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!

Pork chops coated in @abokichilife #okazu and mayonnaise and then covered in panko on a bed of rice seasoned with sesame, soy, and mirin. Kind of a lazy take on katsudon? (at Banning, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoRXs57s2kb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Star Student X Delinquent Yuri Romance Manga 'I Can't Say No to the Lonely Girl' Licensed in English

On Saturday, Kodansha USA announced at its Anime Expo 2023 panel that it has licensed Kashikaze's I Can't Say No to the Lonely Girl (Lonely Girl ni Sakaraenai) for English publication. The first volume of the school romance Yuri manga will be released in the spring of 2024.

I Can't Say No to the Lonely Girl follows Ayaka Sakurai, a star student gifted in both academics and athletics. However, she gets nervous about exams, so has to settle for a lesser high school than she intended.

When her homeroom teacher recognizes Ayaka's struggle, she offers her a recommendation letter that could get her into any school of her choice, on one condition. She has to convince the delinquent girl, Sora Honda, to come to school. Thus the goody-goody Sakurai is thrust into a web of blackmail that might just lead to romance!

I Can't Say No to the Lonely Girl was serialized in Comic Yuri Hime from 2019 until its conclusion in October 2022. Ichijinsha publishes six collected volumes of the manga in Japanese.

The manga received positive reviews from audiences and critics. Erica Friedman awarded the first Japanese volume an 8/10 score on Okazu, and the series won 12th place overall in Yuri Navi's fifth Yuri Manga Sousenkyo in 2021.

Kashikaze is a Japanese Yuri artist. She has contributed to multiple Yuri anthologies, including Canelé: Soeur, Shibuya Gyaru, and Chocolat: Shkaijin Yuri Anthology. She also released a side story doujinshi focusing on the side characters from I Can't Say No to the Lonely Girl.

Look forward to the release of the first volume of I Can't Say No to the Lonely Girl in the Spring of 2024.

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!!!!

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.
