sono.N teased the third SHWD volume cover on Twitter in April, but now Amazon JP has it up in full (including obi). This final collected volume of sono.N's unique take on workplace WLW with added trauma and unholy mutants hits Japanese shelves on June 15th 2023.

There is still no English-language date for this volume from the US license holder, Seven Seas, but the 2nd volume is scheduled for release on October 17th 2023 (though this has changed several times and may still change again).

SHWD started out as an indie comic lovingly shared by sono.N via print and PIxiv before getting to begin again as an online serial with Comic Ruelle. From the get-go the series struggled to find a large audience because it didn't fit neatly into existing yuri tropes. Meanwhile, its focus on relationship growth didn't make it a hit with general SF audiences either.

However, for the dedicated group of people that found something they loved in the SHWD world, it was a truly special little series.

For me, having come to the series from the original indie comics sono.N shared, the earnestness with which the author pursued telling the story and how carefully the characters were rendered... idk, it felt really raw and beautiful in a way that only indie tales can. I'll really miss it.

All I can do now is to encourage you to support the official Japanese or English language releases of SHWD when you can and to let others know about this little gem if it resonated with you too.

When sono.N has a new project I look forward to supporting it too ❤️

Independent Yuri Magazine 'Galette' Crowdfunds First English Edition

Galette, the independent creator-owned Yuri manga magazine, has successfully crowdfunded its first English edition on Kickstarter. As of writing, over 300 backers raised 3.7 million Yen (25,000 USD), more than doubling the project's initial goal of 1.8 million Yen (12,000 USD) with 14 days left in the campaign, which launched on August 2.

The project hit three of its four stretch goals, adding a book cover and new color illustrations and pages from the various contributing authors.

The first English edition of Galette includes a translated selection of titles previously published in the Japanese edition. These works are:

Liberty by Izumi Kitta and Moto Momono

The Last Winter Sun Shower (Girl Friends extra edition) by Milk Morinaga - Girl Friends is licensed in English by Seven Seas Entertainment

That Woman in the Infirmary by Miyuki Yorita

Fluffy, Fuzzy, Dreamy. by Mera Hakamada

The Girls' Arcadia by Haru Yatosaki

Sky Blue Melancholic by Ringo Hamano

I Want You to Show it Only to Me by Nekohariko 22

This is the first of seven planned English volumes of Galette. Each volume will be crowdfunded, and after all seven are released, Galette plans to publish Japanese and English editions simultaneously. Future volumes will not be published if any volume fails to meet its required funding goal.

Galette is an independent magazine that began publishing quarterly in 2017. The magazine just celebrated the launch of its 31st issue. It is largely crowdfunded through memberships, along with sales of print and digital editions of the magazine, the spinoff publications Galette Meets and Petit Galette, and publication of collected volumes and works from the magazine, including Moto Momono's The Rain and the Other Side of You (licensed in English by Digital Manga Inc.) and Milk Morinaga's My Cute Little kitten (licensed by Seven Seas Entertainment).

So, This Monster Wants to Eat Me is top-tier yuri horror, not because it's scary, but because it lets you live the dream of a hot monster girl covered in the blood of her enemies (her enemies are the other monsters trying to kill you) seductively telling you she wants to devour you alive.

Apparently this is good stuff I've been craving and just didn't know it, but now I know.

Just binged all of love bullet and I’m going insane over kanna and her little hat

Today is June 15th 2023 which means it's the Japanese release day for the third and final volume of SHWD by sono.N! Unfortunately there are no store bonuses or anything for this release, but if you want to own the conclusion to this story then it's easily worth the investment in the book alone.

It's also worth noting that the English language release date for volume 2 has jumped from October 2023 to February 2024. Who knows if it will change again.

I look forward to receiving my copy of volume 3 shortly and supporting sono.N's next project in the future.

Edit: sono.N just posted an illustration to celebrate volume 3's release!

Viral Yuri Web Manga 'The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn’t a Guy at All' Licensed in English

On Friday, Yen Press announced that it has licensed Sumiko Arai's viral web manga The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All (Ki ni Natteru Hito ga Otoko Janakatta). The first volume will be released in English in October 2024.

The publisher describes the manga:

Fashionable and upbeat high schooler Aya falls head over heels for an employee at a local CD shop. He’s got an air of mystery about him, great style, and an impeccable music taste. Little does she know—this supposedly male employee is actually her female classmate Mitsuki! Mitsuki generally keeps to herself, but since her seat is right next to Aya’s, she can’t help but be extremely aware of the other’s crush. Revealing the truth is out of the question for Mitsuki—but perhaps getting closer to Aya wouldn’t be so bad...

The popular manga was initially posted to X (formerly Twitter) in April 2022, where it gained immense popularity for its characters, storyline, and unique visual style. It was picked up for print publication in Japanese by Kadokawa, which has released two volumes as of February of this year.

The series has recieved high reviews and sold over 150,000 copies within the first week of the Japnaese manga. It won the web manga category in the 2023 Next Manga Awards.

According to the author on X, the series has been licensed in over a dozen languages and territories, including China, Italy, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Vietnam, Brazil, Mexico, Germany, France, Thailand, and Taiwan.

Readers can look forward to the first volume's official release in English this October.

it'd be actually insane if this next arc just has gero being pathetic on the side and the potential partners teaming up with each other and saving themselves from the gero clan and the "helping people charm" happens whithin themselves and they keep falling in love with each other and we just go 27 chapters without seeing gero
