Just read volume 1 of Syrup: A Yuri Anyhology and it was really great! Some sweet, sappy stories, some spicier stories, some with a bittersweet ending, but just a lot of great stuff! I recommend it just as a quick dose of yuri variety! Looking forward to checking out volumes 2 and up!

Fan Favorite Yuri Series 'Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl' Licensed in English; Omnibus Release September 2024

On February 14, Seven Seas Entertainment announced that it has licensed the popular Yuri romance manga Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl (Ikemen Girl to Hakoiri Musume). The manga is written by Mocchi Au Lait and illustrated by majoccoid.

The publisher describes the series:

When Okuma Satomi’s friend seeks her help wrangling guys for a crossdressing cafe, Satomi winds up with a boyfriend! Sort of. After asking her handsome and aloof classmate, Kanda Mizuki, to help out in the cafe, Mizuki agrees, but on one condition: the two of them must go on a date. Satomi eagerly agrees, delighted to have such a good-looking guy interested in her, but Mizuki realizes that Satomi has completely misunderstood something crucial: Mizuki is a girl! Will this case of mistaken identity blossom into something beautiful, or will the truth leave both girls brokenhearted?

Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl was originally serialized in Comic REX from September 2019 until its conclusion in October 2020. It was based on a work posted on Twitter before being picked up for serialization. Ichijinsha published two collected volumes of Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl in Japanese.

Despite its lack of an international release, the manga quickly became popular with English-speaking audiences and is highly ranked on cataloging websites such as MyAnimeList and Anime-Planet.

Creator Mocchi Au Lait is a pair known for their Yuri manga works, many of which have a shared world and lose connections. In addition to Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl, they have contributed to several anthologies, including Yuri Drill, Syrup (licensed by Seven Seas Entertainment), and the official Yuri Is My Job! Anthology. Many of their works are independently released online. Their other serialized works include Yamitsuki and the currently running adult comedy series Warui ga Watashi wa Yuri ja Nai (Sorry, I'm Not Yuri) from Kadokawa.

Illustrator majoccoid, also known by the circle name Haratama, has also contributed to several manga anthologies and is currently the illustrator of Shimesaba's romance manga series Tayutau Kemuri wa Tsukamenai, which is serialized in Comic HOWL.

The complete series of Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl will be released in English in September 2024 as a single omnibus under Seven Seas' GL label.

John Price/female reader The Ocean anthology

The girl is here.

You’re tucked in a corner booth, rigid against old cedar slats, brown bottle and half peeled beer label crinkled between your fingers. The yellow track lighting casts a dubious shadow across your face, faint flicker of unease painted through your brow.

Your lips touch the rim. John’s stomach pitches.

You look up. He pretends you don’t. Perches on the stool, empty one of many, and waits for his usual. Rocks whiskey. Amber syrup, a cold burn.

One like he feels now, when he catches a local giving you a once, twice over.

You’re a grown woman. Grown women go to bars.

“Saw Aly made a friend the other day.” The bartender is lighthearted, but the comment doesn’t land, just floats aimlessly in the stale air, floundering.

“Yeah.” This is more than curiosity, this interest the town has expressed in you. More than good natured, or ill natured, interest. It’s sinister. It’s calculating. It makes him want to lock you away, hide you from the eyes of this place, the ones watching from the dark, the depths, the pale orange windows lining the street.

“The conservation effort pays for the ranger position, you know.” Mari clips at his left elbow. “Wouldn’t kill you to be nice to her.” It might.

She’s not wrong. He glances at your empty bottle and wandering eyes, and then with a sigh, orders one with a second pour for himself.

John doesn’t meander. He walks with purpose. It’s a learned technique from his past, straight and purposeful. A captain’s walk. Still proud, still able. Still carrying the echo of gunfire, shouts of dying men, well laid plans gone to waste.

He wants to walk right out the door, pull his hat down around his ears, tuck his chin and take himself home.

But then he’d be awake. Listening. Waiting for the sound of your door opening and closing, your feet heavy on the staircase.

Silent watching. Too afraid to go close. Unable to bring himself to gentle a wild thing, again. He’d dig his fingers into your flesh, rip apart these pieces singing to him, the ones carrying an unnatural tune, a siren song trying to drag him into frigid waters.

