Yuri Manga: Kannazuki no Miko, Volume 2 (English)
 In an epic display of overthinking things, it occurred to me that one could, if one was so inclined, consider Kannazuki no Miko Volume 1 as a story that stars Himeko, and concerns the bad choices she makes. In which case Volume 2 can equally be seen as an explication of Chikane's story and her own series...

Maria Watches Over Us Anime, Volume 2 (English)
 From the perspective of having read so far into the novels that I have already "met" Nana, Yoshino's prospective soeur, it was a huge step back to watch Volume 2 of Maria Watches Over Us, "meet" Yoshino once again, and watch her transform in front of Yumi from an apparently meek, mild and submissive...

Yuri Manga: S.S. Astro, Volume 1
 Of the three 4-koma manga with Yuri put out by Yen Press, by far and away my favorite is the subject of today's review, S.S. Astro, Volume 1. This should come as no surprise to anyone, since the characters are adults and there is at least one openly Yuri character. (For those of you who truly understand...

Red Garden Manga, Volume 3
 As I've discussed in my reviews of the Red Garden manga, Volume 1 and Volume 2, the story in the manga is mostly similar to that in the anime, with a slight emphasis on the grotesque and gothic. This trend continues in Volume 3. Herve' woos Kate while hating her, and Kate struggles with her position...

This Week in Yuri - August 9, 2008
 The first day of Otakon was a hoot, saw lots of old friends, made some new ones, and Rinu - if you want to catch a flight today, there's still a chair behind the Yuricon table for you if you want it. ;-)No news so far from Otakon, but bear in mind that I'm the last to know, stuck down in the DR without...

Yuri Manga: Yuri Hime S, Volume 5 (Part 2)
 Moving right along into the second half of Volume 5 of Yuri Hime S, we find ourselves wondering what on *earth* is going on in "Minus Literacy," now that Miharu has left her mistress Yasumi and has wandered off to go into the wide world. Yasumi, Iinchou and the kid dressed like a miko track her down,...

Yuri Manga: Yuri Hime S, Volume 5 (Part 1)
 There's definitely some good and some bad in Volume 5 of Yuri Hime S. The good gets pretty good, and the bad is - in *my* opinion - quite bad, but for some reason this volume left me feeling like it was the best so far of this LFB-focused magazine. The first story brings us full circle in Kurogane Kenn's...

Otakon, Ho~~!
 I'm off this AM to truck my car overstuffed with stuff down to Otakon where it will be my pleasure to not see the sun for three days, while I lurk in the most fun part of the con - the basement Dealer's Room.Other people go to the con for the guests, the music, the cosplay (no one goes for the anime,...

Maria Watches Over Us Anime, Volume 1 (English)
 If you've been reading this blog since anytime after 2004, you'll notice that I have completely, hopelessly, irrevocably fallen in love with the series Maria-sama ga Miteru. Like many fans, I had never heard of it prior to the anime being released, but almost immediately was captivated by the characters....

Hidamari Sketch Manga, Volume 1 (English)
 I want to start today's review off by thanking Yen Press for the copy of Hidamari Sketch that they sent me. Before I had a chance to write a review, our guest reviewer for today, Jen, wrote one that is in every way but one in complete alignment with anything I might have said. So, with Jen's permission,...

Yuri Anime: Shoujo Sect OAV 1
 The original Shoujo Sect manga was a series of very loosely connected "Plot, What Plot"-type Yuri porn chapters set in an ubiquitous girls school. While the couples depicted in each chapter may or may not have had any relationship to each other, the larger story - what there was of it - revolved around...

Vampire Princess Miyu TV Anime, Volumes 3 and 4 (English)
 Fandom is so clever that when there isn't a word for a thing, we make it up. In the case of anime fandom, we often borrow or adapt words from Japanese, just as Japanese fans borrow and adapt from English - and for the same reason, too, because it sounds cooler and creates more of an us/them dynamic,...
