colleen the shojosei whisperer of 2024
JOSEI YURI IM LOCKED IN IM AWAKE
if you made a whole video dedicated to yuri recs I would combust
I CONCURRRRR
LETS GO LESBIANS!
Have you read Donuts Under a Crescent Moon yet?
just when i was thinking it’s too bad we’ll just have to wait and see if these get licensed, you came in with that plot twist! manga god colleen needs to recharge their powers after that one ✨
And from VIZ no less???!!! Wild times we're in
The irony of a lot of these titles being licensed in French and Colleen blessing us with that “FASHION” and multitude of cHAMpignIONs 😂
Colleen you need a magical shoujosei girl catchphrase for your manifestation powers ✨
ikaku nikki getting both anime adaptation and live action movie is insane
we're living in the best timeline
That is such a well written series. I love it so much.
I had no idea about the anime! Can you link me to the news? That is my favorite manga.
I binged the series a couple months ago, and it just punched me in the feelings over and over. seriously as long as the anime actually moves. the studio behind it doesn't have a ton of credits, but there's no red flags there. and Kensuke Ushio's doing the music! so it's going to SOUND great. some of those emotional scenes backed up by soft music would just be...amazing.
I love this channel because we can all come here and appreciate how good shoujo manga is 😌
Hear! Hear!
Same 😭😭😭 It feels like a safe haven for shoujo lovers
The Seven Knights of Marronnier Kingdom was chosen as the number one manga for female readers in 2018 by the Kono Manga ga Sugoi! annual magazine. Pinky Candy Kiss' description reminds me of the great Run Away with Me by Battan.
I think it may be closer to 'Even Though We're Adults' imo
I ACTUALLY SCREAMED AND CHEERED WHEN I SAW MR. MALLOW BLUE ON THE COVER ITS MY FAVOURITE SHOUJO DRAMA SERIES AND NO ONE EVER TALKS ABOUT IT!!!
Eila & the Distant King sounds so super intriguing! Now I'm the one sitting here going, "...please license?" And Champignon Witch also seems very much up my alley.
Bro, Colleen's drip goes HARD
I was so glad "A condition called love" got an anime
Yuri, witches, mushrooms, pink hair and a cute duck in the background. This had many of my favourite things.
Adults yuri you might like to check out: Still Sick, Doughnuts under a Crescent Moon, How do We Relationship?, Brides of Iberis, My Blue Garnet, Her Shim Cheong. I’m so happy you’re enjoying The Moon on a Rainy Night, defintely one of my fave.
It really sucks that most yuri manga is untranslated. There are so many amazing wlw stories out there and I really wish they were more accessible for english readers. Many of my favorite yuri series havent been offically licensed yet but i do hope that with the recent rise in popularity that yuri has seen that we may get some of the lesser known series in english. I mean it wasnt too long ago where we barely got one yuri anime a year but last year we got like 6!!
Ive even been seeing some series i love get licensed like just a few months ago we got the news that "i want to love you till your dying day" is going to get an english release next year!! I read it around 4 years ago and it really stuck with me i cant wait to see how it holds up!! And with "the guy she was interested in wasnt a guy at all" getting an english release i cant help but be excited for the yuri genre!!
And with your manifestation abilities please get "sukeban to tenkousei" licensed i beg
I'm really intrigued by Champignon Witch. I never read Gakuen Alice, but the setting is right up my alley
One old manga I wish was in English is Chiisana Ochakai, a 4 koma manga about a cute anthropomorphic cat couple. The art is very cute and while I don't speak Japanese, it looks very timeless and cozy,
21:40 the way I gasped omg!! Colleen is officially the Rosé of the manga community, they're gonna start receiving lists of manga ppl want published now lmao
Lmaooo wait are you referring to how rose always breaks up couples after a picture of them comes out??!! 🤣🤣
I really needed this so bad, I need new manga to read 😭😭
I WAS SO GLAD WHEN VIZ LICENSED PINK CANDY KISS!! I hope we get it in spanish too 🥺🥺 But if not, now I know I can always get it in english, which at least is an option available for me 🙏
I had no idea some of these mangas were considered obscure, especially Mr. Mallow Blue (but tbf, I'm the type to scroll on genre tags to find new stuff to read/watch as a pass time). Im glad you're using your powers to spread word of them tho much love
Yes! Someone talking abt Pinky Candy Kiss! I absolutely adore this manga. Great characters, story, art, and deep feelings. It has such a unique tone and reminds of Takako Shimura.
