posted on by Alex Mateo
Seven Seas will release the first volume of Kiyoko Iwami's My Girlfriend's Not Here Today (Kyō wa Kanojo ga Inai kara) yuri manga in May 2024. The company describes the story:
Asahina Yuni is lonely–she has a girlfriend, but it feels like they're barely dating. Pent up, Asahina vents her secret frustrations on an anonymous social media account. One day after class, Asahina is doomscrolling on her phone when she's swept up in conversation with the striking, outgoing Taki. Taki peppers her with personal questions until she reveals that she's been following Asahina's supposedly secret social media. Taki insists that she only wants to talk, and the more time they spend together, the more Asahina can feel herself opening up...until Taki shows her true colors, threatening to blackmail Asahina to get more time alone with her! What will Asahina do once she's caught in an erotic web of secrets and lies?
Iwami (Transparent Light Blue) launched the manga in Ichijinsha's Comic Yuri Hime magazine in June 2021. Ichijinsha published the manga's third compiled book volume on February 16.
After suffering a loss both at work and in his personal life, college student Sora feels crushed. A stiff night walk to process his thoughts leads him to a discovery: a handsome man sitting in a secluded spot in the park that's perfect for stargazing. Sora and the man start chatting, and he feels comfortable enough to start talking about his problems–but he's still stunned when the man kisses him! Although Sora initially writes off the night as an unexpected connection with a stranger, this isn't the last he'll see of the man who stares up at the sky.
Furuya debuted the manga in Rutile in January 2016, and ended it in 2017. The single compiled book volume shipped in Japan in March 2017.
