I don't use this much

July 17, 2026

I always forget that I have this little news section. That's probably fine, though.

Tokyopop decided to push a bunch of releases that were allegedly scheduled for July to October, for whatever reason. I try to keep release dates updated, but sometimes publishers move them arbitrarily. Since this website is manually updated, info might not be current. As it is said... it can't be helped.

In more exciting news, a ton of new yuri and baihe licenses were announced at the recent AnimeExpo in Los Angeles. The most exciting (for me) is Seven Seas' licensing of I See You, Aizawa-san!, an incredible horror-comedy about a girl who sees ghosts and the mute ghost of a dead idol. It's one of the most popular yuri manga in Japan right now, and it's not hard to see why - it's absolutely hilarious while still being... well, horrific. And it's cute! I highly recommend it. They expect it to release in June 2027. Seven Seas also announced three baihe novels: Miss Forensics: Wo Qinai De Fayi Xiaojie by Jiu Nuan Chun Shen, and two novels by Qing Jun Mo Xiao; My Wandering Spirit Lady and Matrilocal Marriage: Ruzhui.

From Yen Press we have license announcements of The 11th Cat is Nene, about a disguised mouse girl in a land of cat girls, and Takane-san and Arashi-chan, about a quiet girl and her easily-flustered girlfriend. They've also announced Chihaya Re:Start!, which is probably not explicitly yuri, but as a girl's sports manga, might be enjoyable for himejoshi regardless.

Lastly, Kodansha will be publishing Battan's Fatale Game in English. Their previous work, Run Away With Me, Girl is one of my favorite yuri of all time, so I'm looking forward to it.

That's all I've got for now. If you have any questions or tips, please send them, as always, to webmaster@yuri.guide. I recently found out that emails to that account were being sent to spam, for some reason, so if you sent an email and didn't get a response, that's probably why, so feel free to send it again.

Yen Press Announces 2 New Yuri Licenses!

Dec. 27, 2024

Publisher Yen Press recently announced fifteen new license acquisitions for new manga and novels to be released in June 2025. Two of these are yuri! The first is Convenient Semi-Friend, a raunchy but cute Kirara series about a sheltered, innocent girl with serious anxiety whose new roommate is a massive playboy. Watch as said playboy inevitably falls in love with our protagonist, who thinks that "sefure" (sex friend) is actually "semi-friend"! It's a lot of fun and surprisingly adorable. The other is The Girl Who Wants to Be a Hero and the Girl Who Ought to Be a Hero, a new light novel series by Inori of I'm in Love With the Villainess fame! For more information, here's the original post on Yen Press's website.

I apologize for the late posting of this news; I've been busy with the winter holidays. As always, if you have a tip, shoot us an email at webmaster@yuri.guide. I hope you have a happy New Year! See you again soon!
