Yuri Monogatari Volume 5 (Yuri Monogatari) 2 reviews
Various
ALC Publishing, 2007
recommendable alternative yuri
Yuri Monogatari is a anthology of lesbian romance stories written by women for women, although that doesn't mean men can't enjoy this too. I've actually met Erica Friedman, the woman who put this anthology series together, and by knowing her or reading her blog at Okazu her mission was to have many ...

Yuri Monogatari Volume 32 reviews

ALC Publishing, 2006
start out on 'Yuri Monogatari' series with this one
As I mentioned in my reviews for Yuri Monogatari volumes 4 and 5, this anthology was put together with stories created by various artists, so each yuri story is different from the other. It makes for a maturer read than most commercial yuri, so you should check this out for a change in pace (if you ...

Powerful
+ One of the few to really shine...
+ Unexpected Surprise
I can't claim to be an enthusiast of the form of Manga, but when a
friend who plays in the field of lobbyist politics told me about this
new graphic novel to come out, I wanted to take a look. It's not every
day to find a treatment of sexual identity in what I initially thought
of as "comics". ...

YAY FOR PANTY SHOTS! lol
+ Something different from Clamp
If you like *fan service* or panty shots, this is the book for you. Excellent quality art has usual from CLAMP, ok, so there is no storyline but who needs one when its so funny? It's mainly a sampler of different sketches that all end in Miyuki-chan having her clothes somehow fall off. I thought it ...

Yun Kouga
TokyoPop, 2006
Loveless is lovely!
Loveless is one of the best manga ever. I loved it so much, that I rushed to buy every one the bookstore had one sale. Ritsuka is hilariously cute. Soubi is just hilarious in general.
In volume 3, the plot continues to thicken. :
After a grueling battle against the powerful Zeros, Soubi is ...

Iono-sama Fanatics is a light-hearted manga in which a queen surrounds herself with a harem of beautiful women who all adore her for her good nature. They follow her around while she attempts to find new women to add to her harem. The art is lovely, and Infinity Studios deserves credit for keeping ...

One look says it all
Ok so the girl on the front cover tells you what? She kills and knows how to fight. I don't want to spoile anything and no matter how innocent that girl looks on the cover you will change your mind after you read a few pages. She didn't just happen to have that Sycthe and get covered in blood no, ...

Very nice
Okay it's a comic so not really expecting it to go on forever. Can't say that the plot development was as good as it could have been if it was a novel like thing. BUT... I wish it was. It's a fantastically wonderful story. Don't let reviews on other sites fool you, it's not mostly geared to boys. ...

a bittersweet romance
I want to register a different opinion on this manga than the reviewer below. Not only did I like Ms. Sakurazawa's art style a lot, but I liked her storytelling style. It's very lyrical and oblique, which seems to be the other reviewer's complaint, but I find it to be a great strength. One is left ...

Lady Snowblood is a classic reminder that all daughters are their mother's legacy.
