CHIKANE-CHAN!

She’s Chikane-chan! I just know it! I sense more angsty yuri love with mecha next year. Watch the video for yourself.

Strawberry Panic Episode 1

Take Maria-sama ga Miteru and up the yuri factor by 1000 times. That is what Strawberry Panic is about. Basically, Nagisa Aoi transfers to this all-girls catholic school that is collocated with two other affliated all-girls school and all three schools are full of sexually-confused nubile young girls. She meets Shizuma Hanazono, the etoile (french for “star”) of the three schools (something like the student representative) and is promptly sexually-assaulted by her. Nagisa’s roommate, Tamao Suzumi, also takes an immediate liking in her, i.e. stalking.

And I’m not even joking.

If you can’t stand yuri, stay away from this show. If you love yuri, give it a try. As much as I love Kannadzuki no Miko and Yamiboushi, something about this series feels… too extreme. I don’t know… I guess I’ll keep watching and see how it goes.

Kannadzuki no Miko Vol.2

I dropped by Kinokuniya to pick up this order today. This is the second, and also the concluding, volume of Kannadzuki no Miko, with 100% more yuri than the anime its based on.

The second part of the story has been drastically altered, perhaps even more than the first volume. Chikane’s motivation is shown more explicitly (not that) than in the anime, so it won’t really make you go WTF? (unless you can’t read Japanese).

Perhaps the biggest difference in the manga is level of explicitness depicted (yes, that). The anime isn’t exactly something you watch with your family, but it is certainly far from receiving the 18+ label (at least not in Singapore). The manga on the other hand has nudity and more obvious softcore scenes. The fact that the manga isn’t 18+ either tells you a bit about morality in Japan… (not that it’s a bad thing)

That aside, the ending sucked. I don’t recommend getting this unless you are that desperate for some Chikane x Himeko scenes. Then again, I’m sure that you can find some high quality doujinshi out there that better suit this purpose.
