Well, the day is almost done (as is my trip in Atlanta-- I'm leaving tomorrow evening), but there's still listing to be had! Let's get to it.
U.S.
Strawberry Panic-- #5 best yuri manga of '08!
- Let's open up with something a little bit different: the Top Ten Yuri Manga of 2008, courtesy of Erica Friedman at Okazu.
- Moving along to the usual suspects...man, it's been a while since we've seen a manga in the USA Today booklist. When's the next Naruto coming out again?
- And I'll cut this short with Anime on DVD's follow-up to the five things US anime companies did wrong this year-- the five things they did right in '08.
Japan
- Japan's box office stats haven't updated as of this writing, so I'm afraid I can't give you the weekend update on that one just yet. I'll make a separate post for it, I guess!
Ponyo - Mostly minimal shifting on the top singles and album charts, but it's worth noting that the Bleach Best Tunes CD hit #4 on Oricon's chart after it's December 17 release. Studio Ghibli no Uta, a best-of two-CD collection featuring tunes from a variety of Ghibli films (including the most recent, Ponyo on a Cliff by the Sea), also sneaked into the 10 spot.
- In DVDs, the premium edition of Hana Yori Dango Final (the recent live-action film) was the second-best-selling for the week, with Kara no Kyoukai's first film in third.
- And I'll end this by noting that absolutely nothing interesting happened on the top anime ranking, i.e. Sazae-san, Chibi Marukko-chan, Crayon Shin-chan, etc. are all tops.

I enjoy reading yuri mangas as well. I have Chirality by Satoshi Urushihara in English which was published by CPM back in the mid-nineties. I am wondering if it will get re-licensed again and published in the traditional right-to-left format. The edition I have is the standard American comic book format tradepaperback. Yes, I thought it was annoying to publish mangas in monthly standard American comic book format!
Iiiii remember Chirality. What a weird manga XD
Void_Wizard: Personally? You can't go wrong with Maka-Maka if you want something explicit; it's just a beautifully done manga. It's a bit more expensive than standard but well worth it for all the production value bonuses and goodies XD
As for something a little more standard, Kashimashi is a fun series.

For fans of English Yuri manga and anime, Yuricon has the largest Yuri-related shop on the Internet. Check out the Shop page at http://www.yuricon.org/shop.
My suggestions for 2008 are, as you saw, Maka-Maka for adult, Hayate x Blade for action, S.S. Astro for 4-koma, Kashimashi ~ Girl Meets Girl for the most excellent reproduction I've ever seen and a story that didn't suck entirely, and the Strawberry Panic manga and light novels for a good laugh. Going into 2009, I will shamelessly suggest you pre-order "Yuri Monogatari 6" the newest Yuri anthology from ALC Publishing. :-)
Cheers,
Erica
