A oneshot by Sal Jiang for comic yuri’s January 2026 issue

Summary : A story about a young lady in the prime of her romantic life and a seasoned courtesan who flowed in from the West.

This is a one shot manga featuring masc x masc (prince x prince) Yuri. It’s also written by Fujita author of Wotakoi. It’s one of my favorite one shots I’ve ever read. They have a dynamic where one person is flirtatious (blonde hair) and the other is easily exasperated (black hair) by them, but both are very sincere towards one another underneath. It gave me a craving for more masc x masc Yuri. Also finally more basketball player Yuri after the girl I want is so handsome.

Summary : Cool x Cool = Super Cute

This shoujo gl-bl manga (a triple threat if you will) featuring a fujoshi gyaru with a crush on her best friend, who she is shipped with by the himedanshi she ships with his bestfriend who he also has a crush on. Confused ?

Here’s another (better ?) summary :

Mitsu Himekawa, a second-year high school student, secretly loves BL. Together with her best friend Rui Majiima, she spends her days fantasizing about her male classmates. One day, one of her observation targets, Shou Kagomiya, tells her, “Himekawa, you actually like Rui Majima, don't you?”, shocking her.

A chaotic love triangle (?) woven by a BL-loving gyaru and a handsome yuri-loving guy!

(Will add info as needed)

The Creators Grace is one of Rosmei's two baihe titles (both by prolific author Ning Yuan). The main character Chi Yu is working to discover the circumstances of her sister Chi Li’s death and what role her sister’s ex Ran Jin might have had in it. All while trying to back the family energy company that her sister left to Ran Jin. Even if that means sabotaging the company’s efforts to gain mining rights to the moon (spearheaded by Ran Jin) and the company’s goal to create an underwater theme park.

The beginning of the story plays out like a drama or a mystery novel,with a crazy hook showing our main characters scheming against one another (mainly Chi Yu) before going back to the events leading up to it. I wasn’t fully invested until after the flash back where we get context for the mc’s actions and capabilities (their power over the business felt a bit hard to believe in the beginning) though much is still unknown by the end of volume one.

I started the story unsure of how well Chi Yu and Ran Jin’s dynamic was going to work for me given I’m not usually interested in family members ex stories. But I think this is one of the cases where the author does an excellent job showcasing the love interests appeal (in this case a strong suit wearing older sister type who is so self reliant while also so insecure and lonely because she won’t truly rely one anyone with a younger taller manipulative type who means her ill)But a past loving relationship twisted by death and misunderstanding and the change from one form of love to another is very interesting. Especially paired with Ran Jin’s willingness to sacrifice at her own cost even if it causes Chu Yi to despise her.

A few notes before spoilers. As of volume one there is no reference to government involvement of any government in mining the moon. Which did make suspension of disbelief difficult however, given censorship I’m not sure how much Ning Yuan could have included that. The scifi elements of this are on the lower end at this point of the story mainly they add to the mystery at this point. And finally the writing style while not the most skilled I’ve ever read was very compelling if you’d like to preview it you can here : https://rosmeihey.top/pages/preview-creatorsgrace An interesting thing to note is it uses british English which I thought was kind of cool and hadn’t noticed it in other novels I’ve read from rosmei (mainly the historicals). I did enjoy this and will order the rest of the volumes as they become available for preorder @ yiggybean. Spoilers below.

Hi, I created this blog to have a space to review and discuss Yuri comics, novels, games etc. I’d also like to compare yuri with similar plot/couples to similar bl or het couples and works. And I wanted to have a space free from the discourse and puritanical thinking discussed further in the rules section of this post.

I think whether or not a review is positive it can still help someone to decide to read that work as tastes vary. So I hope to provide all context I can to help people decide whether or not to read/watch something. I’d also like my blog to be open and helpful to you whether or not you’re new to Yuri, already a fan, or just like reading reviews (my incoherent rambling). I do aim for this to be a fan blog rather than a platform for monetizing. So anything I review will be something I’m actually interested in and purchased with my own money.

I’m happy you’ve discovered this blog. However I do reserve the right to delete comments and block accounts if they engage in the following behaviors on my blog :

1. Bigotry. Racism,xenophobia, transphobia,homophobia, biphobia, queerphobia. Ace-arophobia, and misogyny will not be tolerated.

2. Gatekeeping i.e Who is allowed to read/write queer content discourse. Speculation on the gender/sexuality of writers or other readers.

3. BL vs GL discourse.

4. Pro censorship “If you write this you should be arrested.”

5. No bullying, doxxing, suicide baiting, and any attempts to drum up a hate mob will not be allowed nor will threats.

6. Morality of taste. No “I’m morally superior to you because I like x rather than y.” comments.

I am not interested in feeding the trolls. Any asks sent in bad faith will be deleted. And I will add further rules to this as needed.
