Shortish report today. I'm feeling kinda crappy and got stuff to do. But I promise you something extra good tomorrow in return! An interview with Fujieda Miyabi, creator of Iono-sama Fanatics and Ame-iro Kouchakan Kandan! Now on to the report:Yuri Anime
Via @giapet on Twitter, our friends at Media Blasters have relaunched their website with streaming for Ikkitousen and Queen's Blade. For you old-school anime fans, Media Blasters sort of forgot to mention to anyone that they also have released the entirety of Magic Knight Rayearth - season 1 and 2 as a set. I'm watching Season 1 right now for the first time all the way through. I'll let you know what I think when I'm done.

Yuri Manga
Shoujo Hakumei~ Nekomedou Kokoro-tan collects a bunch of the Black Cat Mansion tales from Yuri Hime and is out this week from Ichijinsha.
Also out this week from Yuri Hime is Shoujo-Holic and Yuri Hime Selection, Volume 2. If you recall, the "Selection" books are collections of the random one- and two-shots that appear in earlier issues of the magazine.

Yuri Artbook
Speaking of Ichijinsha, you gotta love how they are wringing every drop of money they can from their IP. Along with a pile of manga, they are also putting out Yuri Hime Artworks - CHRONICLE, an artbook of the color illustrations from the magazine (and, I'd presume from YHS, as well.) This is slated for July, so plan yourself a summer gift. :-)

Snatches of Yuri
Comic Lo has a series which may or may not have Yuri, but the Japanese bloggers seem to think so, anyway. Probably because the title is Hajimete no Yuri. :-)
This piece of news is for Bruce, really. God help us, but there's a 5th volume of Mikarun X. Can you believe it?

That's a wrap for this week.
