Yuri Light Novels
Great news for fans of I’m in Love With the Villainess, via her twitter account inori-sensei’s newest novel Heimin no Kuse ni Namaikina! (平民のくせに生意気な！) will be hitting JP Kindle and US Kindle in Japanese this week from GL Bunko! I expect to see a license for “She’s Such A Cheeky Commoner” in English pretty soon. This is all from Claire’s point of view – and I have to say, it’s worth reading. There’s some new content that the original does not cover…and whole new character you’ve never seen. ^_^

Yuri Anime
Egan Loo has the news about the upcoming Yuri anime The Executioner and Her Way of Life. I’m still reading the series, and still not sure how I feel about it, and I don’t think the anime will help, but I’m sure going to watch it. ^_^ This Yuri action/adventure/horror isekai will premiere on April 1st.

Yuri Events
I will be at Anime Boston, from May 27-29, 2022 at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston. On the good side, I’m a featured panelist, on the exhausting side, they are absolute slave drivers and I’ll be on about 6 panels. You’ll have an equal chance of catching me at least once and getting utterly sick of me completely. ^_^ If you run a podcast or website and want to interview me, I’ll be scheduling slots as soon as my schedule is fixed.
Also, great news – Yuri Mother herself will be joining me for at least one panel! (I say “at least,” because I am well known to recruit others into a lot of my panels… ^_^)
Tonight several Vtubers are planning a Yuri symposium – check out Honeymelonhime, Lirie and Pia on Twitch.. I know nothing about any of them, so you’ll have to let me know how it goes. ^_^

Other News
ANN’s Adriana Hazra reports that Star Fruit Books is launching an indie manga magazine in English, Comic Bright. I’m super looking forward to this. I read The Blood Red Boy by Minami Q-ta from them and it was the best $2 I had spent that month. You can check out the Mangasplaining crew talking about that story, as well.
