Double the Yuri this Month with Okazu!

February 1st, 2026

February is Matching Gift Month and due to the generosity of one of our Okazu and Yuricon sponsors, all Patreon and Ko-fi sponsorships in the month of February will receive a matching donation all the way up to $1000!

This is an amazing opportunity – sponsor Yuri news and reviews, support Okazu writers and help Yuricon continue their promotion of the Yuri genre. Pre-pay on Patreon for a full year, and you’ll even get 10% off the subscription. Patreon also offers gift subscriptions, so you can buy one for the Yuri-loving fan in your life. 

To support Okazu and Yuricon during February, just set up a recurring or annual pre-paid sponsorship at Patreon or Ko-fi and our sponsor will match that up to $1000, automatically doubling your support!

Thank you to our sponsor for their generosity and to all of our Ko-fi supporters and Patreon patrons. You are all an important part of the Okazu family!

Exciting news here at Okazu! We are launching a brand new piece of Yuri research for 2025! Okazu Staffer Frank Hecker and I are taking a look at the way folks who watch Yuri/GL live-action series online.

We are conducting online surveys in three languages:

Give a Gift of Okazu!

November 17th, 2024

A "gift card" facsimile of the Okazu Patreon logo, featuring two women - one with short blue hair and pale skin and the other with shoulder length orange ombre hair, reading books that say in Japanese and English "Yuri'. Patreon has a new feature that I want to share. You can now give an Okazu patronage as a gift to someone else.

Maybe you know someone who loves our Yuri news report or enjoys all of our reviews and you know they would love to be part of the Okazu team. Now you can make that happen for them as a gift!

Gift membership works the same way a regular patronage does – you have a choice of monthly or annual support. Annual support allows you to save a little bit, as well.

Okazu patrons are part of the team that brings you the Yuri coverage we provide here. You’re helping Okazu content to remain free for everyone, and stay ad-free. Your support goes to paying our writers a better wage and helps us support Yuri creators both directly through their crowdfunding and indirectly through purchase of their works.  Your support allows us to do event coverage, guest and staff reviews, interviews, videos and more!

Thank you for being  – and helping others to become – part of the Okazu family!





Health hiatus for Okazu

October 19th, 2024

Hey everyone, you may have noticed that reviews have slowed down a bit. I’ve been struggling with my health this month and don’t have the energy to read, much less write or edit. I hope to feel better soon, but in the meantime, please help yourself to 22+ years of reviews to fill up your Yuri needs. ^_^
