Yuri Anime 

We have a key visual and an official X account from the upcoming Amayo no Tsuki (雨夜の月) / The Moon on a Rainy Night anime. ANN’s Crystalynn Hodgkins has the details.

New Arc: There’s No Freaking Way I’ll Be Your Lover! Unless… ~Next Shine~ is up on Youtube and already has over 120K views. The original series is staying up on the It’s Anime powered by REMOW channel until January 5th.

Via Sr. YNN Correspondent Luce, Nozomi has put the complete Revolutionary Girl Utena television anime up on Youtube. It may be region-locked, so if you are outside the US, let us know if you can watch it. 

Via Sr. YNN Correspondent Sean Gaffney, ANN’s Alex Mateo has the news that the new Magical Lyrical Nanoha franchise anime Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha EXCEEDS Gun Blaze Vengeance will debut in summer 2026. Crystalyn Hodgkins provides a promo video and cast news.

Yuri Manga

Via Sr. YNN Correspondent Matt Marcus, a new Yuri/GL/Baihe imprint has been announced by Crossed Hearts, GLAM BEAT. On X, they say of this imprint that it is “devoted to women-driven stories that are intimate, bold, and unapologetically romantic.”

Joana Cayanan on ANN has the news that A Ninja and an Assassin Under One Roof manga will be ending with the 7th volume.

On Shonen Jump Plus, Kashima Ayunari has a one-shot that isn’t Yuri,  but is really interesting and Yuri-adjacent about a woman who has a friend who just doesn’t seem to change with the years. Check out Meh-chan no Himitsu online in Japanese. 

Somehow, Kuzushiro has *another* manga. This one is a one-shot (thanks David for the clarification) on Kuragebunch, which I presume is the online arm of Comic Bunch. Gintama no Kachi o Ageru Houhou (銀玉の価値を上げる方法) is about the friendship between Yoshioka Mito , an honor student who aspires to be a doctor, and Saiga Rei, a “low-ranking” gal.