He’d dig and dig until he’s made a new home. Until he’s hollowed you out, turned you in on yourself. Until he’s lost where he ends and begins, lost the feeling of the most sacred pieces of his heart, the ones already slipping through his fingers.

He burns with a desire to consume you. Pick you apart. See what makes your wild heart tick. You’re like the sea, he already knows. A wild thing, in a wild place, with a wild passion. An interest so feral it’d kill you.

It might.

So when he appears at the end of the table, peace offering in hand, he doesn’t expect a smile or a gesture. He expects what he gets: a confused glance and then, a hot streak dancing in your eyes, willful as the tides. Amphitrite herself.

He hates you for it. Hates how much the burn has blossomed. Hates how you smile at him in the mornings, even though he’s only ever given you frosty, grim half smiles and frowns.

You’re willful. He’d bring you to heel, do to you what was done to him, bend body and soul, and then you’d never leave this place.

“Hi.”

“Can I sit?” He motions, and you chew the inside of your cheek before nodding.

“Please.”

“Can I ask you about the wolves?” No. Ask about anything, but the wolves.

“What about them?”

“Thought I heard them, the other night when I was out.” His spine snaps straight to attention, liquid fire sticking to his stomach like tar. It settles there, in this uncomfortable space he’s built out for you, for all the pieces he’s trying to jam up and away.

“Out where?” A sheepish look crosses your face.

“I went for a walk.”

“Thought I told you not to walk alone at night.” It’s a grand assumption, you being alone. Grand assumption that any one of these starved boys hasn’t picked you up already, hasn’t already tried to make you theirs, to pin you under their body in a bed and give you pieces of themselves.

“I wanted to look at the stars.” It’s a simple answer, but makes the blood hot under his coat. He wonders how much you like the word no, or if anyone has laid you across their knee and spanked you raw before. His hands itch just thinking about it.

He’d do it. He’d lick your tears afterwards too, brine fresh on his tongue. Sweeter than sugar. His crying girl, bent and broken beneath his palms.

There’s a buzzing in the back of his head, a whine. High pitched and unbearable, like the sound Aly’s cries. It’s PTSD, or hearing loss, or tinnitus, something lingering past retirement, sharp and lurking in wait.

“The pack comes close to town. Often.”

“How big?”

“Eleven. Used to be twelve but…” he peters off, hand rubbing down his face. Not too much. “If you’re ever out around the house, or town, and they get too close. You run. Don’t freeze. Run.” He must instill this in you. This chance at survival. Running will make you prey, certainly, but if you’re close enough to town, they’ll peel off.

They know better.

“And if I’m not around the house? Or town?”

“Don’t be.”

Yuri With Women Who Know They're Queer And Are Sexy About It

I'm really happy with this yuri manga rec list I made so I'm cross posting it here :D

Syrup Anthologies - these are short story collections, and each collection centers a different theme (work, forbidden, first time). As far as I remember, none of the stories feature characters totally ignorant of her queerness. I've read these ones myself: they're very good!

How Do We Relationship? - two college students are the only lesbians in their small town. Why not date each other? Will it ever work out?

Our Teachers are Dating! - this one is a more sweet romance, but two teachers date each other, to the cheers of their students.

Love Thy Neighbor - a spicy Korean webtoon about a college student sheltering an older woman on the run from loan sharks. Drama! Messed up relationship! Could be exactly what you're looking for.

Pulse - Thai webcomic about a heart surgeon who has sex purely for pleasure's sake, without any romantic emotion involved. That is, until she meets a certain someone....

If I Could Reach You - a high school student quickly figures out her sexuality when she falls for her brother's wife.

Does It Count If You Lose Your Virginity to an Android? - this one seems more like a straightforward erotica. A high powered office worker drunkenly orders an android maid online...except the android wants to do so much more than clean.

Kill Me Now - webtoon about a hitwoman who kills a mark and "rescues" his daughter, promising the daughter that she can avenge her father when she's older. The daughter grows up and decides to emphasize the "lust" part of bloodlust. Will this toxic love overcome the cycle of revenge?

All the links go to Storygraph, which is a book review site. Best of luck on your reading journey!

