Again, I intended to talk about something else today, specifically, Sailor Moon Eternal, but I have a fever and I have Mechademia at barely awake o’clock tomorrow, so I’m taking another day off.

Meet James Welker, Verena Maser and myself online at Mechademia for Transporting Yuri Across Borders  June 5 21:00 JST (8 AM US EST, 1PM BST). I’d love to see familiar faces in the virtual audience!

I said in yesterday’s review that today’s would be intense, but I lied. Today, I am reading I’m in Love With the Villainess, Volume 3, which is out in digital for at last! Yay! Feel free to tell me your thoughts in the comments! All praise for Dorothea will be welcomed.

And, of course I will be watching Sailor Moon Eternal on Netflix tonight. My least favorite arc of the entire story, but if I get a couple of good Haruka x Michiru moments, (and I think I might) it will have been worth it. ^_^

See you tomorrow. I got Yuri to do. ^_^

I have hit a snag in reviews due to the number of prose materials I am chugging through.

Right now I’m reading these 4 books:

Yuri Bungei Novel Contest Selection (百合文芸小説 コンテスト セレクション) from Pixiv and Comic Yuri Hime which I picked up in 2019 (yeah, it’s taken me this long to get to it,) a collection of short stories, which is really original and fascinating, Watashi ha Ongaku de Naguritai (わたしは音楽で殴りたい) by Yuruico Vraisravana, a self-published Yuri Novel I picked up at Comitia a number of years ago (even longer ago, yep.)

And I’m also working my way through The Tyrant Cormorant Baru by Seth Dickinson and The sixth Murderbot novel, Fugitive Telemetry by Martha Wells dropped today. So, my reading of manga is crawling along in between all of this prose. I should be back on track by next week. In the meantime, let me assure you – all of these books are great!

If you ever wonder what I’m currently reading, I have an Instagram account (@OkazuYuri) on which I document that very thing in a completely random fashion. ^_^

Gotta go get reading!

Thanks very much to Lynzee for giving me a chance to talk about Ride or Die on Anime News Network.

I’m not in the habit of hitting them up for space, but this series is important to me and I wanted someone with experience with the manga to review it, so I offered my services. AFAIK, this is my only review there in all these years. ^_^

If you have an account for the forums, drop a line and let me know what you think!
