I want to thank everyone who participated in our Okazu 20th Anniversary Treasure Hunt! You are all Yuri Masters!

The next thing we’ll be celebrating this year is a 5000th post on Okazu. Crazy, huh? I’ll be taking suggestions from Okazu Patrons on what I should write about for my 5000th post here.

And I want to apologize, I had a technical error in my newest Yuri Studio video that was beyind my limited technical skills to fix, that meant it will be delayed a week. But hopefully, you will all get to see the video I did to celebrate 20 years of Okazu next week! In the meantime, catch up on Season 3 of Yuri Studio so far!

Yuri Manga

I was extremely honored to be able to assist with the English edition of Nekobungi Sumire-sensei’s new manga collection, Tokyo Nekoka Project, “Tokyo Caticization Project.” It’s a fun and interesting collection of scifi, Yuri and cats. I hope you’ll pick up a copy and let Nekobungi-sensei know if you enjoyed it!  I thought it was great and you know how I feel about cats. (-_-)

Ratana Satis’ Pulse, Volume 1 is now available from Seven Seas! I reviewed this back in 2016 and am glad it will reach a wider audience now.

Vampeerz, Volume 2 is out now from Denpa Books. I reviewed this in 2020, and while I read the next couple of volumes I stopped reviewing it in Japanese. Not for any specific reason. If you like vampires and can write limericks, I invite you to consider writing a guest review!

Chapter 29 of Tsukiritai Onna to Tabetai Onna (作りたい女と食べたい女) is up and Kasuga is shopping for Valentine’s Day chocolates for Nomoto! Ahhh!

Spica wo Tsukamaete, Volume 1 (スピカをつかまえて) is up on the Yuricon Store. This is a heated school triangle about three girls who are rivals for the number one spot in school and more.

Lucky Star manga, which has been on hiatus for 8 years, will restart in Maitana magazine.

On Twitter, Nouchi-sensei announces the start of their school life Yuri series, Yukidoke to Agapanthus (雪解けとアガパンサス) running in Dengeki Daioh! (Which I would have bought, but saw that issue of Geijutsu Shincho with Rose of Versailles on the cover, on the shelf and bought that instead. ^_^)

Also from Twitter, we have Hime ha Atsuku Nigiru (姫はアツく握る) which nanaoku found and announced “It’s Yuri!”

From YNN Corespondent Pan, we have a new girls’ sports series, Tsubame Tip-off (つばめティップオフ！) about basketball, from Comic Meteor. Pan suggests it has Yuri undertones. Even without, I always welcome another sports drama featuring women. ^_^

Yuri Anime

Alex Mateo on ANN reports that Crunchyroll has Psycho-Pass 3 up for streaming now. If the lesbians are still alive, I’m open to a guest review!

Lycoris Recoil hit Japanese Trending on Twitter this morning with a spoiler from Episode 10. An admittedly not at all surprising spoiler, but spoiler nontheless, should you click.

Lucas DeRuyter has written an interesting perspective piece on Birdie Wing, from the point of view of someone who lives and breathes golf. Whiffs and Aces: Birdie Wing’s Mixed Depiction of Golf is over at ANN. h/t to Sr. YNN Correspondent Sean G for this!
