Fantastic licensing news from Yen Press, with This Monster Wants To Eat Me, by Sai Naekawa. I reviewed Volume 7 of this series in Japanese yesterday. It’s an terrifically creepy Yuri series.

Also from Yen, we have news that The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and The Genius Young Lady, manga Volume 5 is headed our way in March.

Morinaga Milk’s adult series continues with My Little Kitten, Volume 2 from Galette magazine, which hits shelves at the end of this month.

Up on the Yuricon Store, we have LatteComis’ digital-only Oshigoto x Buddy Yuri Anthology (お仕事×バディ 百合アンソロジー) – fans of Shakaijin Yuri will like this one!

Utatane Yuu’s lovely ballroom dancing Yuri series, Odoriba ni Skirt ga Naru, Volume 4 (踊り場にスカートが鳴る) will be released in February. Check out the creator’s Twitter for a haunting promo image.

Via Yuri Navi, Rakuen Le Paradis magazine has a new Yuri comix, Hoshiutau Yoru no Umi de (星謳う夜の海で) by Shigisawa Kaya published in a special winter web issue. You can read it now online, it’s short.

 

Yuri Light Novels & Web Novels

Also out in March, we’re getting The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and The Genius Young Lady, Light Novel, Volume 6.

From creator Ayakana’s Twitter account, LN Kickin’ On Heaven’s Door, (キッキン・オン・ヘブンズ・ドア) features cover at by Rorua, who did the cover story for Comic Yuri Hime a few years ago – one that I really liked. This digital-release book is about a girl whose life is changed when she meets the school delinquent.

Via Yuri Navi, author Roka Koen announces their webnovel Minikui Futari (みにくいふたり) starting serialization on J-Novel.com, this way, “All I can say is Yuri. It’s Yuri. Drink up.”

Just to be clear J-Novel is a Japanese site and this is a JP-language book, it’s not J-Novel Club.

Yuri Doujinshi

More good news for fans of Shakaijin Yuri – over on Irodori Sakura we have two doujinshi collections by Yuriemon Working Women Yuri Manga Compilation 1: Before Dating and Working Women Yuri Manga Compilation 2: After Dating.

I need to confess something. I was a total dick about this piece of news, holding on to it until my copy was shipping, because if I didn’t get it, I would die. ^_^; Hayate Cross Blade creator Hayashiya Shizuru opened up a Skeb account for a while and was taking commissions. She’s collected these pieces of art of H x B characters and drawn a small “10 years later” comic….and sincerely that is my absolutely number 1 hook for a sequel. Make it 10 years later and I am yours. JESUS DRUG “HabuCore” Set (「ハブコレ」セット) includes the new book, Hayate x Blade COLLECTION F, and previously released Hayate x Blade Drama Archives – the comics that came with the Drama CDs. Hayate x Blade COLLECTION, a set of other doujinshi HxB comics. I have the older two, because I am a sincerely obsessive otaku about her work, so I await the new book with some anticipation.
