Yuri Events

My autumn schedule is filling up. I’m very excited to be part of so many great events in the next few months. These are all NYC-based. If you’d like me at your local event, school or organization, tell them to invite me. ^_^ I can be reached through the Yuricon Contact Form.

October 6-9 – New York Comic Con. I’ll be part of the Defending Manga in Libraries panel. 

October 24 – Hunter College, NYC. I’ll be talking about Yuri and the manga industry.

October 29  – Women in Comics Con, Bronx Library Center, NYC. This event is open to the public with a focus on teens and younger readers of comics. Details TBA.

AnimeNYC, Nov 18-20, NYC. I’m on two panels, Defending Manga in Libraries and Writing About Japan and will be signing books! Details TBA. I’ll be at this event all weekend, so check back for my full schedule.

The next Girls Love Fest will be held on November 11, 2022, at the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center in Asakusa. I liked that location, it’s right near the Senso-ji. ^_^

Comitia 142 will be held on November 27, 2022 at Big Sight in Tokyo. I’m really hoping to get there for next year’s November Comitia. 

Yuri Manga

Seven Seas has licensed an 18+ title from Comic Yuri Hime, Does It Count If You Lose Your Virginity To An Android? By Yakinikuteishoku, this manga is about a woman and her android housekeeper having sex. I am going to be a little salty here about equating “android” with “robot,” in their description, because Seven Seas does that with Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou as well and I find it an odd choice.

Via YNN Correspondent Scarlet Queen, Mahô Éditions has announced the French-language Roll Over and Die manga on their Twitter feed. Check out the announcement for a fantastic trailer for the series.

I cannot WAIT for you to be able to read Sal Jiang’s Black & White: Tough Love at the Office. This shakaijin Yuri is as explosive and violent as dynamite, with two women who are rivals in everything.

Yuri Novel

Komatsu-san on Crunchyroll reports that the Lycoris Recoil spin-off novel passed 100,000 sales, before it was released yesterday in Japan. According to Komatsu-san, the novel includes scenes that weren’t in the anime. Check his article for images and more information!

Yuri Live-Action

Komatsu-san also has the scoop on the cast and key visual for the live-action Oshi ga Budokan Ittekuretara Shinu (If My Favorite Idol Made It To The Budokan I would Die.) The casting looks great.

Yuri Doujinshi

Yuni, creator of I Love You So Much, I Hate You, (which is available from Yen Press) has a new doujinshi from this month’s Comitia. Because Comitia is for original work, it gets a lot of good original doujinshi…which I why I always include it under Yuri events!) You can buy FAKE IT, and tons of other doujinshi on Melonbooks, through a buying service like Tenso.

Other News

Ogata Megumi, voice of Tenoh Haruka/Sailor Uranus, has a role as the voice of an AI named Solon, in the live-action drama Teen Regime, now on NHK. You can watch Episode 1 in dub or sub on NHK’s site for the series. It’s pretty intriguing and M, is spot on for Solon’s voice, as her range allows her to be a lot of things.

Tamsyn Muir’s Nona the Ninth is hitting shelves soon, so, Meet the Real-World Rude Lesbian Swordfighter Behind Gideon the Ninth.