Mr. Mallow blue is already getting a German release, by Tokyopop for anyone interested an I can confirm it's really good
There are a couple shoujo fantasy series that have recently begun serialization in Yuri Hime that I'm really enjoying: Garan no Hime, a sort of post-apocalyptic science fantasy / steampunk Chobits, and The Best Ending in the World, about a graveyard keeper and her undead companion / familiar / protector. Both have great fantasy art - Garan no Hime reminds me a little of Land of the Lustrous - and the fact that both are published in Yuri Hime means that they're not coy about delivering the yuri goods.
Pinky Candy Kiss is probably the best new adult-focused yuri series going (I've already picked up both volumes in print), but if I were going to pick one other recent adult yuri series to be manifested into a license, it would be the recently completed My Sister's Best Friend, My Lover, which stands out for me both because it ends up heading in a wildly different direction than its premise would indicate (which is aptly summarized by the title, with a soupçon of maybe-incest stirred in) but also because it is a very quiet series that works precisely because it is so subtle and subdued. A really pleasant surprise for me, and reasonably compact at 4 volumes without feeling rushed or incomplete.
Also if anybody felt like licensing literally any of Tokuwo Tsumu's series, starting with the effervescently charming Ise-san and Shima-san, I would readily buy them again in English. Her art is on par with Battan's (Run Away With Me Girl, as well as a ton of other great stuff that is still unlicensed HINT HINT) and her stories are always adult and frequently extremely moving.
Outside of yuri, if somebody would license Kashimashi Meshi (it already has a live-action drama, for crying out loud!), Onna no Sono no Hoshi (it already has an OVA, for crying out loud!), or Nagi no Oitoma (it already has a live-action drama, for crying out loud!), I'd really appreciate it. There REALLY aren't enough translated josei works out there.
I was shocked by how well My Sister's Best Friend, My Lover veered away from problematic tropes. kind of baited with the spice which drove my morbid curiosity, only to become genuinely heartwarming. it's all about moving past an impossible crush to something real - it's just like, you know, the impossible crush is her own sister.
I just wanted to say I'm finally reading Chihayafuru thanks to your constant lobbying and it's really, really good. There is a printed version available in my country but it seems nobody is reading it or talking about it at all, which is mind-blowing to me
not me watching this and going "the first few were nice but pinky candy kiss is the one I'd seriously want to get picked up" and then uhhhhhhhh
colleen saving this saturday 😭💗
LMFAOOOOO which boy from the challengers would be taichi bit made me laugh so hard
Thank you!! I will be checking all of these out since I've been out of the loop
Colleen plz do magical girl genre in shoujo next! I'm used to be a big fan of magical girl anime series like Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, Mermaid Melody, Tokyo Mew Mew, Kamichama Karin, Princess Tutu, Minky Momo, Magical Emi, Pastel Yumi, Mary Bell, Dr. Rin, Ultra Maniac, Sweet Mint, Ojamajo Doremi, Power Puff Girls Z, etc. imo discussing about magical girl genre in depth plus their development and status in the current era would be interesting!
“Hello my hojos” I love it and loved the skit now I’m subscribed
I SCREAMED when you said we're getting Pinky candy kiss. UGH. I WILL BUY.
The Seven Knight of Marronnier Kingdom sounds like so much fun! I loved reading Gold Kingdom & Water Kingdom, as per your recommendation. All of these titles here sound so intriguing. Thank you for this video and all that you do to further shojosei manga!
I'm 4 chapters in of Mr Mallow Blue now and already in love
Thanks for the rec!
