Yuri Events

I am a guest at Women In Comics Con at the Bronx Library Center on October 29, from 11-6. Admission is free! Rica Takashima and I will both be there.

And I’m a guest at AnimeNYC on November 18-20 in Javits Convention Center in NYC. I really hope you’ll all make plans to be there…it’s a great convention for fans of anime and manga.

Girls Love Fest is being held in the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center Hamamatsuchō on November 23.

Comitia will be held once again at Tokyo Big Sight on November 27.

I hope to all the gods that these two events are on the same week next year, too. Because that’s when I plan on going back to Japan. ^_^

Yuri Anime

Joanna Cayanan on ANN reports on The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess Anime’s 2nd Video Cast, Opening Song, and Debut.

Yuri VNs

Our friends at Aikasa Collective want you to keep an eye out for their upcoming Kickstarter: Red Rebellion! This is a “a sapphic fairy tale mashup as Robin Hood teams up with Red Riding Hood to save their town, in this yuri / lesbian historical fantasy.” Sounds fun!

Ratalaika Games and Visual Novels wants you to know about their VN A Year of Springs, which is available on the PS4 and PS5. Don’t worry if you missed the sale the games are priced pretty low. This VN explores “the stories of Haru, Erika, and Manami … a visual novel trilogy about three friends navigating their feelings of love, connection, and just wanting to belong.”

Yuri Light Novels

J-Novel Club has announced new pre-publication chapters of Yuri Tama: From Third Wheel to Trifecta about a two-timing school lotharia. (Yes, I know that “lothario” has no feminine form as a noun. It does now. ^_^)

Yuri Webtoons

Via Yuri Mother, Filipino artist Logihy has a new series called Careless x Confidential on Pinoy Comiks site Penlab. Check out Chapter 1 right now. The art is very slick.

On Color_LES’s facebook page, the creator of Mage and Demon Queen has announced Velverosa and Malori plushies!

Other News

Global Bookwalker is offering up to 50% coin back on selected titles to celebrate it’s 7th anniversary! Some Yuri titles and J-Novel club titles (sadly, not Yuri Tama) are included. Check out the sale this weekend. I picked up Volume 1 of Is Kichijoji The Only Place To Live? for 50% coin back. This was recommended by Christopher Woodrow Butcher on this week’s Mangasplaining podcast. The first chapter talks about Zoshigaya, of which I am very fond…so I was instantly hooked. ^_^

YNN Correspondent Patricia Baxter has written in to let us know of the “2022 ShortBox Comics Fair. Patricia says, “It’s a digital comics fair devoted to showcasing a large variety of brand new comics by various cartoonists from around the world. On top of the majority of the cartoonists being LGBTQ+, most of the comics showcased this year revolve around queer themes, especially sapphic characters and couples. The fair will be hosted throughout the month of October, the creators get to keep the rights to their comics, and 100% of the sales go directly to the cartoonists.” Thanks Patricia – I’ve seen a lot of good stuff popping up from this event!

ANN’s Kim Morrisy reports that Bushiroad’s New D4DJ Unit Includes Lesbian Couple. I was thinking about this and wondering if it was indeed, as Kim said, “notable,” and came to the conclusion that, yes, it is notable that the couple, no matter how fictitious or ephemeral, is notable for being announced by Bushiroad as being “lesbian.”

Via Autostraddle,  and apropos of nothing, please enjoy this video clip of Melissa Etheridge and Rachel Maddow put on the spot for a segment called “Do Lesbians Give a Damn?”

We’ll end on this feel-good moment from Thai Yuri publisher lily house with an image of their booth at a recent event! Sold out and having a great time – just the way we like our Yuri! ^_^
