Manga (comics) is a piece of Japanese culture that the Japanese can proudly boast about, not only because of their fantastic work, but their ability to appeal to a wide variety of audiences. Shonen Ace and Ultra Jump are among the two most popular publications that bring you the latest and greatest adventure stories for hungry readers to consume. J-List is happy to add to their list of publications, Comic Yuri Hime, a delightful publication that caters to the female crowd. Published quarterly, it features around 15 - 20 stories with a central focus on Yuri or female relationships (such as the story "Nana" for example). Stories range from fantasy to modern pieces with romantic nuances to add a light feminine touch to your reading. A great inspirational piece in both illustration and story work that both guys and gals will enjoy, all in a telephone book thick format. Each issue is approximately 300 - 400 pages in length with a mixture of full color and black and white illustrations. Also makes a great study item, immersing you into real vocabulary used in typical Japanese conversations rather than the formulaic dry textbooks you'll constantly exposed to. Note: while these yuri manga explore female/female romantic relationships, there is no adult content in Yuri Hime.
