Yuri Manga in Japanese
Speaking of series I fell way behind on, I not only have to add the remaining volumes of this, but also update old links, but Kimi no Tamaenara Shineru, Volume 10 (姫のためなら死ねる) is now on the Yuricon Store. Those of you enjoying Kuzushiro’s Amayo no Tsuki (雨夜の月) , might be entertained by her interpretation of Heian court life, with diarist Sei Shonagan as a NEET blogger and Murasaki Shikibu as her buxom rival.
Watashi no Oshi ha Akuyaku Reijou., Volume 8 ( 私の推しは悪役令嬢。) manga tackles Yu’s arc with some amazing writing and art.
This series has been halted, and it’s digital only, but Monomo Moto and Izumi Kitta’s Liberty, Volume 2 (リバティ) is up on the Store, because it’s been sitting in my to-go-up list for a long time and I wanted it off there. ^_^
Japanese manga creator Aneido held a successful Kickstarter to publish their 18+ Yuri ero-horror manga, The Murderer And Her Runaway Desire in English and now you can download that comic directly from Aneido-sensei’s digital store.
Speaking of creator-owned work translated into English, via Natsuo Mutsumi-sensei, who gave this glowing praise, King Kurasaki is running their first Kickstarter to translate their Yuri manga,君と夏の音:You and the sound of Summer, into English! There’s almost 2 months left for this, so I’ll remind everyone gain, but I know I’d like to see this make it.
Aishitabun Dake Aishite Hoshii-! (愛したぶんだけ愛してほしいっ！) tells the story of a girl waiting for her prince on a white horse, who falls for a prince-like woman.
Galette, No. 27 (ガレットNo.27) is up on the Store. Sadly, Galette no longer appears to be available on US Kindle, but they are definitely still available through Bookwalker.
Mikaunji’s story of random couples continues with Fuzoroi no Renri, Volume 8 (不揃いの連理). Read it in English as Assorted Entanglements, from Yen Press!
Queer Comics
Via long-time friend of Yuri, Niki Smith, she wants you to all know about Succulent: Trans-Inclusive Sapphic Comics on Kickstarter! The campaign page describes it this way: “Succulent is a lush collection of sapphic erotic comics. Twelve tales which are hot, humid, and above all, dirty.” With more than a week to go, this comics is only a few hundred dollars from it’s goal and is almost certainly going to make it, so jump on into the loam! ^_^
Anime News
Along with the live-action movie, Yamashita Tomoko’s Ikoku Nikki is also getting a television anime. Presumably all this attention comes from this series having been names best manga of 2023 in DaVinci magazine. Crystalyn Hodgkins has the details on ANN.
ON This Week In Anime, Nick, Chris, Lucas and Steve ask Is The Anime Girl Band Era Here? and the answer seems to be “Yes!” Some of my favorites are called out, including Hello Melancholic, but, what? No K-On!?

Explore House Chavez’s shadowy hallways and navigate the mysteries within.”
Other News
Clover DeMerrit has offered up an interesting look at From Takarazuka to Terayama: The influence of queer theater on Revolutionary Girl Utena. Some of it may be familiar to readers here, but the whole has a lot of new information that I certainly did not know! It’s a great read, and I’ll be adding the link to our Yuricon Resources page, for sure.