[levmada]

a/n: hehe i saw @eijirhoe + @kazuwhora dom!reader event and just had to join. i present a sort-of cut scene from my levi anthology fic.

content/warnings: edging (m!receiving), mommy kink, a little degradation, breathplay (m!receiving), sub!Levi, bondage (m!receiving)

wc: ~.7k

Levi is trapped in an endless loop. You reeling him up tighter and hotter and louder until he’s there, right there, before you take it away and build him up all over again. It’s gone on so long that he can’t remember when you even started—it’s been hours. 

Heat pelts off your bodies, like a sauna. Where your bodies are connected is slippery and hot to the touch. There’s barely any friction left, so it’s all just wet.

 The air tastes of sweat and sex and Levi’s small whimpers, his cries. He’s even begging. 

You don’t think he can help it, just as the headboard rocks and snaps every time he yanks the cuffs. His fists clench and twist uselessly, searching for any purchase on anything.

His cock is fat and throbbing inside you. Your hand slips up to hold his neck like a necklace that’s far too small, and he jerks.

“I’m-I’m gonna come.”

You cease your light rocking and press down on him a little more. “No you’re not. Not until I let you.”

He moans, wet and defeated and broken around the buzz your hand gives him, and surrenders. Shapeless warm things whirl about behind his shut eyes, making him loose and thoughtless—what’s left is you taking his earlobe between your teeth, and your cunt swallowing in his cock, working him until he keens. 

A step away from too much you let him go, and a heatwave rolls over his cock.

“I can’t!” he gasps. “Fuck!”

Your thumb flirts around his plump bottom lip, then dips into his mouth. His lips close automatically, sucking around it without thinking. 

“Can’t?”

He whines at the sound of your voice. You sound so innocent. Maybe he moans, or you, but who cares when it’s too much effort to feel embarrassed by it?—Not when you talk like this, dragging your words and sounds like hot syrup. 

He’s helpless and he knows it. Saliva pools at the sides of his mouth but he just keeps sucking. He also knows you have him perfectly taken care of.

“Can’t what, sweet baby?” you go on. “Is it too much?”

Your thumb pops out of his mouth. The smirk decorating your lips makes him beg, please, but then you rake his bangs back and his eyes pinch shut, plump pink lips gaping.

“Please what, Levi? Tell me.” The bed creaks. “You wanna stop?”

“Please. Please, please—mommy, please–”

You groan, your cunt fluttering around him, but Levi is louder. His chest heaves and he curls his toes so his hips don’t rock, or like earlier, jump up to fuck your cunt. If he misbehaves, you won’t let him cum, and he can’t not. It’s all he can think about.

But the way you brace yourself using his chest so you can fuck yourself on his cock—that sharp shift in weight is enough for him to flirt with the edge again.

He can’t shut his mouth; sounds fly from the top of his throat. That rush of pleasure that’ll flip his world upside down darts behind his eyelids, so forget his embarrassing noises. He’s right there.

Your teeth flirt with his sweaty neck—“M-Mm!”—and you murmur in his ear, “Tell me how good it feels, baby, and I’ll let you come.”

Thrill shoots through his belly. “It’s good,” he mewls, “It’s so good, it’s—d-don’t fucking stop...!”

Then you go still on top of his cock. He's actually going to cry. 

“Nu-uh, you can do better than that.” Your hand slithers up his heaving chest until your thumb and pointer finger close around his throat again. 

His head falls back, each gasp shuddering. You raise a brow and squeeze, just enough to feel his adam's apple bobbing, and his sharp jaw draws rigid again.

A cracked, broken sound dies at the top of his throat. “It’s so fucking good. Please,” he tries, and he’s trying—so, so hard.

“Is that all? Am I fucking you so hard you can’t even think?” you huff, nudging your hips forward in tiny rolls. 

“Uh-huh!” If he agrees to whatever you’re saying, maybe you’ll let him come. “M-Mommy.” 

Wetness sticks to Levi's lashes, which you lick off his cheeks. “Give mommy s’more.”

“Fuck.” He plants his feet flat and sobs. His eyes, cracked open into light blue slits, beg you. “I can’t.”

“Hah, awe honey—you’re my good boy, of course you can.”

More questions on Tegan & Lucky!

