Standing next to large blue block letters that read 'YNN', in blue silhouette, two women face each other. One wears a fedora and masculine-styled attire, one is in a dress and heels. Their body language is obscure - they may be dancing, or laughing or fighting. Art by Mari Kurisato for Okazu Yuri Manga in English
