[Nov. 20th, 2009|08:09 am] |
If you want to get Maka-Maka on sale, now would be a good time:
RightStuf is having a 40% off sale on Media Blasters stuff.
It's $12 a book (and economy shipping is only $4 total if you're in the US), which is even cheaper than Amazon.com.
Be sure you use the coupon code for the sale.
Other relevant titles included in the sale: Aoi and Mutsuki: A Pair of Queens, Girl's High, Kashimashi, Loveless, Otoboku, Seraphim Call, Simoun, Space Pirate Mito, Strawberry Panic, and F3 (hentai). Probably some other relevant titles among the hentai, too.

| Previews of Yuri Hime November tankoubon releases |
[Nov. 18th, 2009|09:01 am] |
Ichijinsha has put up previews of the books that came out today.
Just click on the title you want, then on the new page that comes up, click the green button on the far right. That will take you to a page that will let you use DHTML or Flash to view a preview of the manga.
These manga are all from the cell phone line, so expect a mix of story and sex.
In order, the titles are:
Gokujou Drops volume 3 by Hajime Mikuni
Yukemuri Sanctuary by Amano Shuninta
Otome Senshi Lovely 5! by Jounouchi Nene
Honey Quartet by Tokoro Kemeko
Sorairo Girlfriend by Rikachi
Kemeko and Rikachi's art styles weren't my thing--not for smut, anyway--but Otome Senshi Lovely 5! looks like it could be fun crack, so I ordered that one. Haven't decided whether or not to buy Yukemuri Sanctuary yet. |

Also, the first volume of a new anthology called Comic Lily is due out on October 30; the publisher is BunEnDo (the Rice River line?) and one of the contributors has said that it's shoujo-manga-ish yuri. Volume 2 is due out in December.
Meanwhile, Lily Yuri Anthology is now calling itself Yuri Shoujo, and Sakuraike has a banner up on their site with a list of contributing artists. Notables include Inoue Shinkai and Houjo KOZ (from the circle UKOZ). That one is due out on November 19. |

| A fun meme from usagiko |
[Oct. 17th, 2009|11:16 pm] |
[01] -- Go to IMDB.com and look up 10 of your TV shows.
[02] -- Post three official IMDB "Plot Keywords" for these picks.
[03] -- Have your friends guess the show names.
1. Extraterrestrial, Time Travel, Character Name In Title Doctor Who
2. Character Name In Title, Racial Discrimination, Brooklyn New York Everybody Hates Chris
3. Lesbian Interest, Lesbian Theme, Breaking The Fourth Wall Exes & Ohs
4. Superhero, Journalism, 1990s Lois and Clark
5. Egyptology, Alien, Space Travel Stargate
6. Space Exploration, Warp Engine, Phaser Star Trek
7. Clone, Family Relationships, Sleeping In Bathtub Kyle XY
8. Spaceship, Interracial Marriage, Preacher Firefly
9. Mockumentary, Beet Farm, Awkward Silence
10. First Family, Female Politician, Political Drama Commander in Chief
Number 3 is hard because there weren't many keywords. I'm sorry.
(And number 9 is not actually set on a beet farm. The other keywords were mostly either too obvious or too vague.) |

| Tadeno Eriko works on pixiv |
[Oct. 14th, 2009|11:02 am] |
Tadeno has been putting some of her older works up on pixiv. You can view her page here. You definitely need a pixiv account to view the adult manga (and you need to turn on the R18 option in the settings), but I'm not sure about the others. There are English instructions on joining pixiv here. |

From a birthday party a few years back (sophomore year of college, I think). We played "pin the rose on Utena." :D
( Silly fun. ) |

They get another thumbs up from me. I'm glad to hear that people have been requesting more yuri from them and that they're delivering it!
Info here.
(As usual, my sympathies to anyone outside the regions they're streaming it in.) |

| Some food for thought? |
[Sep. 2nd, 2009|04:55 pm] |
I put this together for myself, but maybe others will appreciate it as well, or have some suggestions of other unselfish motivations I missed.
"If someone does [unfavored behavior], they're just scanlating/fansubbing for their own ego!" is a favored insult in the community--usually on both sides of a given issue. Whether or not this is actually an insult, the question remains: Is it a fair one?
I'm going to go out on a limb and say "Unless it's someone you know well, probably not." I've put together a list of some controversial/opposing practices and some potential motivations for them, divided into "good motivation" and "bad/selfish motivation" categories:
( Cut for length. )
While I was putting together this list, I realized that I could think of unselfish motivations for every single practice on the list. The likelihood of a given motivation is another story, but at least this list will remind me that there can be good reasons for every practice on this list, even the ones I don't care for.
I suppose it would be useless to say "No flames, please," since I started it by posting this list in the first place. But try to be fair to both sides of a given issue, please? |
