Yuri License Announcements

So this one was announced all the way back in November and I missed it because I apparently don't pay enough attention to Kodansha. A mutual on Twitter ended up mentioning it to me. My bad.

'Spoil Me Plzzz, Hinamori-san!' by tsuke

"Ichigo Hinamori has always looked up to her senpai Yaya Suou for her poise, impeccable grades, and kind heart. But that all changes the day Ichigo stumbles upon Yaya wailing like a little kid in the nurse’s office. It turns out everyone’s favorite honor student is desperate to get off her pedestal and be spoiled rotten instead—and now she’s hoping Ichigo will be the one to indulge her!"

Debut Date: October 1, 2024

The 'I'm in Love With the Villainess' spinoff series 'She's So Cheeky for a Commoner' will be getting the audiobook treatment starting in June according to a recent announcement.

I don't know if I should even be counting these as new licenses since all that's happened is they've unceremoniously dropped the individual volume releases on these two series and are just releasing both of them as omnibuses now (kinda screwing over anyone who supported the series before but whatever). But I guess it will come as a relief to fans that Seven Seas haven't just dropped these two completely.

I honestly find Seven Seas a little tiring lately, they seem to have abandoned our fandom. Yen Press and Viz are licensing a few and some Japanese kickstarters for English yuri releases are filling in some of the gaps, but it's still annoying that what used to be "the" yuri publisher for English speakers has decided we're no longer financially lucrative enough for them after 18 years.
 
TappyToon will be doing an official English translation of 'I Love Amy' by Unni starting on September 4th. I HIGHLY recommend reading this one, it is in my mind an absolute masterpiece. Plays around with the yandere arechetype in a way I have never really seen before, and has a very compassionate exploration of mental health issues and trauma. It's absolutely beautiful.
