Yuri Events
Girls Love Fest is happening in mere hours in at the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial and Trade Center Hamamatsucho Building, Minato-ku, Tokyo. This is GLFes 43, so congrats to the GLFes organizing committee for that, Wow.
The Queer and Feminist Perspectives on Japanese Popular Cultures symposium is accepting submission for presentations! This was a wonderful experience, so definitely send in your proposals – don’t worry if you’re not “academic.” The audience was super welcoming and supportive.
Not an event, but I wanted to share a few pictures from my trip to NYC yesterday, where I was able to visit the Midtown Kinkonukiya. It is *so* Yuri! The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn’t A Guy At All / Kininatteru Hito Ga Otoko Janakatta was featured on every floor. I had literally finished Volume 3 in Japanese the night before, but picked up another copy so I could get the standee. Yes, I am that otaku. ^_^
I saw this shelf tag and said, “We won.” ^_^ It says in Japanese Yuri Manga, and in English Girl’s Love/ Yuri Manga. I can’t ask for better.
Additionally, they now have signed copies of my book at The Ripped Bodice in Brooklyn, NYC, so if you are in the area, pick one up! The folks there were absolutely lovely.
