Yuri Manga

Galette Vol.5  Special English Edition Kickstarter has cleared the final stretch goal with 3 days left to go. Selected back issues of the booklets have been made available, as well. These are selling out and, as they have said in updates, there are no plans to reprint them. So nab what you can while you can.

I believe this is the first of the issues to reach the final stretch goal, so congratulations to Galette, and to us!^_^

Kinokuniya is offering a special edition of Girls x Vampire Doujinshi by Mikami Teren (No Freaking Way I’ll Be Your Lover, Unless…!) and Minori Chigusa (Shino and Ren).  I admit, I would never have expected to see something like this advertised, ever, at a Kino, much less published by them. ^_^ (Also…is Kino entering the publishing space? Remind me to do a round up of all the publishers we’re seeing in Yuri and Baihe in English right now.)

Via Seven Seas, Becoming a Princess Knight and Working at a Yuri Brothel Vol. 5, the final volume of the series, is out now.

Watashi o Tabetai, Hito de Nashi, Volume 11 (私を喰べたい、ひとでなし) is up on the Yuricon Store.

Haru no Hikari ni Nomarete mo (春の光に呑まれても) by Nishina is story about two girls who find themselves and each other through photography club. This Comic Yuri Hime series is out now as a collected volume from Ichijinsha.

Via Manga Mogura on X, non-binary Yuri Pale Blue-Green Colored Saudade has been licensed in French. You can check out the original Japanese on Comic Walker.

Via The Comics Beat‘s Christopher Chiu-Tabet, we have news of Blüdwire from Mad Cave Studios. This dystopian queer comic is a story about two female sex robots who go rogue. Sound right up my alley. ^_^

Yuri Anime

Via ANN’s Joanna Cayanan we have cast news and a premiere date for the upcoming Young Ladies Don’t Play Fighting Games anime!

In my travels around X this morning I came across a few Yuri anime celebrating their booths at Anime Japan. This Monster Wants to Eat Me, There’s No Freakin Way I’ll Be Your Lover…Unless! and I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day all have a presence at this event! I attended this event at Big Sight once – it was overwhelming and amazing.

Joanna Cayanan also reports a cast announcement for Episode 12 of the Roll Over and Die anime.

I know it’s not Yuri, but the Major always has a place here: The new Ghost in the Shell anime key visuals and promotional videos are on ANN, with Alex Mateo reporting in. I’m actually quite interested in how Science Saru is animating the manga.

Girls Love Fest is on tomorrow, March 29 at Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center Hamamatsucho-Kan. If you miss this one, GLF will be back at the Ota-ku Sangyou Plaza PiO in June.
