More huge news in Yuri, this time from Thailand. The official trailer for Pink Theory GAP The series is up on Youtube and…it looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun. Think a Yuri Devil Wears Prada with a side of social consciousness. This will be the first all-Yuri live-action in Thailand and based on the numbers I’m getting on my Okazu post about the series and the numbers that trailer is getting…I think it’s likely to be a big hit, which may blow the door open for Yuri in Thailand. The book it is based on was originally digital-only but has recently gone to print and it looks like there’s a volume 2. GAP : ทฤษฏีสีชมพู on ARN Books, by chao_planoy.

Yuri Light Novel
I’m in Love with the Villainess: She’s so Cheeky for a Commoner, Volume 1 is headed our way in February 2023. This is presented as the same story from Claire’s perspective, but I assure you that it is not just the same thing all over again. There is quite a bit of new content, as well as seeing things from a number of different perspectives. Part 7 of this series only recently landed on inori-sensei’s Pixiv Fanbox and all I can say is that I it was very emotional.
Yuri Visual Novel
Studio YuriEureka has changed the release data for their Yuri Visual Novel Kiss the Demiurge to December 2 and hopes you’ll bookmark the Steam page!

Reads Rainbow offer us a Twitter thread of sapphic books that are not YA.
Shelby Tozier brings us Toy Discoveries from “Saban Moon” over at ANN.
This week comics and cartoons have lost of number of people, but the one that hit me the hardest was Kevin Conroy, best known for his portrayal of Batman/Bruce Wayne since Batman the Animated Series (which, legit is the only Batman I have ever enjoyed.) To celebrate his life and his experiences as an out gay man, DC is offering up the entirety of the Pride 2022 anthology free for you to read. This includes Conroy’s story “Finding Batman.” Sign up on the DC site and read! He will be missed by many.
To balance out some loss, let’s end today’s report with a note of recognition. Manga creator Moto Hagio has been awarded one of Japan’s highest honors, the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with neck ribbon, for her contributions to women’s and girl’s manga. Alex Mateo has the news at ANN.

I can’t believe I slept with you v3 is the last volume, ending sweetly, if inconclusively — none of the mysteries around the landlady are explicitly explained, though much is implied. Both characters seem healthier at the end.
Good to know, thanks!
