Live Action News
YNN Correspondent Bea P. found yet another fun Yuri-ish live action series! She writes in to say:
Yuri Manga
YNN Correspondent Emily H wants us to know that Yuri anime (and my Best Yuri Anime of the Year twice) Simoun is streaming on Hulu.com. If you missed this amazing series when it was released, do go watch it now. It’s absolutely terrific.
And thanks to YNN Correspondent Cryssoberyl for the heads up that the upcoming Sabagebu! anime is going to be well worth our time. I enjoyed the manga quite a bit, so I’m looking forward to the anime! (And the manga is getting a 2-issue shounen-style spin-off in Morning magazine, which I’m hoping might up the Yuri a bit.)
Yuru Yuri‘s next OVA is getting a theatrical release in Japan in late November.

Other News
Scholar Sophie Winter is continuing her series on depictions of women in comics with Realism versus idealism: sources find different ways to female empowerment in comic book culture.
Former Takarsienne Higashi Koyuki and her wife Hiroko, the two women who had their ceremony at Tokyo Disneyland, were featured on a on Japanese TV show about married couples . The trailer is notable for referring to them as 婦 婦, wife and wife. ^_^ I’d love for that term to enter the vernacular.
