Yuri Cafes & Collaborations

Starting off the new year with another I’m In Love With The Villianess event, we have the Watashi no Oshi ha Akuyaku Reijou Maid Cafe at Pure Cafe in Chiyoda-ku in Tokyo, through January 28. The cafe even has a promotional video you can watch on the cafe’s Twitter account.

In the “things I did not predict I would be writing about in 2024,”category comes this collaboration by Sukera Sparo’s Lip Trip and Soup Curry Kamui collaboration. The collab event is over now, but it’s important to remember it happened, so we all don’t think we hallucinated it. ^_^

Yuri Anime

Discotek announced the license of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A‘s in high def. I’m holding out for StrikerS, which never got a release back in the day.

Yuri Audiobook

I’m In Love With The Villainess Audiobook, Volume 3 came out this week – I’m about 2/3 finished with it. It begins the Nur arc and I really think narrator Courtney Shaw does a fine job, except for some of the name pronunciations, which I do not think is her fault. She’s got a few voices  that are simply excellent.

Shoujo Beat is asking for suggestions of their shoujo manga folks want to see back in print on Twitter.

Via YNN Correspondent Frank H, Cambridge Press has a new translation of the “complete” works of Sappho. As most of you know, we have a lot of fragments of her works and not much complete poetry. There is also an audio version available, which I bet is pretty cool.
