A dose of Yuri keeps the Fujoshis away...

I've been a big fan of Yuri. Always have been, and it seems like I always will be. Why, you ask? Imagine this: Two (yeah, two. Not one, but two!!) cute and/or pretty girls, flirting with each other. How sweet can that be? I bet you jawbreakers, lollipops, or even chocolate fountains can't beat that... Or at least, that's my personal opinion, anyway.

Why suddenly talk about Yuri? Because I just got hold of a great stash of Yuri goods. Artbooks, doujins, mangas, a tote bag, and character goods. Too much? Nay! One can never have too much Yuri sweetness (^_^)

Without further ado, here are the shots:

Alice Quartet Artbook: Dolce

An artbook of Alice Quartet, titled "Dolce" - Illustrated by my favorite Yuri artist: Fujieda Miyabi.

Senkou Banshi

Another artbook by Fujieda Miyabi. It's titled "Senkou Banshi" which literally translates into "A thousand Crimson, Ten thousand Violet". It's a collection of  Fujieda-sensei's artworks from several titles.

K-ON! Doujins
Left: A doujin centered around Mugi and how she likes Yuri. It's titled "Mugi-time"
Right: A compilation doujin, consisting all 3 released volumes of the Houkago Tea-time doujin.

Love Plus Doujins
A set of Love plus doujins. One book for each of the 3 heroines from Love Plus: Manaka, Rinko, and Nene.

MDP - Miyabi's Daughter Party
MDP - Opened
MDP - short for 'Miyabi's Daughter Party' - goodies collection (including the opaque illustrated holder in the picture above) of original characters created by Fujieda-sensei.

And it comes with this wonderfully cute Twinkle Saber Nove tote bag:

This time, all of my Yuri stash comes from Fujieda Miyabi-sensei's circle: Atelier Miyabi. I'll give you three reasons why I like Fujieda-sensei's works so much:
First: The characters are cute. And of course, they come with equally cute fashion. Hooray for Fujieda-sensei's character fashion design.
Second: The story is refreshing, unique, and mostly relaxed. Somehow, it gives you a peaceful, wonderful feeling.
Third: The relationship between the girls are so sweet, you could die from nosebleed.

In the next comiket come this December, I'll be definitely paying Fujieda-sensei's booth a visit. Hopefully, I'd be able to meet sensei in person.
