Yuri Manga

Still catching up on the Yuricon Store, but here’s a start. Definitely don’t miss the concluding volumes of two of my favorite Yuri manga! Catch These Hands, Volume 4 brings this charming dysfunctional adult series to an end.

For folks looking for sensitive and caring aro/ace representation, I hope you all picked up Doughnuts Under A Crescent Moon, Volume 4, because that series really nailed the ending.

And for once I am pre-emptively declaring a birthday celebration for myself. The Moon On A Rainy Night, Volume 1 comes out in English from Kodansha on my birthday and I want you all to read it and write in the comments of my review of it what you think! I’m reading Volume 4 now in Japanese and it’s just so good.

Arai Sumiko’s Kininatteru Hito Ga Otoko Janakatta (気になってる人が男じゃなかった) hit shelves last month in Japan. This manga got it’s start on Twitter and became very popular quickly. It’s about a woman who mistakes another woman for a guy and falls for “him.”

Via YuriMother, we have news that Run Away With Me Girl, Volume 3 has hit shelves this month.

And for those of you interested in There’s No Freaking Way I’ll be Your Lover! Unless…, Volume 1, the collaboration between Teren Mikami and Eku Takeshima, Sean Gaffney has reviewed it and noted the possibly problematic bits for you.

Sailor Moon News

I’m sure everyone has had a chance to watch this, but if you haven’t, be frustrated by the gorgeous Sailor Moon Cosmos trailer, which means that Toei made the exact same mistakes this time that they did the first time around – cheaping out and rushing the first two seasons, with not-great directors, then having a decent director and a teeny more money for Season 3, then spending a ton of money on Seasons 4 and 5. Maddening, isn’t it?  ^_^;
