Yuri Anime
We said goodbye to the last season and now we face a….no, no, there’s no way Momentary Lily would jut let us move on that easily. And so, there is one. more. episode to watch. It is certainly about intense, if nonsensical, emotional relationships between girls, so, sorry, it is required homework. Go with grace.
In better news, the shiny new Rose of Versailles movie is coming to Netflix on April 30. ANN’s Alex Mateo has the details. I know I’m pretty excited about it. We’ll have French food for dinner. Expect high ridiculousness from me about this. ^_^
Finally, on to new things! Rock Is A Lady’s Modesty has arrived on HIDIVE and it is being received with critical acclaim. The Okazu Discord was buzzing last night and Anime Feminist’s Vrai Kaiser has high praise for this mix of Class S aesthetic and girls’ band stuff….and Yuri.
Via Zack Davisson, the original 1990’s Sailor Moon anime is on Amazon Prime. If you haven’t watched it ever, and have Prime, this is a great time to boggle at the monsters of the day back in the 90s.

Yuri Manga & Comics
Yen has a few license announcements for us and ANN’s Alex Mateo has all the info! First up, is the manga for Rock Is A Lady’s Modesty, and the anthology comic for the Lycoris Recoil series. The third one, Muromaki’s “100 Yuri Situations” comics (#百合シチュ101 ) on Twitter has been collected and licensed. I know I read it, but somehow it slipped through the cracks here and I never reviewed it. It has been licensed by Yen as Lilies Blooming in 100 Days. I humbly suggest that “in” be replaced with “for”.
Sasayakuyouni Koi wo Utau offers us this voiced comic covering the days after the school festival as Aki and Shiho repair their relationship and become a couple.
S.I.R. , a “GL Motorcycle Jousting romance” by Fell Hound and Eleonora Bruni is up for pre-order, and will be hitting shelves in June. You bet I have pre-ordered a copy! ^_^
Mage and Demon Queen creator Color-LES is pleased to introduce her patrons to “Leina and Aisha, the main characters of my upcoming GL/ Yuri manga【Detective Reaper Morrigan】” Keep an eye out for that!

They describe this as a collection of “4 yuri stories by Team ANPIM, featuring women who are 23 years and older!

Studio Élan has a few announcements as well. A Tithe in Blood is getting a full Japanese translation as well as full Japanese voice acting on release. That’s all kinds of cool. Their Upwards Rain, “The post office of farewells,” is getting a Steam release in July. Our Home, My Keeper now has a playable demo on Steam, as well.
