Yuri Live Action

Idol Factor has released three short trailers for their upcoming Thai Yuri live-action GAP The Series: The “cutie” trailer; the “tears” trailer, and; the “savage” trailer are all on Youtube.

This series looks like it will lean well into the Yuri, as more and more Thai  series have leaned into the BL aspect. Based on the comments on Youtube, the audience is read for a Yuri series with some bite.

Yuri Manga

Finally! Whisper Me a Love Song, Volume 5 will be hitting shelves in May. So you can finally see Shiho’s deal. (Warning…it’s ridiculous. ^_^)

Boyish² Butch x Butch Yuri Anthology is extending their sale period. I highly recommend giving this independent queer Yuri anthology a few bucks and show your support for their work! In a statement on Twitter, the creators noted that this is, in part, an attempt to curb piracy. I’m sure I don’t have to tell Okazu readers, but as a reminder, its not okay to pirate manga. It makes the creators really sad. Especially when it’s a small, independent creation.

My Idol Sits the Next Desk Over! Volume 4 hit shelves this week.

Tokuwotsumu has a bittersweet adult life story about a woman who find her former lover’s diary in Haru Tsudzuru, Sakurasaku Kono Heya de (春綴る、桜咲くこの部屋で). Love their work, so I bet I’ll like this.

Speaking of loving their work, I’m reading Kuzushiro’s Uyanotsuki, Volume 1 right no and looking forward to Uyanotsuki, Volume 2 (雨夜の月). This story is about two high school girls who meet under unusual circumstances. One is a piano player and the other is hard of hearing.

Yuri Anime

The Executioner and Her Way of Life debuted on HIDIVE this month.

A really interesting piece of news from CR News’ Kara Dennison – the Black Rock★★ Shooter DAWN FALL Blu-rays will include the spin-off novels, written by Fukami Makoto. Now that’s a bonus I can get behind.

Kara also has the details of the Revolutionary Girl Utena pop-up shop in Shibuya. If any Okazu reader can get there, and would be willing to shop for me, please let me know!

Yuri Light Novel

You can get Yume no Kuni kara Mezamete mo (夢の国から目覚めても), a story about two women in a doujinshi circle, on JP Kindle or Bookwalker! I might give it a try. ^_^
