Yuri Network News – (百合ネットワークニュース) – September 25, 2021

September 25th, 2021

We have an extraordinary amount of news this week. ^_^

Yuri Manga

Yen Press has licensed If You Could See Love, about a girl who can see who is in love with her…in a girls’ school. Alex Mateo has the details on ANN.

We’ve got a bunch of new Yuri on the Yuricon Store! I am almost caught up from the last month of being behind on this…until the next batch drops. ^_^

Mikan Uji’s Fuzoroi no Renri, Volume 5 (不揃いの連理”), which continues several odd couple Yuri tales that are fun and a little poignant. I just reviewed Volume 4 this week.

2DK, G Pen After Time Ohsawa Yayoi Short Story Collection (2DK、Gペン、アフタータイム。大沢やよい 短編集). I’m super looking forward to this. In part because Ohsawa-sensei’s art and story telling has matured since 2015 when this series debuted (and I dd not like the first volume at all. ^_^ Times and opinions change.)

Shimura Takako’s Otona ni Nattemo, Volume 5 (おとなになっても) is another book I’m really looking forward to.

Erie and Wako’s story continues in Futari ha Daitai Konna Kanji, Volume 3 (ふたりはだいたいこんなかんじ). Wako’s new anime role will be scripted by Erie!

The Japanese volumes for Kimi ni Tsumugu Bouhaku, (君に紡ぐ傍白) Volume 1 and Volume 2 are up on the Store. This series is being released in English as Monologue Woven For You, by Seven Seas. Volume 1 head your way this winter.

Last week we added Volume 3 of Usui Shio’s Kaketa Tsuki to Donuts ( 欠けた月とドーナッツ)  and now Crystalynn Hodgkins on ANN reports that this series will wrap up with Volume 4. But don’t worry, Volume 2 of Doughnuts Under A Crescent Moon has just come out in English, so we have some time to go with this lovely series. ^_^

The funny thing about Yuri ni Hasamarete, ESPer! (百合に挟まれて、エスパー!) is that, although I haven’t read more than a sample chapter of this, I feel like I know it, as it’s been on the to-put-on-the-Store list for a really long time. ^_^

It doesn’t look it, but, U-temo’s Kyou ha Mada Futsu ni Narenai (今日はまだフツーになれない) is about adult and whether everyone has to be involved in romance and sex to be “normal.”

Aisarete mo Iindayo, Volume 2 ( 愛されてもいいんだよ) Amano Shuninta’s fiction about being a lesbian sex worker is out now in Japan. I found Volume 1 interesting.

Via Comic Natalie,  Koi no Koukishin (恋の好奇心) is a story about two girls’ journey through all the most tedious tropes,like Pocky game and skirt flipping(?!) in the name of love and comedy. You can read a sample in Japanese on Comic Natalie and see if it’s for for you. Pro tip: Skirt flipping is not a sign of affection. It’s a form of sexual harassment.

Yuri Yuri creator namori and Mayu, Matou creator Hara Yuriko are contributing to a an upcoming Yuri issue of seasonal mook ES magazine (百合特集の季刊エス) reports Comic Natalie.

 

Yuri Interview

Yuri manga creator Inui Ayu is doing a live interview as I type this on Yuri Lovers Salon at the Asagaya Loft. Tickets to list to the interview are available through October 9.

 

Yuri Light Novel

Yen Press announced the license for The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady, a manga I coincidentally started this week (or maybe it was my Yuri magic?) Alex Mateo’s ANN article has the specs on this item, too.

 

Yuri Games

XSEED Games has officially announced new same-sex marriage features for Rune Factory 5. Read their localization blog for the whole story. It makes for some really interesting reading. Rafael Antonio Pineda has the trailer and some more game details on ANN. I hope someone will review this for us when it becomes available, it looks cute.

 

Yuri Anime

ANN’s Alex Mateo made my day with news about the second cour of Aquatope of White Sand, with new characters and a new OP.

 

Other News

Oku Hiroya has sold some of his art from Yuri series HEN as an NFT. Kim Morrisy has the story at ANN.
