I find these terms inordinately amusing (though nothing can compare to "ochoufujin," of course). In fact, the whole blog is fun to read. I recommend it! |

NHK ventures into the closet for first time with program on homosexuality.
For those of us who don't get NHK, Tokyo Wrestling has a lot of info up about the program (in Japanese only at the moment, but they do have an English-language section of their site, so perhaps they'll do a report on it in English too), and there may end up being some discussion about it at the Gay Japan News mixi community.
Have you guys all read Free Z already? Short, but it packs a punch. Warning: sad.
Preview of a manga about Yoshiya Nobuko. It's from the new women's manga magazine Malika (Mallika? It's from the Sanskrit word for "jasmine"). Apparently there's a TV drama running now based on one of Yoshiya's books, and this manga ties in with that. Note: the woman Yoshiya meets in this chapter is not her life partner (Darn! Hope she turns up later.).
According to Yuri na Hibi, the first issue of Malika also contains a prologue to Last Friends, though it's not listed on their webpage.
An interview with me.
Meant to link that sooner. Nothing terribly profound in there if you already know me. Oh, but it does remind me to link this as well: Alien Boot Camp has Talking About Amy (about yuri manga artist Takashima Rica) up to watch for free, among other things. |

Something in a recent post by archlords brought to mind a Star Trek: Voyager fic (No, don't stop reading! Hear me out!) that I love and haven't recced to anyone in a while:
In the Genes. I'm sure there are plenty of "what if there's a gene out there for homosexuality and humans decide to eliminate it" stories out there, but this one has really stuck with me for some reason. |

A fun link from Syk: http://www.omoshiroigame.com/kanjidefender.htm
I like it much better than Slime Forest. There are other games at that link too (including a kana version of Kanji Defender), but I haven't tried them yet. Some of the English defnitions aren't what I would have chosen, but that's really a minor complaint.
You can waste hours and justify it as "studying"! ;) |