What sort of media would Lucky be interested in?

What sort of books and journals are in Tegan's collection?

What bike did Tegan have and what is Lucky's? How did Lucky get his?

What are Tegan's associates doing about Lucky being around instead of him?

Whether for his curiosity of meeting new people and places or distancing himself from Tegan's social circles, would Lucky consider moving somewhere else?

Since Lucky is still legally seen as Tegan, would he get his name changed?

Since Tegan is the king of street racing, would it be fitting that he also has an unbeatable skeeball highscore in every arcade he's been to?

i was going to open this answer by going "well it's your lucky day" but i just made myself cringe with it lol

it is time for boy lore!

What sort of media would Lucky be interested in?

I think he likes weird mixed-media and self-published stuff, honestly. Audio dramas, video essays. Things he can put on while he’s on the road or stretched out watching the clouds. Reading is nice, too, but he focuses best when he's just gotten up and isn't moving yet.

He likes a classic slasher from time to time, too, but only with other people. Corn-syrup blood and cheesy practical effects are just kind of better enjoyed together.

What sort of books and journals are in Tegan's collection?

Make no mistake, Tegan was a NERD. Aeronautical anthologies, astronomy texts, those weird Barnes & Noble historical coffee table selections. Poetry, like a lot of poetry. Tegan's very much a Yeats boy, although he was also fond of Rilke and Rimbaud. There’s also, like, a few dusty language textbooks, the sort that you buy on a kick and never get around to actually studying. And he wrote a lot. Memo pads and leatherbound Walgreens journals, that sort of thing. Crack one of those suckers open and you get a free tongue-in-cheek existential crisis in mechanical pencil, 'cause that's what he had on tap 80% of the time.

What bike did Tegan have and what is Lucky's? How did Lucky get his?

Tegan had a 2012 BMW F800ST! Torquey and balanced and really well cared for. Midnight blue with some subtle yellow and white accents, little bit of a Van Gogh homage (nerd).

Of course, Janus had mixed feelings on the whole racing thing, but he also recognizing that having a motorcycle was an integral part of his brother’s identity, so he arranged for a replacement — a Sprint 1050. They are both sort of sharp in the front, and honestly, like, a bike is a bike. Only thing is that a bike is not a bike, and so while Lucky does get things done with the Sprint, it’s a little bit too finicky for his taste. He ends up trading with another local bike enthusiast for something a little more his style, and that — a Yamaha FJR1300 — ends up being his trademark bike. He gets it done up in his colors and everything. :)

What are Tegan's associates doing about Lucky being around instead of him?

Aside from the fact that he just isn’t around as much as they’re used to, I think that most of his acquaintances are just convinced that Tegan sort of got scared off the scene by the crash. First one of his career, right? And bad enough to take him off the map for months. I think that what strikes them as the strangest is the way that he just doesn’t seem to engage in the racing game at all anymore — he just seems to be a full-time courier, now.

When they ask, though, he’s genial. Maybe a little vague. Something's ever so slightly off about him. It’s weird, but who wouldn’t be? The crash was pretty bad. I’m still sorting everything out. Everyone doing okay? Nothing like an NDE to really mellow someone out. He’s still welcome, though, and sometimes he takes people up on invitations on the town, but the atmosphere’s a little different now that Holloway doesn’t step up and dazzle whole rooms like he used to.

Tegan’s best friend is canny enough and close enough that she knows what Lucky’s deal is — anyway, she’s been busy in the interim with trying to suss out what got him killed in the first place. How is she coping with the recent development that the bestie has been format wiped and now perceives way more and also way less than she is comfortable with? Uh. Really well. Don't ask her any more questions.

Whether for his curiosity of meeting new people and places or distancing himself from Tegan's social circles, would Lucky consider moving somewhere else?

Lucky would love traveling, I can tell you that much. You know those people who will tour from one coast to another with a backpack and their bike? That's right up his alley.

As far as leaving permanently, though, Lucky is a creature of sentiment. He's got ties to the city, inherited though they were, and once he starts making them his own, it'll get that much harder to actually leave it behind.

He is going touring though. Someday.

Since Lucky is still legally seen as Tegan, would he get his name changed?

