Anime News
We have a lot of Yuri-adjacent, Yuri-wishful-thinking and a bit of Yuri anime coming our way this spring.
The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess Anime English Dub Cast and Premiere have been announced by HIDIVE. Alex Mateo on ANN has the details.
Alex also has more new cast announcements for Laid-Back Camp,season 3.
This Week In Anime over at ANN asks Did Birdie Wing Start A Golf Anime Renaissance? Yes, and it’s really weird that they thought we cared about the golf. ^_^ Probably the suits at the studios are all just excited about the golf part.
Ojamajo Doremi Cast Reunite for 25th Anniversary Special Show at AnimeJapan and Ken iikura-Gross has the story at ANN.
In cute girls doing things, including angst, cutely, Girls Band Cry has a new trailer for the upcoming anime. This is a CGI production and I’m going to be very interested to see what we all think of it, because the trailer is….eh.

Yuri Manga
Yen has licensed When the Villainess Seduces the Main Heroine (Akuyaku Reijou ga Sei Heroine wo Kudoki Otosu Hanashi.), which I reviewed about a year ago. There are two volumes, I have read one. ^_^ ANN’s Alex Mateo has details.
Ahead of the anime, Whisper Me A Love Song, Volume 8 heads into the Battle of the Bands…and the story behind Aki and Shiho’s uncomfortable relationship.
Via Joana Cayanan on ANN, Ms. Koizumi Loves Ramen Noodles Manga Moves to Monthly Shonen Champion Magazine in October. Staff Writer Christian LeBlanc wrote about the anime here on Okazu in 2018. Let me remind you that nothing good comes of a manga in a Champion magazine, so if you like this manga, maybe proceed with caution.
Heimin No Watashi Desu Ga Koushaku Reijou-sama o Taburakashite Ikite Imasu (平民の私ですが公爵令嬢様をたぶらかして生きていま) is a digital-only manga about a commoner who makes a living seducing the villainess, by our old friend here, Kitao Taki-sensei.
I’m going back and adding in the remaining volumes (and updating older volume listings) of Kuzushiro’s Kimi no Tamaenara Shineru (姫のためなら死ねる). Volume 8 and Volume 9 are now once again live on the Yuricon Store. This is a comedy about famous Heian authors Sei Shonagon, and Murasaki Shikibu at Heian court, but with a modern perspective. I’ll work forward and back until the series is complete. ^_^ This manga was originally translated by my publishing company, ALC Publishing for JManga back in the day. Just a historical fact about historical manga.

Via Yuri Navi, Iwakura Aria is a suspense VN following a young woman in 1933 who comes to work as a maid for a wealthy family – secrets are revealed. There are 9 possible story endings and along with animation, the story is told through hand drawn art, as well. It certainly looks interesting! Check out the trailer on YouTube.
