I want to start off today by thanking all of you who have been sending me support and good thoughts. This is my first YNN report since February and I’m keeping it short today, but it’s good to be back!

Yuri Manga

At Sakuracon, Yen Press announced the license for Maitsuki Niwatsuki Ooyatsuki by Yodokawa as Monthly in the Garden With My Landlord. I reviewed Volume 1 and Volume 2 of this charming manga and look forward to it in English!

Yen also licensed Cheerful Amnesia. I know a lot of people really liked it, but I sided with Bruce, our late friend, when he wrote his last review for Okazu on that series. ^_^;

Live Action Yuri

Via Ashley, we have a tweet from Mark Julio on a live adaptation of Young Ladies Don’t Play Fighting Games, with trailer! According to Mark, this will be on the Lemino streaming service in Japan in May.

Yuri Visual Novels

Aikasa Collective has launched a new Kickstarter for Red Rebellion, an historical fantasy romance game featuring Robin Hood and Little Red Riding Hood as they team up and fall in love! With 25 days to go, it’s about half-way, so if you can, give this indie game some love. ^_^

Studio Élan is taking pre-orders for a limited run of physical console editions of their popular Heart of the Woods Yuri VN! You can get HoW on Switch, PS4 or PS5. Pre-orders close May 21.

Yuri Voice Comic

Manga artist Natsuo Mutsumi kickstarted a successful campaign for her manga My Date Is A Total Ike Women! in Japanese and English. The final stretch goals were the creation of a voice drama for the comic and an original piece of music. Natsuo-sensei will be recruiting for non-Japanese voices, so keep an eye out for their tweets!

I’m In Love With The Villianess has also been given a voice comic reading, in anticipation of the upcoming anime. inori-sensei posted a link to it on her twitter. Also for fans of ITLV, Plang has expanded their Claire’s Birthday game- Revolution Lily – they say it has additional scenarios and illustrations. ^_^

Yuri Light Novels

Yen Press has announced the license of the print versions of Reborn to Master the Blade: From Hero-King to Extraordinary Squire. J-Novel Club has the digital editions. I really enjoyed that anime, although calling it “Yuri” would be pushing boundaries, but it is a fun series centered on young women’s friendships.