Maybe after enough time’s passed. Feels disrespectful to immediately start over, you know? I think a part of Lucky seeks to understand who Tegan was, and it might just be sentimentality, but wearing the name feels like a part of that, almost? You wear the name, you read the journals, you find the person still lingering in the apartment, the idle nail-carvings on the end table, the weighted blankets and sleep playlists.

In the end, if he gets too used to it, he might just start telling people that he is Lucky, yeah, but he was named after a brother who passed away. Maybe Tegan would be amused.

Since Tegan is the king of street racing, would it be fitting that he also has an unbeatable skeeball highscore in every arcade he's been to

YES. Is it anywhere near as prestigious? Absolutely not, but it's fun to see the neighborhood teens placing bets to see who can beat him.

Did Tegan have any tattoos? If so, what where they and what meaning did it have to him?

He’s got a simple one stretching horizontally above his shoulder blades, the phases of the moon. He would’ve had more, but he had too many ideas for them and often sketched down concepts in his journals and never actually committed to them. Lots of thought went into maybe getting a line or two from poems he liked inked, but he never got the chance.

If Tegan did have tattoos, would Lucky be interested in getting one as well?

The first tattoo Lucky gets might be for Tegan. Some poem on his bicep or chest. But in you is the presence that / will be, when all the stars are dead, maybe. A lonely impulse of delight / drove to thus tumult in the clouds. That one will take some thought.

Other than that, maybe a spade? Is that too on the nose?

#bike drawings pending like i have drafts but you would not BELIEVE how awful i am at machinery . looks ROUGH #like as it is i just kind of look at them and sigh . wistfully #thinking abt tegan makes me miss tegan and its so funny bc man i KILLED him . sorry tegan sdhfj #poems quoted up there are buddha in glory by rilke and an irish airman foresees his fate by yeats! #oc: tegan ''lucky'' holloway #also fun thing here is that everything abt the names here is just . like inexplicably irish? which wasn't a conscious choice #i really liked hol but navidson seemed a bit obvious and i liked the mouthfeel of the name holloway #10 to 1 if i like you i'm going to name a character for you smtime! tegan is named after a gamer friend i had who was really sweet n cool #miss ya teagan i hope u and ur hamster are well! #n i always liked yeats okay but sayer was a gateway drug i am TELLING you. sailing to byzantium? omg #ty for the ask!!! #after 10 THOUSAND years too omg i'm givin u a medal #wading through the inbox like boyyy i got some stuff 2 keep me busy !!

Characters: Rukia and Renji (RenRuki)

Rating: G

Genre: Slice of Life, Domestic Fluff

Chapter Summary: It’s the little moments, the in-between times, even when they’re short, I’m glad I spent them with you. Renji and Rukia find little ways to support each other during these hectic times. (Post WDKALY, Loosely inspired by Fargo, Author’s Note after the story)

Part of the "We Can't All Be Winners" anthology series of oneshots.

************************************************************************

How much jail time would you get for killing a Hell Butterfly, I wonder? Rukia grumbled to herself. She had been sleeping in late on one of her and Renji's few days off together, when a black butterfly woke her up by alighting on her hand.

“Everything alright?” mumbled Renji’s sleepy voice next to her, his arm draped lazily across her midsection, and his face pressed into her hair. Rukia sighed, before slowly sitting up, gently releasing herself from his embrace.

“No…I gotta go into the Thirteenth Division...some problem or whatever. Sorry, Renji.”

“Eh. Can't be helped. But you gotta eat breakfast, Ru. I’ll make ya some eggs,” Renji simply yawned back as he slowly sat up too. Rukia whipped her head around towards him.

“What? Renji, you don’t have to-”

“You gotta eat some eggs, you’re no good without your protein," he stated matter-of-factly as he swung his legs off of their new tatami bed. He slowly stood up, stretched, and yawned again. “Plus, you tend to get pretty crabby without it," he finished as he cracked his back.

“Psh. Thanks a lot,” Rukia smirked, as she swung her legs off the bed as well and slowly stood up too. She stretched as Renji walked around towards her.

“You’re welcome," he smirked back. He bent down and gave her a quick kiss, "Go ahead and get ready. It’ll be done by the time you’re finished.”

"Thanks, babe," she replied, and headed towards the bathroom.

