Yuri Doujins
>This month rather than ordering direct from Mandarake, I will be doing an order via a proxy, so if you would like to see a doujinshi or an artbook from any of the following sites let me know by posting it either on the board or speak to me on IRC.

Question thread
Me and the board owner were talking on Rizon in #8/u/ (mandatory plug) and I got to wondering just how many posters we have and how familiar with old 4chan /u/ they actually are and how they even heard of this board etc. So I've come up with a small list of questions that I'd like you to answer just so we can get to know the board's population a bit better. I'll also answer my own questions.
1. How long have you been browsing 8/u/ - and how often do you check 8/u/?
I'm probably the oldest poster on this board (in terms of when I began posting) and responsible for a large number of the threads created here. This board came into existence around the time GG's first exodus happened IIRC. Some of my posts from 2014 are still here in this thread: http://8ch.net/u/res/78.html - I know I have a few earlier posts but that was one of the threads I made that I still remember making. For a time it felt like I was the only one here and other people might post maybe once in a blue moon. Recently things have got a little more active here.
For a while I only checked once a week (that's how slow it was) although recently I've been checking multiple times a day (which is a little too much at this time but a good sign IMO).
2. How'd you even hear about 8/u/?
I just immediately looked for yuri after arriving on 8ch during the exodus.
3. Did you browse 4chan's /u/ and how long did you browse?
A number of years since at least 2010. Was familiar and watched yuri prior to then but had no where to talk about it so I got annoyed and searched around before settling on 4/u/.
4. How familiar are you with yuri?
Extremely.
5. What are you favorite yuri series (can list as many as you want)?
Kannazuki no Miko
6. Favorite Yuri Pairings?
The Big Three: Shiznat (Shizuru/Natsuki), Shiznag(Shizuma/Nagisa), Chimeko(Chikane/Himeko)

Read and discuss what you want. I operate the acct at the top and there are a bunch of fics there that I didn't list here that are also worth reading and in some cases downloading. Post any fic you want to add to the list in the acct in this thread and we'll see about adding it to the list. Also post anything from AO3 that you like.
I need to add a bunch more to that list so feel free to make suggestions.

I'm watching Sailor Moon R. It's very sugoi. Up to episode 52.
Kindred Spirits To Go On Steam Uncensored
The VN itself: https://vndb.org/v8508
I really hope this is going to be good. That and being uncensored is good as well.
These yuri boards need to stop.
The purpose of life is to perpetuate the species. Two girls cannot reproduce; two girls would not make good parents; sociologists agree children reared in gay households are more likely to be homosexual.
All this proves yuri is immoral and wrong. It's just science.
Yuri Release Image Dump Thread
Just gonna post some of the better mangas and doujins that get posted in the current release thread. Not all of this is gonna be translated but my definition of better typically means big boobs, older girls, and a good art style.
Starting with this doujin: http://exhentai.org/g/900830/38c9c34ec7/
What are you gonna be watching this season?
>Potential /u/ shows
Bakuon!!
Hai Fury
Kiznaiver (only listing this cause it is Trigger)
>Potential /u/ in the form of side characters
Macross Delta (pink and green)
>Confirmed
Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Crystal: Death Buster Hen (it should be but this is crystal so even if it confirmed it will likely be terrible)
Remember her, /u/?
Since this /u/ has some cuck/u/ oldfags, I have a little question: Do you guys still don't like Erica Friedman from Okazu?
You see, every board has one or two token douchebags (Ex:Tom Preston for /co/) and Erica was old /u/'s. When someone posted something in a thread that was considered Tumblr-like nowdays, a occasional "Hello, Erica." comment would pop up.
Personally, I don't browse Okazu in years so I can't even remember why I didn't liked her opinions.
8/u/ rec chart
I think it would be a good idea to get a board recommendation chart for yuri anime and manga. There's a lot of classic content that goes unnoticed. It would be used in a sticky to greet newcomers to the board.
Anime suggestions
Rose of Versailles
Marimite
Onii-sama E
Utena
Strawberry Panic
Manga suggestions
Prism
Shoujo Sect
Sasameki Koto
Aoi Hana
O.k., I've been holding this thought secret for a while now because I thought this doujin would be made eventually, but it's been several years and it hasn't been made and I'm beginning to think I'm the only one who has thought this.
So…here goes.
Does Parsee use Yuugi's horn on her head like a dildo or what?
A mascot for /u/
As those who lurk other boards probably know, 8chan's 2nd birthday is coming up real soon.
For approximately a week, an image with what will probably be the board tans will be featured on the website. Each board is coming up with a board tan and such, and we need to show up with a /u/-tan of our own. This will be a free ad all year long.
The deadline is the 23rd, so we gotta do this fast.
source fr manga archive
I'm having to ditch all my anime downloads because in 2wks I'm going to 3gb a month internet. i'd like to get a manga archive by then so i can survive a few months without my internet addiction, but idunno where to download manga anymore (have been sticking mostly to anime the last 6 yrs and all the old download sites are long since gone). Can y'all help me find a source for bulk download? Dynasty scans ain't cutting it and I don't have a good torrent tracker for manga.

Write fag thread
Post any story ideas you want to see written. Be descriptive about everything you want to see in it. Include the characters and what anime/manga they are from etc. Upload images from the source material as well so the writer knows what the character looks like etc.
Note for me personally: I'm not keen on lolis. Like my girls to have some plot on them if you know what I'm saying. Also a bit of an old fag but I do like some new things like pic related.

Let's have a doujinshi thread, shall we?Yuri Game Jam
Yuri Game Jam September 1st
Hello, thought this may interest y'all:
https://www.lewdgamer.com/2015/08/17/yuri-game-jam-announced/
http://itch.io/jam/yuri-game-jam
1. Your story must be about a relationship between two or more women.
2. If the story features romance, the characters should be implicitly or explicitly queer.
So… unlike this board, I'd expect to have more western aesthetics. If anyone here also /agdg/ why not sign up as well?
Question, since I'm just an ignorant cisgender, what does it mean to be explicitly queer? Does it mean "real lesbians" instead of "girls trying to cater to pervs"?

Yuri Danshi
First two out of four chapters I think got translated.
http://dynasty-scans.com/series/yuri_danshi
These pages spoke to me as to why I like yuri. And it seems to be a good commentary on the genre as well. Looking forward to more.
~~~MASTURBATION~~~
At the risk of starting a cringe-worthy discussion, can I discuss masturbation in yuri manga?
Whenever I see a manga or doujin that has this tag, I feel like I have "better luck" with it. I'm not exactly sure why, but the romance or the connection between the characters seems "more complete" when there ends up being a scene where one of the characters is or has masturbated.
I find this really quite surprising. I suppose this is a surprise is because masturbation is considered or given the context in western spheres as something only a solitary person would do, or that a 'loser' would do. However, this often is decidedly not the case the majority of the time in its depiction in yuri. Of course, there are manga where a character has a one-sided over-the-top crush with another character to the extent of masturbating to them and it ends up unrequited, but this is really rare in my experience. Most often it's like the pic related, where the relationship is either pretty much a given conclusion or even more likely already established.
I think it makes it seem 'better' because the characters come out so much more real as a result of this. One character turns out to have a bond that is not some purely platnoic ivory tower exercise. A bond that is all too human and relateable. A common thread of desire is exhibited, for sure. But all the same something seems romantic about it as well, and I'm not quite sure that I can put a finger as to why either.
Well…apologies for the weird rant…
So, first of all, does anyone else here feel the same way? That having masturbation in yuri makes it better, more real, somehow?
