Yuri Events

Today at 3:30 PM Eastern US time, I will be talking about Yuri at Anime Lockdown!  Join me for “How It Began – How It’s Going: 100 Years of Yuri.” And don’t miss, when it’s posted, Emma Wolfe’s panel on Rose of Versailles and the French Revolution

On July 26, HYPER JAPAN is doing LGBT+Japan, on Monday July 26 at 16:00 BST (please check your local time) Broadcast via YouTube/Twitch or join us live on Zoom! I’ll be mostly listening to the other panelists, since they have experience of, y’know, LGBT life in Japan. ^_^;

And, get ready for the Yuricon 20th Anniversary event. Registration will go live in the next week, so keep your eyes on the Okazu Patreon and Yuricon for announcements. Put August 14th, 8AM Eastern US Time, 9PM Japan Time on your calendar!

Flamecon is back as a Virtual Event on August 21-22. Get your queer fandom on!

Sailor Moon Original Anime dub Cast Reunion Panel happened last night and you can watch the video on Geektainment TV on YouTube.

 

Yuri Manga

JK to Tomodachi no Okan (JKとともだちのオカン) is clearly a comedy, about young woman who is in love with her male friend’s mother. But here’s something fun – you can get it in hardcover. Why? I have no idea, so I might just….. ^_^

Via Comic Natalie, Yuri ni Hasamarete, Esper!, Volume 1, (百合に挟まれて、エスパー!) is another comedy manga, this one about a girl who can read the Yuri-ful thoughts of her classmates.

Via Yurimother, Aquatope of White Sand manga will be drawn by Sakuragi Ren. The anime has already premiered on Crunchyroll.

Via Comic Natalie, Spica wo Tsukumaete (スピカをつかまえて) has begun in Comic Yuri Hime. It’s a disciplinary committee president x gal story drawn by Iwami Kyouko. I really like Iwami’s work and hold hope that this will exceed its opener.

Just gonna busk – again for Odoriba ni Skirt ga Naru (踊り場にスカートが鳴る) because this is an outstandingly lovely story about dancing and body shame.

    Glad to see that KyoAni is back with Dragon-Maid. While I have never been a big fan of this show, I appreciate the way it praises the friedship and love between people from different cultures.

    Aquatope unveiled its Blu-ray details – 24 episodes across 6 vols. For vol 1 extras include a ticket application for a special event with the staff and cast, a ‘voice diary’ and ‘mini movie’, and staff and cast audio commentaries. There’s also tokutens specific to each store https://aquatope-anime.com/bd/vol1/

    The series also now has an official fanclub, which for a monthly fee includes official art, forums and member-only merch. The site has a shop, only a couple items (keychains, badges) on there right now fc.aquatope.info

    I’ll be keeping an eye out for artbooks on the store, the anime is a stunning effort from PA Works (not just but definitely including the visuals!), I’m looking forward to seeing where things will go after such a strong start ^_^

      Wow, it looks like the studio has really high hopes for this anime! I adore these guys, so I hope that all their efforts will pay off.