When she finished dressing, she came out to the kitchen to find the table already set, a plate of eggs for each chair and a giant stack of pancakes in the middle. Rukia blinked in surprise.

“Pancakes…?” she asked as she sat down.

“Oh yeah, I learned how to make them from Orihime. Ichigo told me you liked them, so I figured I’d give them a try,” Renji replied as he brought over the syrup and hot sauce, “Go on, try 'em!”

Rukia cut up her pancake, before dousing it in syrup. She picked up a piece with her chopstick and took a tentative bite.

“This…is delicious, Renji!” she began shoveling pancakes into her mouth. Renji laughed and began pouring them both some tea.

“Glad you like it.”

“And you made all this and the eggs too in such a short time?” Rukia asked when she took a break from inhaling pancakes to sip some tea, “That’s amazing!”

"Heh. Got to if I'm going to keep up with your appetite!" Renji replied as he finally sat down.

"Hmph! It's not my fault you make such tasty food," Rukia sniffed as she covered her eggs in hot sauce, and began shoveling them in her mouth as well. Renji chuckled as he sipped his tea.

It was a peaceful morning.

When Rukia finally made it back to the house, it was late in the evening, the sun having set long ago. Renji came to meet her at the door.

“How did it go?” he asked.

“Fine. We got the problem solved, anyway,” Rukia said, as she slipped off her sandals. She stood up on her tiptoes to kiss him, “Are you hungry? Sentaro felt bad about calling me in on my day off, so he made me some massaman curry and rice. I told him not to worry about it, but he insisted. Also, I picked up some sweet mochi on the way home for dessert.” Renji smiled at her toothily.

“Sounds great! I’m starved!”

“Sorry I’m back so late,” Rukia said, as she followed him into the kitchen, “You could have eaten without me, you know?”

“Yeah, I know, but I like eating dinner with you,” He replied as he got out the bowls.

As they sat quietly eating dinner, Rukia looked up at Renji and asked, “So how was your day? Anything exciting happen?”

“Hm? Yeah, actually!” he put his spoon down, and began to gesture enthusiastically with his hands,”You know that sunglasses design contest that Silver Dragonfly Eyewear was having? The design I entered won one of the brackets!” Rukia stopped mid bite, and looked up at him wide eyed.

“R-Really?!”

“Yeah! It…" but Renji's voice began to falter. He picked up his spoon again and slowly stirred his curry into his rice, "Well to be honest, I only got picked for the lowest bracket. It’s really just an honorary mention of designs that they liked, and that will be shown off in their magazine at the end of the month. So basically, I didn't even win a cash prize, so it’s not really that big of a deal, but…” he was then immediately interrupted by Rukia standing up, reaching across the table, and slapping both of her hands on his shoulders, gripping them tightly.

“Renji, that’s amazing! You won an art contest! I knew you could do it! When that magazine comes out, I’m gonna frame it on the wall!” She said excitedly, eyes gleaming. Renji looked up into her shining eyes, and felt his heart lurch in his throat.

“Thanks, Ru…”

“Idiot, what are you thanking me for? You’re the one who won the contest,” Rukia said, sitting back down, “Come on, hurry up and finish eating. Now that we have a tv, I want to watch cheesy rom-coms with you while we cuddle on the couch and eat mochi.” She picked up her spoon and began shoveling curry into her mouth again. Renji smiled at her fondly.

“Pfft. Okay, you got it.”

It was a peaceful evening.

A/N: Let’s finish off the year with some RenRuki domestic Fluff! This is loosely inspired by the main couple in Fargo, and just how well they both support each other, but more specifically the scenes near the beginning and the end with the eggs and the stamp collection. Now admittedly I’ve never actually seen Fargo, instead I heard about it from a Drawfee stream. But the host described the scene so warmly and so beautifully, I just had to make a RenRuki version of it! (I did eventually watch those scenes on youtube as well.)

Anyway, that’s it! Thank you all for reading, but really, thank you all so much for such a wonderful first year! The support has been amazing and I truly don’t deserve you all! While this is the end of this year's anthology series, if you would like even more RenRuki, then worry not! Starting in December I will be posting my first ever multi-chapter fic! Anyway, thats it for now. See you all next year!
