Yuri Light Novels
Top news this week is the digital release of Volume 4 of I’m in Love With the Villainess, by inori, with illustrations by hanagata. The print volume will be hitting shelves in February.
This penultimate volume throws a *lot* at the wall, but wait, because Volume 5 is going to blow your socks off. ^_^
Yuri Manga
The Girl I Want is So Handsome Complete Collection is out now digitally and will be released shortly in print from Seven Seas. I reviewed both volumes of Ikemen-sugi desu Shiki-sempai! (Volume 1 and Volume 2) and found it to be extremely sweet.
Comic Yuri Hime, February 2022 is out and available in print and digital formats on the Yuricon Store.
Creator of the series Kiss & White Lily For My Dearest Girl, Canno, is launching a new series, Koudou-ryou no Seiza na Hibi, about girls in a dorm who represent the animals of the zodiac. Rafael Antonio Pineda has the details on ANN.
Via Twitter, Naoimai has a one shot Yuri manga in the February issue of Comic Beam magazine, Otome game no Akuyaku Raibaru Joshi ni Tensei Shitanode, In kara Oshi (Heroine) o Sasaetai to Omoimasu! (乙女ゲームの悪役ライバル女子に転生したので、陰から推し(ヒロイン)を支えたいと思います！) which works out to something like, the self-explanatory, “I was reincarnated as the rival villainess in an otome game, so I think I’ll support my favorite (the heroine) from the behind the scenes! Luckily for those of us outside Japan, we can read Comic Beam on Bookwalker!

Yuri VNs & Games
I’m a little late on this, but hopefully the offer is still good. According to Studio Élan’s Twitter, Heart of the Woods is 30% off on Nintendo Switch!
Melonbooks has a new Yuri doujinshi game, Tsuyuchiru Letter -Umi to Shiori ni Amaoto wo- (ユチル・レター～海と栞に雨音を～. It looks sweet, but it’s about a twisted three way relationship.
Kim Morrisy over at ANN has the news that the Alice Closet dress-up game will be holding a limited-time crossover event with characters from Revolutionary Girl Utena. I cannot think of a better choice, frankly. ^_^
