Yuri Manga
We’ve added a bunch of stuff to the Yuricon Store!
Ratana Satis’ Pulse, Volume 3 , Volume 4, Volume 5, Volume 6 and Volume 7 to complete the series are now all out or available for pre-order.
Boyish², Vol.2 is the second volume of this successfully kickstarted “butch x butch anthology” and is now available for pre-order. The first volume was lovely. This second volume includes artists from in and outside Japan, that’s always exciting. This is available in both English and Japanese.
This May will see the final volume of Hara Yuriko’s school series Cocoon, Entwined, Volume 6 from Yen Press. Her short story collection Out Of The Cocoon (アウト・オブ・ザ・コクーン) is available in Japan, which includes sequels following Hana and Youko post-series.
Yodokawa’s Monthly In The Garden With My Landlord, Volume 2 is headed our way this month. This romantic comedy is a lot of fun. I’ve reviewed the first three volumes of the series in Japanese here on Okazu.
Arai Sumiko’s Kininatteru Hito Ga Otoko Janakatta, Volume 2 (気になってる人が男じゃなかった) is out now to great acclaim.
Shikabane to Ai ga Omoi Seikishi no Toubatsu Gakuen Life, Volume 1 (しかばね少女と愛が重い聖騎士の討伐学園ライフ) is a school life fantasy of a holy knight and a zombie and a mystery that may be better off unsolved.
