Yuri Manga

Not sure I remembered to post this, so don’t forget that Hello, Melancholic, Volume 3 is out now from Seven Seas!

Thanks to Sr. YNN Correspondent Ashley, we learn that Hayashiya Shizuru has done a piece of MURCIÉLAGO fanart that is included in Volume 20! Also from Hayashiya-sensei is a 3rd installment of Yan-koi Shokudo (ヤン恋食堂　C定食) doujinshi series, available at Melonbooks.

Via Comic Natalie, I have a passel of Yuri manga announcements that I’ve been meaning to get up here:

Sachi to Yuka, Volume 1 (サチとユーカ) is out now in Japan. This Yuri love comedy about two adult women who have been friends, roommates and lovers runs in Young Bull magazine. It sounds slice-of-life-y and kinda sweet?

Sakuma-junsa to Hanaoka-junsa ha Tsukiai Hajimete, Volume 1 (佐久間巡査と花岡巡査は付き合いはじめた) is another Yuri comedy, about two policewomen dating.

Zenbu Kimi no Sei da (全部君のせいだ) is a cosplay Yuri comedy by merrihachi. I know I’ve read at least some of this, maybe it was in an anthology?

Sukina Onna no Ko ga Watashi dake Nazeka Kibishii (好きな女の子が私にだけなぜか厳しい) is a “bitter love comedy” about Hina who falls in love with perfect Honda-san. Honda is known to be kind to everyone…except, for some reason, Hina. This is running in web magazine Manga Cross.

This year in Comic Yuri Hime, we’re getting a Yuri+food+camping manga called Osoto Gohan to Issho ni (おそとごはんをご一緒に) by Hazuki. Insert “thinking face emoji” here. Not derivative at all. I want desperately to say

Yume de Furarete Hajimaru Yuri (夢でフラれてはじまる百合) is a relationship that begins with a dream. By Hijiki, this will be serialized on Takeshobo’s web magazine Gamma Plus. Warning, the “Plus” in that name seems to be indicative of breast size. Not this story, but an awful lot of them.

 
Yuri Light Novel

Sean Gaffney has reviewed Qualia the Purple over at his own blog, A Case Suitable For Treatment. I remember many people suggesting this to me when it first came out in Japanese more than a decade ago. I never did read it then, so I’m glad he has now. He does recommend it, with some reservations. Read his review and decide for yourself!

Via YNN Correspondent Milli, Tsubomi Éditions on Twitter have announced that the first chapter of The Lost Lamb, a Taiwanese Yuri novel about a young pianist, is available on their French-language Tsubomi App.

Via YNN Correspondent and Okazu Patron, Ivan V., here is a fun little article about the importance of the Internet Archive, and a hefty dollop of Sailor Moon fandom, in Preserving Memory by Moonlight, Ensuring Access by Daylight by Christina Humphreys. Also a bunch of those Senshi attack game gifs we all loved in the early 00’s, of which one lives permanently on my “Worldshaking” Fanfic site. ^_^
