I honestly wasn’t expecting.
