Yuri Manga
New on the Yuricon Store, we have Naekawa Sai’s creepy fun school yokai Yuri story, Watashi o Tabetai, Hito de Nashi, Volume 10 (私を喰べたい、ひとでなし).
Also on the Store, we have Spoil Me Plzzz, Hinamori-san!, Volume 2. Volume 1 was reviewed last autumn here on Okazu by Luce.
And we have the final volume of Salvia no Bouquet, Part 2 (サルビアのブーケ（下）) Up on the Store. I enjoyed this really unfocused story of an orphan finding her place in the world with the help of the magician she interned for.
ANN’s Anita Tai has the news that The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess Manga Ends, with the last volume of the manga shipping this summer.
Galette Yuri Manga Magazine’s Kickstarter for 3rd Volume Launches on May 15 Adriana Hazra has the details on ANN. (This is a bit circular, as the tip came from me. ^_^) I’m reading Issue No. 2 now and it looks so good. I really hope we break the bank with #3. Tariffs are going to be a thing, though.
Via Yuri Navi, All the chapters of Kimi no Tame no Curtain Call (君のためのカーテンコール), written by Emoda Kiki, illustrated by Satou Shiho, are available to read for free in Japanese on Ichijin Plus.
Via Reddit, Mono’ creator Afro: The Yuri element of Kiriyama is purely for Comedic purpose. Yay?

Yuri Music
On Crunchyroll News, Komatsu-san has the scoop that Girls Band Cry anime has released a new music video, “Belle papillon”
Also from Komatsu-san, we have the news that singer-songwriter miwa has shared a Momentary Lily anime ending music video. It has to be better than the anime ED itself. I half think my recent eye troubles are from watching that mess. ^_^;
So, after being annoyed beyond redemption by the end of Aria, the only thing I still enjoy about the series is the music. Luckily for me and everyone else, Aria’s music will be getting a 3-Disc 20th Anniversary Album ARIA The BEST 2005-2025. Read the press release on ANN (because I could not be bothered to post it here. ^_^)
