Yuri Anime
ANN’s Egan Loo has the scoop on more staff and a delay until spring for upcoming Yuri anime Whisper Me A Love Song, based on the manga of the same name (out now from Kodansha in English). Things might be delayed, but the first full trailer is in and all I can say is “wow.” I wish all anime looked that good.

Yuri Light Novel
And, while I flogging inori-sensei’s work, don’t forget that her newest novel, Yuusha ni Naritai Shoujo To, Yuusha Narubeki Kanojo (勇者になりたい少女と、勇者になるべき彼女) hit shelves in Japan this week!
On the Yuricon Store, we’ve also added the third and final volume of the Claire P.O.V. spin-off Heimin no Kuse ni Namaikina!, Volume 3, (平民のくせに生意気な！) in Japanese on Kindle in US and JP. (In case you cannot wait until this is translated into English by Seven Seas, as I cannot. ^_^)
Also up on the store is Shuu ni Ichido Classmate wo Kau Hanashi ~ Futari no Jikan, Iiwakeno Gosenen~, Volume 1 (週に一度クラスメイトを買う話 ~ふたりの時間、言い訳の五千円~) a LN about a girl who sells herself to a classmate, perhaps to hide her feelings? Probably not, but you never know.
