Today on Okazu - Girl Crush, Volumes 1-2

Okazu Staff Writer Eleanor thinks two volumes read together are a good introduction, and is interested to see how the rivalry develops in future volumes, while hoping for their relationship to become something more.

Cover of volume 1 of Girl Crush. On a hot pink background, a young woman with long blonde hair, wears a black and red halter top and skirt, and a white short jacket, smiling at us, her left hand curled at her lip. Cover of Girl Crush volume 2. On a bright blue background, a girl with brown hair in twin tails, holds her right hand coquettishly at her mouth. She poses, wearing a white t-shirt over a fishhnet long-sleeves, red short skirt.

Today on Okazu – Yuri Visual Novel Demo Mini-reviews: Comet Angel and Distant Oceanic Getaway

@stowly.bsky.social and bsky.app/profile/yeo.... on demos for Yuri Visual Novels participating in Steam’s Fall In Love Fest: Comet Angel & Distant Oceanic Getaway.

Key image for Comet Angel Yuri Visual Novel by Cross Couloir. Two women stand back to back looking longingly up at a night sky as a comet passes overhead. Key image for Distant Oceanic Getaway. A woman with hair cut below her ears, wearing a blue button-down blouse cuffs rolled up below her elbow, leans on a wooden railing, her cheek in one hand on a ship's deck. The wind plays through her hair.

Look you can’t tell me this thing is “intelligently designed” — it goes into a five-minute coughing fit if I breathe wrong. Sometimes it accidentally bites itself. It draws blood.

*cracks knuckles*

okay so you know how the media has a problem with taking snippets of scientific studies out of context and writing articles which mislead the public?

now imagine a computer program is doing that when you ask it questions about scientific literature but also it makes stuff up.

Today on Okazu - My First Love's Kiss, Volumes 2 & 3

Okazu Staff writer @stowly.bsky.social says, while Volume 1 was "eeeeh," Volumes 2 and 3 were a train wreck but not even in a good way. If you want to read something by the author, read the Saeki Sayaka novels.

Two girls in summer Japanese school uniform, white blouses with robin's egg blue ties, blue skirts, sit on a floor under windows. In the foreground the girl with medium-length brown hair smiles as she looks at her phone, the blonde watches her with a dissatisfied expression Two girls, one with blonde hair, the other with brown, wearing white Japanese sailor-style school uniforms with bright blue ties, lay next to one another, as they smile into the camera. The blonde looks at us, the brunette looks at the blonde

Today on Okazu - I Want To Love You Till Your Dying Day, Volume 1

Okazu Staff writer @stowly.bsky.social finds more to like than dislike in this violent dystopian science fiction Yuri series by Nachi Aono, which is out now, from @kodansha.us!

okazu.yuricon.com/2025/02/27/i...
In front of a ruined wall and a bright blue sky two girl in blue Japanese-style school uniforms hold hands and smile into the camera. The taller girl, with wavy blonde hair has a bandage on one cheek. The smaller girl, with long, lush punk hair flying in the breeze, holds a wildflower in her hand.
