I am so honored to have had a chance to write a guest article for my all time favorite yuri publication, Okazu Yuri! My guest review is about Himegami No Miko, the fourth entry in the Kannazuki No Miko universe. And to my surprise...I really liked it? Please enjoy the article!

Saito Hajime,the captain of the third unit of the Shinsengumi(the last two are of the character from Rurouni Kenshin).Art by Japanese artist 御歌頭(okazu).

February 27th is the day of Shinsengumi in Japan,which is to commemorate the establishment of the Roshigumi,the predecessor of the Shinsengumi,on that day in 1863.

It's interesting that this anniversary seems to be based on misinformation:It is recorded in the National History Dictionary that "the Roshigumi who stayed in Kyoto accepted the supervision of Matsudaira Katamori,the Kyoto Shugoshoku,on February 27, 1863.",but it's not ture.Katamori actually took the Mibu Roshigumi,a group that splintered from the Roshigumi as the direct predecessor of the Shinsengumi,under his command on March 12th,and the group was appointed Shinsengumi in recognition of its security work during the August 18th coup.

I was checking out Okazu for the first time in a while and got jumpscared (in a pleasant way) by a link to my own post. Thanks @sean-gaffney!

No but like... considering the "renaming the band" (??) section is like, iirc, 6/8 just color + food, and that one of Jongho's "practice room rules" was "at least touch your instrument"... Ateez K-On!...

Disability Yuri Romance 'The Moon on a Rainy Night' Anime Adaptation Rumored

On Sunday, rumors about an anime adaptation of Kuzushiro's high school Yuri drama series The Moon on a Rainy Night (Amayo no Tsuki) emerged online. These rumors come only days after the domain for a potential website, amayonotsuki.jp, was first registered on October 24th.

Notable anime leaker Sugoi LITE also corroborated the rumors on X (formerly Twitter).

Kodansha USA, which has published the series in English since September 2023, describes the manga:

One rainy night, Saki is rushing to a piano lesson when she crashes into a beautiful, long-haired girl, dropping her sheet music in the process. Saki stutters an apology, but the girl simply hands back her sheet music and leaves without a word. Saki begins her first day of high school the following morning, only to find the stranger from the night before sitting at the desk next to hers. She learns that the girl’s name is Kanon and that she is not quite completely deaf, but very hard of hearing. Though Kanon needs to be close to people to read their lips, she tends to push people away with her icy demeanor. Through one kind gesture, Saki slowly begins breaking down the walls around Kanon, even as she feels something new blossoming within her.

The Moon on a Rainy Night has received positive reviews from critics and has been published in over 20 countries. Erica Friedman of Okazu described the first English volume as "a Yuri series that can and should be read by everyone." The series is celebrated for its characters, story, and disability representation. It was also nominated in the Next Manga Awards web category in 2022 and 2023.

The manga began serialization on Comic Days in June 2021, and upon release, it ranked first in the site's "original" category. Kodansha released the seventh collected volume in Japanese in June 2024, the same month that Kodansha USA released the fifth English volume.

Kevin Steinbach translates the manga into English, with lettering by Jamil Stewart.

Nishijima Hidetoshi and Uchino Seiyou — we are so damn lucky to have these two acting in the BL genre. One GLANCE, one sidelong GLANCE, a little raised eyebrow, a two-twist head shake in recognition of something. Nishijima as Shiro in his reading glasses, communicating either sympathy or murder as Kohinata apologized for the birthday flowers Wataru sent to Shiro. These guys eat rookie actors for okazu.

What Did You Eat Yesterday? has been the must-watch of this early winter season, but also? We as BL fans are getting a damn MASTER CLASS in the kind of acting we could enjoy if this genre were even more mainstream. MORE, MORE OF THESE EXQUISITE PERFORMANCES. I’m calling for a season 3, or at least a New Year’s special! GIVE ME MORE, TV Tokyo!!!!

One of the side Okazu Yokocho alleys in Torigoe, Taito-ku, Tokyo.

A retro shopping street with a downtown atmosphere.

The tenement houses and signboards where the pre-war buildings still remain are very good. It is a nice shopping street close to Shin-Okachimachi Station.
