The Kickstarter campaign for Vol.4 Yuri Comic Magazine Galette Special English Edition has launched and, in 4 days, has nearly 500 backers! This is a relatively short campaign, so there is only 11 days left to get this and any back issues you may be missing…until the next one. ^_^  I am so pleased to see how popular and successful these are. It really speaks to the passion of global Yuri fandom.

Yen Press has posted the cover reveal for Love Bullet. ‘Bout time. ^_^

Via Comic Natalie, a new series is beginning in the December issue of Comic Yuri Hime about a “rental girlfriend” who falls for a female customer, “Kimi no Sei Nandakara, Sekinin Totte yo ne.” by Touma and a bonus Futari Escape chapter to celebrate the upcoming drama series.

It’s All Your Fault, Volume 2 is up on the Yuricon Store!

We also have Project Yuriforming, Volume 1, (プロジェクト・ユリフォーミング), about an alien who wants to bring Yuri to everyone on earth!

The Lying Bride and the Same-Sex Marriage Debate, Volume 1 is also up on the Store and is on the to-review pile.

Baiheverse has launched a new comic by CleverCool, The Mermaid I Met By Getting Fired. This is exactly what it sounds like. ^_^

Other News

I have been insanely busy these days, juggling a number of projects. The upcoming ANN Manga Guide will have a number of reviews by me, and I’m also reviewing a couple of series for them, including Baki The Grappler.

I’m going to be working on several titles for Manga Mavericks as editor. I cannot *wait* to get started on those. FISHGOD, by chlona, Sinbad by Atsuji Yamamoto and Horon of the Closed Country by Sen.

I’ll be doing several panels and book signings coming up at Y/Con, November 15-16 in Paris, France. I hope to see many of you there! I also have other class presentations I’m working on, but I will keep doing my best to give you more Yuri than ever before here on Okazu!
