Yuri
: 百合 【ゆり】
Yuri (literally: "lily") is the term used to describe manga or anime with strong, graphically portrayed homo-erotic themes involving women. In otherwords, yuri is pornographic manga/anime featuring women with women. Unlike yaoi, yuri does tend to have more than the minimal necessary story.
Similar to the situation with yaoi / shounen-ai, it has become increasingly popular in North America for shoujo-ai titles to be labelled "yuri," both by fans and distributors.

Cage of Eden GN 1Despite its slow start, Cage of Eden becomes deeply engrossing, so that once a certain point is reached, it is nearly impossible to put down. The central mystery may be something we've seen before, but in this case that doesn't matter. As Akira and his fellow survivors set out to solve it, we are filled with a foreboding that the most dangerous animals that they will face on the mysterious island are the humans.
Bleach GN 36The break in continuity may be just what flagging readers need to regain interest in a series that drags at times, and the slight melancholy of the past may recharge waning emotions. Bleach is by no means perfect, but for the time being, it is still a series worth reading.
Ai Ore! GN 2Although not as enjoyable as its predecessor because of an increased non-
Sakura Hime: The Legend of Princess Sakura GN 3While Sakura Hime: The Legend of Princess Sakura is not Tanemura's finest work, it is still a welcome return to the classic magical girl story. The start has been a bit slow, but with the plot the author wanted rearing its head, it seems safe to say that the series will get better from here.

Vampire Knight GN 13
Although Vampire Knight volume 13 retains some of the problems of its predecessor, it has enough going on to make it a good read. It still doesn't live up to volumes ten and eleven in terms of excitement and plot, but it continues to guide us forward to the point where the series will reach that level again.

Codename: Sailor V GN 1
If nothing else, the release of this series is a landmark for many older fans who never dreamed they would get to read it. While it isn't as good as what comes after, it is still worth reading if only because you can.

Oreimo Complete Limited Edition DVD Box Sub.DVD
The concept of a seemingly perfect little sister having a secret passion for ero games may sound salacious, but the series delivers a surprisingly entertaining and satisfying exploration of both covert otakudom and sibling relationship dynamics without wallowing in clichés.
