Yuri Manga
Hakamada Mera announced on Bluesky the launch of her two-volume series Aikata System (相方システム), available through the Galette Web site. I reviewed Volume 1 and Volume 2 when they were released by Dogenzaka Shobo. The series has recently concluded in Galette and is now available in two parts. I’ll probably get these, it’s an intense but good, series.
As I mentioned in my review this week of Oshigoto x Buddy Yuri Anthology Comic (お仕事×バディ 百合アンソロジーコミック), YURI HUB is a new imprint on Bookwalker JP that includes works by Inui Ayu, Nomiya Rion and the folks at Rainbow Port Tokyo Anchor, formerly Yuri Cafe Anchor – and some of them are translated into English! Check out the lineup, including Room For Honeys, a coffee shop romance that gives back almost half the cost in points right now.
