Yuri Anime
We have news at last about the broadcast date for I’m In Love With The Villainess anime. From the Official WataOshi Twitter feed, it will be airing on Japanese TV on October 2, with a special ticketed premiere in late September. I will be speaking with inori.-sensei in early September for Yuricon 2023 and I hope we’ll get some insight into the anime. ^_^
Do check out the English-subtitled I’m In Love With The Villainess trailer, on Crunchyroll’s YT channel.
Yuri Manga
We have a couple of great upcoming titles on the Yuricon Store!
Let’s start off with the much-anticipated Volume 3 of She Loves To Cook, She Loves To Eat, which will be headed our way in October!
As a reminder – one of the do not miss books of the years, The Moon on a Rainy Night, Volume 1 is hitting shelves in September. Trust me, you want to read this manga by Kuzushiro. Along with She Loves To Cook, I have been buying this as a digital to get the new volumes right away, until I can get a print copy. I’ve been reviewing it on Okazu. I’m re-reading the print right now and holy crap is this a good book.
Amongst Us: Soulmates by Shilin is out from Seven Seas. This is the current-time AU of her webcomic Carciphona. Her art is stellar and the characters cute as they bicker. ^_^
The final volume of Ari North’s gorgeous webcomic Always Human, Love and Gravity: A Graphic Novel is out and in the world. I loved this series so much as a webcomic and am delighted to have it as a 2-book series!
Sasayakuyou no Koi wo Utau, Volume 8 (ささやくように恋を唄う) was full of drama in the best way.

This might not be to everyone’s taste, but Hakyoku Yuri Anthology – Setsuna (破局百合アンソロジー セツナ) has the focus of catastrophic Yuri relationships. Whee!~ You can get it in Japanese on US Kindle as well.
While I was looking up the above collection I found a pile of Yuri anthologies I’d never hear of on US Kindle:
Flower: A Yuri Anthology [sic] by Ferra Tenzin, stood out because it appears to be in English. No idea of the content, specifically, but it looks like a self-published book of short stories.

From creator Natsuo Mutsumi-sensei’s twitter, the final stretch goal on My Date Is A Total Ike Woman is being worked on. “Voice drama and music production for “My Date is a Total Ike women” is underway. As for the music, a demo tape has arrived from the US! I’m so excited! We have asked an idol named PAiDA to sing for us.”
I am especially pleased with this choice as PAiDA was the target of a recent online hate campaign for having the nerve to envision herself as the pop idol she is. Check out her new song Future☆★Town on Youtube!
