With today’s review, I am caught up with Galette magazine! Galette No. 34 (ガレット) was a wonderful issue, which made me just that much happier. 

In no particular order, I really enjoyed,Nehohariko22’s “Torokeru Heya no Naka”which is a ridiculous story and a ridiculous premise, but I like it anyway, as a girl let’s classmate crash at her place because she doesn’t want to lose contact with her, and the guest finds that her classmate is actually a popular and successful writer or erotica. This story is also featured on the mini-clearfile that came with this volume and Mimi’s Owari Sazanami,” about two friends suddenly really realize how they feel about one another.

Kitta Izumi and Momono Moto’s “Liberty” is back! With a time skip. It works, honestly. The story had gotten caught in a corner with itself and skipping forward a couple of years frees it up to end with joy. I wholly approve.

Morinago Milk came in with “Himitsu no Recipe” bring us just about to or to the end of the second volume (I’m too lazy to check) and “Watashi no Kawaii Neko-chan” in which chronic anxiety is still the major plot point, but still Reina is now addressing her hypersomnia, so it’s time for Yuna to, hopefully, build her business. 

Yorita Miyuki’s “Houkenshitsu no Ano Onna” has done a 180, as we learn that Tsukino-sensei has been watching Yukino-sensei all this time.

Sakuraya Yukino offers her continuing maid story, and Nakato Nui’s not-creepy doll, but still creepy doll story continues, as well. Inui Ayu gets a center color page for her story about a girl who contracts with a cool, masculine woman for a “date,” in order to try and get used to the idea of dating a boy, but she falls hard. The pages of this volume are filled with the 140 character stories, and another novelette chapter and Yuri’kko Research column, celebrations of Galette‘s 8th anniversary and the English-language volumes, for a very satisfying 34th issue. 

I never less than thrilled that this magazine has survived this long and I look forward to another year of creator-owned, crowd-funded Yuri fun with the folks at Galette WORKS.
