Do you know of any manga or anime that combine the vampire and yuri genres, even
in a with-googles way?

Well, if you're prepared to apply goggles then the Vampire Princess
Miyu TV series would probably count.  (I'd recommend watching the OVAs
too; not for yuri - just because they're rather good.)  The DVDs might
be hard to get hold of by now, mind.

Carmilla id look into that its arguably the first major vampire story. Id be
surprised if there hasn't been at least some yuri done with it.

There are so many vampire manga/anime stories, but I would think that combining
yuri and vampires would be something that someone would have come up with before
now.  For example, the female vampires in "Vampire Knight," often talk about how
pure young female humans are so "yummy."  Sanami Matoh crossed vampires w/ yaoi
in her "Full Moon" manga, but that's the only yaoi-related vampire story I know
of, too.

Right now there are *three* all-Yuri doujinshi events in Japan, Girls Love Fest
(in Tokyo, here's my report:
http://okazu.blogspot.com/2011/09/girls-love-festival-report.html), Maiden's
Garden (I'll be going next November) and Yuribu (haven't made it yet,) which is
part of Comitia, a larger event.

Yuribu posted a commercial for the even on Youtube. You might want to like it
for them and let them know that there are foreign fans who wish it well!

Black Rock Shooter, Episode 1 is up on Nico Nico Douga subbed (you may need to
register, and the site is in Japanese.) If you've seen it, what did you think?

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/1328195582?via=thumb_watch

I liked it. It had a lot of similarities to Madoka in story-telling style
(including the parallel worlds/different art). Provided the tell me a whole
story and not a prelude or piece of one, I think I'll like it. ^_^

Cheers,

Erica

That last response was clearly spam. I strong recommend you do not go to any of
those links, and the person has been removed from the list.

Okashi Nako is a young woman living in poverty. When she applies to work at a
Gem store, she learns that store owner, Otsuka Ren, is a lesbian. Ren promises
that Nako's not her type, but she may be lying.... Nako takes the job and so
begins a comedic tale of rich and poor, sickness and health, for better and for
worse!

That's the PR. Here's the real message. I need your help.

Folks who are not in North America are blocked from this and I think it's a BAD
idea. I am trying to convince the folks at JManga that a globally accessible
Yuri portal would be a GOOD idea. You can help simply by contacting JManga and
letting them know what country you are from and that you would *love* to be able
to access their Yuri manga.

You can contact JManga:

On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jmanga.official

On their website: http://www.jmanga.com/contact

On Twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/JManga_official

Of course, please be polite. Express your interest in accessing Yuri manga. Even
if you get a "we can't do that at this time" email, please don't get
discouraged.

Also, fans in North America, you can help too. Send a message to JManga telling
them how you support JManga's efforts in getting Yuri to a global audience.

I think we can make this change, if we work together!

It definitely won't hurt and it may very well help.

Up until today, they were responding with "we don't have this available at this
time" but today they switched to "Due to demand, we're looking into this."

It may not sound like a big switch, but it is.

This is a good time to remind everyone that JManga isn't the decision maker in
this case, so it may be a while before anything changes, but I'm confident that
with continued pressure (in the form of requests for access) we can make our
case.

Cheers,

Erica

Hi folks,

We had an address that is spamming us yesterday. Obviously, that has been taken
care of.

If you see spam, the best thing to do is ignore it completely. I'll take care of
the email address on the back end (either by removing it or
quarantining/moderating it). I can't recall the message, but I do delete it from
our archives.

So, just ignre spam and in fact, it will go away. ^_^

Cheers,

Erica

Congrats to French Yuri fans! Taifu Comics, which has picked up Morinaga
Milk-sensei's GIRL FRIENDS is obviously doing well enough to invest more in
Yuri. They've licensed Morishima Akiko-sensei's Hanjuku Joshi:
http://www.taifu-comics.com/index.php/actualites/2012/02/10/Un-nouveau-YURI-chez\
-Taifu

(No whining that *you're* not getting this. Be positive about any gains made
anywhere in the world. Incremental growth adds up.)

JManga continues their investment in Yuri with Yamaji Ebine's Love My Life
Manga, which will debut this coming week, pending approval from the rights
holder.

Seven Seas, JManga, Taifu all are investing in a future for Yuri. Please support
them if you can. ^_^

Cheers,

Erica

Aside from the obvious set-up of Marika and Chiaki (Nadesico type/genki-type)
apparently in the original novels, Jenny and Lynn (the Yacht club president and
vice president) are a couple. In the OP, there is one group shot where Jenny and
Lynn are holding hands. Yes, one has to look carefully. (I can't believe I said
that...) Someone mentioned it to me, and I confirm that indeed, yes, that frame
does exist.

I've got the first novel in my inbox, so as soon as I have a chance to read it,
I'll get back to you, but I will say this - Jenny and Lynn pinged my Yuridar
even with no apparent anything between them. ^_^

According to Okazu comments, when the anime was announced, the directive came
down, "no romance" and the fans reacted, "Even Jenny and Lynn???" So apparently
they believe they are together.

Cheers,

Erica

Just returned from Japan, the kansai region so I had an even harder time being
understood, where I primarily did very touristy things and not many anime
things.

One thing I did do was sort out my contacts for Yuri-Rei game and when I return
to the UK and check the site to send the information I notice there has been a
massive update on the site including putting the OP on youtube:

http://youtu.be/W2SVeD_0k2Y

Seems to show some of the couples or starting relationships. If so the last
couple or the second to last couple look the most interesting from a shallow
first impression.

From the overall tone I am getting this doesn't seem to be looking too bad.

JManga is really coming through with their promise to reach out to the Yuri
audience. Today there are three new titles available!

GIRL FRIENDS by Morinaga Milk, Volume 2: http://www.jmanga.com/girlfriends/2

Love My Life, by Yamaji Ebine: http://www.jmanga.com/love-my-life

And Morita-san ha Mukuchi, Volume 4: http://www.jmanga.com/Moritasan-wa-mukuchi
(admitted light on the Yuri, but as long as the student council president is
there... ^_^)

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Erica

Are these actual real-world books, or e-manga?

http://okazu.blogspot.com/2012/02/yuri-manga-titles-available-outside.html

To give folks an idea of what's available where, I've put together a list of
Yuri manga that's available outside Japan. The list includes titles, countries
and formats available.

Please feel free to suggest titles if I've missed anything, but read the
guidelines first. I'm not adding manga that has Yuri as a side story or a fetish
or a feature. And only manga, no anime. ^_^

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Erica

Are any of those still in print? That list (as I state) is in print titles only.

If so,  send me a link to a publisher or distributor site and I'll add them.
(Just trying to keep the list focused.) ^_^

Cheers,

Erica
