Super short report today.
Yuri Manga
The Asagao to Kase-san official Twitter feed noted that Kase-san and Apron, the fourth volume of the series in English will be on sale on February 20th!
Yuri Anime
Via Comic Natalie, we have key visuals from merryhachi’s “ecchi comedy” Yuri series, To Lie Angle anime. By “comedy,” they mean that girls fall in inexplicably awkward ways, so you get to are forced to look up their asses, at their crotches and down their shirts repeatedly. I have no doubt it will be popular, but that makes 3 series in a row from Comic Yuri Hime which make me wish to vomit. The amazing thing is – there’s plenty of good stuff they could choose, but clearly they believe that the only people interested in Yuri anime are bottom-feeders.
LGBTQ News
The key visual for the live-action television miniseries for Tagame Gengoroh-sensei’s manga series Otouto no Otto, sold here as My Brother’s Husband, is up on the NHK site for the series! It looks great and I think I might be able to catch an episode while I’m in Japan (if the hotel has this station. ^_^) The series will star former sumo wrestler Baruto Kaito as Mike. Thanks to YNN Correspondent Mudakun for the heads up!
Other News
Hollywood Reporter has a really interesting article about the $100 million Crunchyroll is currently pumping into the anime industry. As I have repeatedly said, when we contribute money to the ecosystem of anime and manga, everyone benefits.
Did you catch NBC sports describing Sailor Moon to the USA television audience? Figure skater Evgenia Medvedeva is a huge anime fan, and has previously skated as Sailor Moon. During her profile, they showed her Sailor Moon routine and Usagi’s transformation scene, while the commentator told the world who she was. It was squeeworthy for this household. ^_^
