Top news this week is the upcoming December issue of Japanese literary magazine Eureka (ユリイカ) which will be all about Yuri, with some *amazing* contributors, including Amano Shuninta, Maria-sama ga Miteru creator Konno Oyuki, scholars Mizoguchi Akiko, (hopefully) James Welker and, gods willing, me. Keep your fingers crossed and take a look at the magazine when it comes out.
Yuri Manga
Yuri anthology Mebae (メバエ) has made it to a Volume 3 which will hit the streets in late November. I’ve just finished up Vol. 1, and while it is firmly male gaze, it had a few stories worth reading.
Yuri Hime Comics has a veritable embarrassment of Yuri riches, with a load of current and upcoming releases:
Katakura Ako’s Ashita no Kimi ni Hanabata wo (明日の君に花束を)
Himitsu no Kakera by Fujisawa Makoto (秘密のカケラ)
Humming Girl by Nakano Tomo (ハミングガール)
Hiruno Tsukiko’s 2-parter Shirogane Gymnasium, (白銀ギムナジウム) Part 1 and Part 2.

Also keep your eyes out for Minamoto Hisanari’s two new collections, Yuridori Midori (ゆりどりみどり) and, Rokujyo~hitomano Nekogamisama (ろくじょ~ひとまの ねこがみさま).
