Yuri Events
I will be presenting on the First 100 Years of Lesbian-themed Japanese Animation and Comics at Flamecon, today, August 20, 12:45 – 1:45 PM in New York City. I’ll be joining Rica Takashima at Table U180 where we’ll be dual-signing copies of By Your Side: The First 100 Years of Yuri Anime and Manga! Drop by for my panel and a copy of the book.
Help us celebrate Okazu’s 20th anniversary! Join us for our Yuri Treasure Hunt event! Find Yuri treasures, for Yuri prizes.
One way or another I intend to be at AnimeNYC, November 18-2022 in NYC. I’ll be making the rounds and will definitely be selling signed copies of my book. If you’d like me to be a guest there, write and let them know. I’d like a table of my own. ^_^
Yuri Manga
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou Omnibus, Volume 1 is out in English! I’m so excited to have the quiet, slow end of humanity come to our shores at at last. Meet Alpha, a humanoid android who runs a coffee shop at the end of the world and her friends.This is a beautiful manga that may leave you with more questions than it answers.
I’m in Love with the Villainess, Volume 3 has hit digital devices and will be out in print at the end of September! Get it from a variety of vendors on the Yuricon Store.
If you are a fan of ILTV, do check out this lovely art Fanbook collection by the ILTV Project created for Inori-sensei’s birthday. Merci is a free download. It was very sweet. A new fanfic collection is being worked on now, as well.
Young Ladies Don’t Play Fighting Games, Volume 3 is hitting shelves in September.
Very much looking forward to Volume 2 of the Otherside Picnic manga from Square Enix, which will hit shelves this month.

My Clueless First Friend Vol. 1 from Square Enix. This heartwarming slice-of-life comedy series follows the unusual budding friendship between gloomy Nishimura and cheerful Takada as they experience a fun and memorable summer together is scheduled for release on March 7, 2023.
