Unrelated, but here's some cute fan art.
Yes, I am looking forward to Seven Seas' release of Girl Friends. ^_^ I'm really happy to see something A) yuri-centric (Cardcaptor Sakura is excellent for what it's supposed to be- a magical girl series- but it will never satisfy me as a yuri fan) and B) really honest-to-goodness good (I really enjoy Strawberry Panic! for its fun, knowingly deep-as-a-teaspoon trashiness, but can't honestly call it good) being published in English. Definitely getting it when it comes out.

Cute Yuri fan art is never unrelated. Heh, I actually have that picture now set as my wallpaper so thanks for sharing.
I think Strawberry Panic is good for what it is, a distillation of the Yuri gene up the point it was written. That said, yes its great Seven Seas is licensing series that are actually Yuri-centric and really good.
Hope you have a good vacation.
@Felix- Thank you!
Glad you like the fan art. ^_^ I thought it was too cute to not post.
@Katherine - Do you know off hand who the artist is? The style is so spot on I was wondering if this was actually Morinaga's own work.
Oho! This is the first I'd heard, though if any US publisher was going to license GF, it would have to be 7Seas. I'm looking forward to it.
@Felix- The artist is someone named "hi-ho-" on Pixiv. Here's where I found the pic. http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=15779515
@Steve Shea- Me too. ^_^
@Katherine - Thanks for the heads up on who the artist is.
@Felix- No prob!
The news of an US published Girlfriends made my day. That series definitively deserves a larger audience.
Great blog Btw!
@Alex- Thank you! :-)
