Yuri Manga
Winter 2022 is looking pretty great for Yuri! We’ll start with a bunch from Seven Seas.
Our Teachers Are Dating!, Volume 4 brings this series to it’s warm and fuzzy and sexy conclusion.
At last! We are getting a Ohsawa Yayoi in English, yahoo! This winter will see Hello Melancholic!, Volume 1 on your shelves. I genuinely adored this school band drama. Those of you who loved 2DK, GPen, Mezamashitokei will be pleased at Ohsawa-sensei’s new short story collection 2DK, GPen After-Time (2DK、Gペン、アフタータイム。) which is hitting shelves in Japan in October.
5 Second Before a Witch Falls in Love, is also hitting shelves and devices in February.
Don’t miss Doughnuts Under a Crescent Moon, Volume 2. Asahi and Hinako are starting to get a clue. ^_^
The conclusion of A White Rose in Bloom, Volume 2 was nothing I could have ever, ever expected. Definitely a terrific story by master of school manga, Nakamura Asumiko.
Even If It Was Just Once, I Regret It, Volume 1, is the first volume of a series I haven’t read at all, but I’m told develops interestingly. The premise of a woman giving her body to her female landlord in lieu of rent is not my ideal, but I’m will to give it a try.
And GUNBRED x SISTERS, Volume 1 is the bounty hunter x Vampire Yuri somebody has been waiting for. ^_^
Yen Press is giving us the dramatic fourth volume of Cocoon, Entwined in December.
Don’t miss Otherside Picnic, the manga, Volume 1, which is out from Square Enix this week. I’m reading my copy as soon as I’m done writing the report! ^_^

Via Yuri Navi, Mikanuji’s Fuzuroi no Renri, Volume 5 (不揃いの連理) has hit JP shelves this week. I’m enjoying this goofy ensemble cast of office workers, yanki girls, school girls and others. It’s random and fun. Also via Yuri Navi, Mikanuji-sensei has a new series running in Young Ace UP called Sempai, Oishii Desuka? (先輩、美味しいですか？). You can see sample pages of this in Japanese on Yuri Navi or read the first chapter on Young Ace UP on Webace.
Mermaid x human Yuri story, Watashi o Tabetai, Hito de Nashi, Volume 2 (私を喰べたい、ひとでなし ) is available. I’ve got V1 on the to-read pile, but I’m way behind.
Tamifull’s college-life romance and sex drama, Tsukiatte Agettemo Iikana, Volume 7 (付き合ってあげてもいいかな) hit Japanese bookshelves this week. For the very first time, I’m really interested in where this is going, as the story is nowhere near where it began.
Via Comic Natalie, Toshita no Sempai (年下の先輩) is a “timeslip ero-comedy” Yuri manga about a woman who meets her old sempai as an adult, then travels through time to meet her sempai as a young woman again. Sample chapters are free online in Japanese on Yanmaga Web.
One last via Comic Natalie, Look Back (ルックバック) is a Jump comics one-shot manga about two young women brought together by their desire to create manga.
Yuri Light Novel
One more item from Yuri Navi, a voiced light novel preview, Kotozaki-san ga Miteru,” (琴崎さんがみてる) for you to enjoy on Youtube! Volume 1 is available for pre-order now and will be shipping in October.
I just finished Girls Kingdom, Volume 4 and I am going to seriously suggest you read it. Check back tomorrow and I’ll tell you why in my review. The series is loopy, but…trust me.
Yuri Anime
Retrocrush TV added Stellvia this month and if you missed it the first time, I recommend it highly. It did a lot of good things and changed a few tropes up for savant-character anime, which was the style at the time. They also have Princess Nine, for girl sports anime fans, who don’t mind having their hearts crushed. Rafael Antonia Pineda has the details on ANN.
