These two pages were just the right yuri dosage I needed today. After Mari and Akko finally become a couple, we see the fairy-sized Akko get depressed because she doesn’t know how they can have sex! So what do they do?! They TRY to have sex! I don’t know about you, but I never thought about having sex with a giant before! Well Morinaga has given us a taste of what the foreplay is going to be like should you ever. Thanks again Morinaga…hahaha

Morinaga’s dodgy sense of humor cracks me up! Ever wonder if a mangaka or any author for that matter, projects parts of themselves in the characters they create?

If I had to choose which character best portrays myself, it would totally be Akko!! Hahahaha!

Thank you Morinaga for providing us with these extra stories to help slowly heal our Girl Friends withdrawal wounds. Thank you Dynasty Scans Reader and thank you my little imouto KARKAR!

My wonderful yuri friend Sachiko finally has her own scanlating group, Kawaii Scans, hard at work in yuri-dom! Yay! I’m pretty excited about this and wanted to share it with everyone! If you don’t know Sachiko, she has also done work for Lillilicious!! She is also a talented artist!

Please support them!

Current projects:

  • Kanamemo (yurific!)
  • Poor Poor Lips (worth checking out)
  • Rui-Rui (haven’t read yet)
  • Zettai Shoujo Seiki Amnesian (super dodgy!)

Kawaii Scans is a small group that deals with yuri or yuri related manga. It was officially formed on 10/10/10 after changing group names from “Sachiko” to better reflect the group as a whole instead of just the founder. Before that the group released 6 things under the name of “Sachiko”. ~Kawaii Scans About Me Page

I will not be blogging on episodic recaps of High School of the Dead. Instead, because I heart this series for its entertainment value, I will be blogging on my fav and not so fav scenes of each episode including highlights of Busujima Saeko. Check out a full episode recap post from Nakayo over at Yasashii Sekai here.

~~SPOILAGES~~

HOTD maintains the same chaotic-zombie-head-smashing-thrill-ride momentum as Episode 1! Except this time we get are introduced to my new favourite character of the show, Busujima Saeko!! <3<3<3

Saeko emulates badassery with a touch of wisdom, compassion, cuteness, and will not bat an eye when it comes to ripping expensive skirts…

hmmmm…..judging from the sliver of pantie we see here this is either a thong or a bikini that reveals partial bum cheeks. My guess is the latter-super pantie to not quite fit the super boinging bum. Oops…momentary yuri relapse..

Most Useful Character so far: SAEKO!!!!!!! Who do I want alongside me during a zombie invasion? SAEKO FROM CLASS 3A

Perplexed as to where I snagged these really fancy images from. Not from 4-chan for sure! :P No offense to my 4-chan patrons out there, but it’s just not the “y” in my “yuri”! Enjoy!

Quite possibly one of the most seductive classic shoujo-ai images ever! KYAAA!

Shizuma and Nagisa look like lolis in this. -_- Still a very cute image!

Doki-doki scene in the library. ::swoon::

Is this a prelude to bondage between Hikari and Yaya?! O_O

Beautifully rendered art. Reminds me of the OP of Aoi Hana.

To be able to fall asleep next to the one you love…priceless.


What are Yuri and Shoujo-ai?

difference, links, meaning, references, Shoujo-Ai, sources, what is shoujo-ai, what is yuri, Yuri

The terms yuri and shoujo-ai glaze over much of Japanese media and can easily be confused with one another as they hold different meanings to Westerns and to the Japanese as well being used in a variety of different contexts.  Everyone seems to hold a particular idea as to what both terms mean. Some view yuri to be explicit sex/hentai between women while others view it to be strictly non-sexual romantic relationships between women.  There isn’t much to data-mine online about this issue and there really are just two key sources out there and one article on Yuri Manga:

  • Yuricon.org – What are Yuri and Shoujo-ai, anyway? by Erica Friedman: Contains a brief essay on the topic in layman’s terms.

Excerpt from Yuricon:

“Here in the west, the term yuri is often, but not exclusively, used to represent explicit sexual relations between women. Shoujoai (Girls’ Love) is a pretty new term, for all that it’s a pretty old concept. The term shoujoai was created as an analog for shounenai (Boys’ Love)…by an American fan. It isn’t really used in Japan – although they know what we mean when we use it. Shoujoai is often used to refer to romantic love between girls – sometimes with sex, sometimes not. The emphasis tends to be on the romantic over the sexual, but this is a convention that was made up by Americans and has no meaning at all in Japan.

… In short, yuri is any story with women in love (or lust) with other women.”

Finally the other two are:


  • Yuri via Wikipedia: Loaded with information about yuri and shoujo-ai including further media, sources, and links.
  • Associated Content – What is Yuri Manga?: Short beginner’s article on yuri manga with no new information if you already read the above sources.

Conclusion: I much prefer the essay from Yuricon to easily sum up the differences between the two terms over Wikipedia’s more technical terms.  For me, yuri is simply “GL” or “Girls’ Love” and preferably the more romantic and realistic portrayal of women loving women – not necessarily in an explicit sense. The word yuri just sounds much more pleasant to the ears. Yuri does mean lily in Japanese after all.  (Shoujo-ai also sounds like “Showed yo eye!” LOL! -_-” Okay terrible joke! But I couldn’t resist! :P)

If you have anything to draw on this issue, please feel free to comment! I’m open to new perspectives even if I may not always agree with them! ;)
