It's also confirmed Hinako will be voiced by Reina Ueda, who also voiced Nagafuji in Adachi and Shimamura, Miyako in Wataten and Momoka in Whisper Me a Love Song.

Just saw the news as well. ^_^

Goddammit... Here's praying this will be one of the very rare cases she does not sound as always like Hane...

Idk who Hane is, but the announcement came with a PV and the Ueda Reina speaks in it. I like what she's doing with the voice, fitting for a character with barely any energy to live.

Can't say I have high hopes for this... I admit I've only watched the first few episodes of Yuri Is My Job, but I remember the art being quite mediocre (which was partly why I dropped it), so I don't really trust the studio to do the manga justice. The manga has very beautiful art and a distinct tone, which the pv didn't seem to convey very well. I do hope that I'm proven wrong, though.

Thanks for this, There is so many yuri animes coming out in 2025 to name a few Rock wa Lady no Tashinami deshite (not sure if this still counts as yuri), Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete 2nd Season, and WataNare

Aaah, finally took the anime announcement as motivation to re-read what's been uploaded to Dynasty. Definitely one of my favorites.
On to Mangadex for the rest, which I had previously never bothered to read.

Unfortunately not all chapters uploaded to mangadex are high quality. You can still follow the story, though, which is something. I definitely noticed a drop in my enjoyment of it, but I'm still quite invested in it.

I'm just waiting for the English publisher releases to catch up now instead.

Same. But just finished re-reading what's available here, at least.

It's crazy that the anime adaptation will probably end on the reveal that the titular monster does not want to eat the protagonist. I'm more than a little concerned about how that will be received by first timers

Maybe not. They could try ending it at Chapter 14, right before the training camp.

That would mean the anime would only adapt three volumes in one season. Most TV anime adapted from manga usually cover 4-5 volumes of the source material. So the adaptation 'could' end at chapter 14 but the pacing would be downright soporific considering the already leisurely pace of the manga.

Because without everything that follows up this twist in the manga it seems like an unsatisfying end to a story. Most anime adapted from a yuri manga suffer from the no-second-season-curse, and in this case the source story reaches it's central twist right where the first season of the anime is likely to end.

All the parties involved hear is a jump in manga sales. Mission accomplished. That would actually be a perfect place to end the season, for that purpose.

Could do worse. But that has little to do with how the ending will be received, since I'd expect most viewers to expect this anyway, just like we were here. Pretty sure it would get a positive reaction regardless of whether we'll get to see anything that follows that reveal. Now if it would also get around to the actual twist that the protagonist received the blood already before the crash, that would be a difficult place to stop on (and, ironically, is exactly where we were left hanging with the scanlation).

I'm just hoping the anime is passable at least, rather than being worried about the details. Horror yuri anime has a terrible track record thanks to Mieruko-chan and Otherside Picnic, so if this ends up even a 7/10 it'll be well above par

What the Mieruko-chan adaptation covered can barely be called yuri but that aside i thought the anime was pretty well done?

Is Mieruko-chan yuri in the first place? I don't remember anything of the sort up until where I've read it, though its been some time since then. I have to admit that my expectations on this one are rather low. The scenes in the trailer didn't really convey the mood of the manga to me. I hope I'm proven wrong though.

Only in the broadest "yuri is about relationships between girls" kinda way, really. the manga has gotten a significant boost in gayness ever since Michiru got introduced though (which happens after the end of the anime). She is definitely, consistently, unsubtly, super hecking gay for Miko.

They've even held hands lol.
And idk maybe other people liked the Mieruko-chan anime but I did not. The scary stuff looks really cheap and fake, and they put a lot more focus instead on fanservice. Also the OP sucked but it's mostly the first two things that are bad
