Yuri Manga

Huge news this week, as the folks behind quarterly, crowd-funded Yuri manga magazine Galette have announced an upcoming Kickstarter for an English language edition! Sign up now on Kickstarter to get updates and be informed when the Kickstarter launches. This is big news, as the magazine features some veteran creators, like Yorita Miyuki, Morinaga Milk and Hakamada Mera.

Galette is currently crowdfunded in Japanese on Pixiv Fanbox, I hope they open an English-language ongoing option for support. Fanbox is available in English as well. (Although Pixiv is a morally questionable company, management having been accused of sexually harassing employees.)

Sheep Princess in Wolf’s Clothing, Volume 3 is on shelves now. Grab the next volume of this furry, Yuri, fairytale from a link on the Yuricon Store!

Looking for something a little less cute? Otherside Picnic manga, Volume 11 might scratch that itch, with the Mountain Ranch and cult of Satsuki Uruma followers. Guest reviewer Sandy Ferguson caught us up to date in his review of Volume 10.

Adult Life can be complicated, as Haru and Hina learn in Throw Away the Suit Together, Volume 1, which hit shelves this month.

Yuri Light Novel

It was my genuine pleasure to read and review The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady, Vol. 7

Yuri Games

Via zhufree on X, Steam has a “ new #baihe game which lesbians made for lesbians“! 永日的凝视-The Gaze of The Eternal Sun is currently in Chinese only, although zhufree says the creators would like to do an EN translation, but do not have the money to do so.

Other News

Unseen Japan ( a recommended site to follow on the social platform of your choice) has the news that Netflix is launching the very first same-sex dating show in Japan, called The Boyfriend.

And in a completely bonkers decision, the folks behind Lycoris Recoil are dragging NFTs from their grave to auction off. According to the announcement, a “portion of the money will go to the creators in charge.” The auction site is pretty slow to load. A quick summation of the response was captured beautifully by this poster, who said, “I’d rather have a second season than an art auction.”

Overseas response seemed to be pretty negative, while Japanese response was split a little more evenly.

On a happier note, Netflix has posted the Sailor Moon Cosmos trailer to Youtube and Kodansha has announced a box set for the first 6 volumes of anniversary manga of Sailor Moon. Rafael Antonio Pineda has the details on ANN about that.

Kenichi Sonoda (Gunsmith Cats, Riding Bean) was awarded an Inkpot Award at San Diego Comic- Con to recognize the impact he has had on his industry. Joseph Luster has the news on Crunchyroll.

Via Yuri Navi, the manga series Hana wa Saku, Shura no Gotoku (花は咲く、修羅の如く) by Takeda Ayano and manga artist Mushu, currently being serialized in Ultra Jump magazine, will be made into a TV anime. This is about a girl whose love of reading brings in friends as she helps out with her school’s broadcasting club. Looks to be a nice everyday slice-of-life, cute girls doing cute things cutely, anime. I’m all for that.