We’re almost out of the scanlation shadow realm 🥹
Wow Patrick is the Taichi of Challengers
you get it
I’ll miss your vids Colleen! Thanks for the reccs love your channel!
Just wanted to say that this might have my favorite opening skit of yours! It feels like a fun call-back to your other videos (the game show host, referencing Colette and other series, and of course Taichi being best boy). I'm glad to see the Colleen Cinematic Universe is expanding :3
Wonderful video, thank you for putting this together, really made my evening.
I had no idea that the witch one was done by the gakuen alice mangaka, might have to give that one a buy the next chance I can get
The best superpower! Great episode, I love the skits.
Oh I read Matsurika Kanriden a few years ago but forgot the title, I'm so glad for the reminder!!
And of course the other six manga look excellent, definitely need to check them out!
I was so sad we probably wouldn’t be getting pinky candy kids in English anytime soon and then there you go right there Viz appears as foretold by legend
Thanks for the recommendations :)
Great video today love your Manga recommendations.🤩👏
Thank you, shojoseius
Thank you! Your hair looks super cool btw :)
Your editing has gotten so good🤩🤩🤩🤩
Some of those pick my interests for sure...😊 I can wait to read them after I finish Queens Quality and The witch and the Beast series first
I want Champignon Witch SOOOO BAD!!! I request it on every Seven Seas survey. 🙈
thank you for all your recommendations :)
I can't wait to have some money to start buying these manga. Colleen keep up the great recommendations.
the title says I've never heard of them but I've read some of two of them. because they shared a particular tag on a site that starts with M and ends with x and is banned in several countries. both of them are insanely good though and I'd love to read them with better translations (the ones that exist aren't godawful but they're not top shelf by fan translation standards by any means).
everything I HAVEN'T heard of here sounds great, I'm just taken completely off guard that I actually knew 2/6.
asdhkhgfd I can't believe they licensed Pinky candy kiss, Colleen shoujo jesus real!!!!!
I'm so happy you talked about Mr. Mallow Blue. It's liscenced in Germany and I've been reading it for a while but I've seen absolutely no one talk about it. The story, the art, the characters and their relationship with each other, everything about it is so good. Hopefully this gets more people to check it out.
I'm so surprised that a lot of people love it!! I didn't think it was so well known and especially outside of America it seems
Not me looking for the German copies now lol
Only because of Colleen's video I discovered that the manga is out in German language for two years already. Never paid attention to the series before, but now I'll give it a try!
So many of these sound interesting but it's too bad I'm allergic to ongoing series 🤧 Will keep them on my radar though (also it's so funny since I was listening to "how sweet" before I watched this video)
i'm very excited to check these out!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow Mr Mallow Blue and Champignon Witch both sound amazing.
NVM THEY ALL SOUND SO GOOD T-T I want them all....
nice!!! these are a cool range
I'm now running to read Pinky Candy Kiss 🏃🏼♀️ and I'm super excited about the VIZ release, There's a lack of Yuri manga licensed and it saddens me 😢
Can't wait for all of these to be licensed
optimism at its finest
Champignon Witch is such a beautiful story! It would be amazing if we got an English translation. 💖
Maaaaaan Matsurika Kanriden sounds right up my alley and it really sucks knowing we're probably never gonna get it in English, along with anything else from Princess/Mystery Bonita. (thanks Akita Shoten) Also loving your newfound manifestation powers, hopefully it keeps up for the rest of the year so we can keep getting new and interesting Shoujo! (Yen Press has been getting a lot of Asuka series lately so hopefully that boads well for Mr.Mellow Blue!)
I've read pink and candy kiss and I love it so far, I would love for it to be published in English and can't wait to read more, the story and artwork is beautiful!
venerable shoujo jesus colleen, could you mention Kanojo ga Kawaisugite Ubaenai again soon bc i need it and i've thought it was soon to come out for forever but NADA. anyways great picks as always :)
I WANT IT TOO 😭😭😭 at this point we may get yojouhan no ibarahime first it seems
oh, i heard about the first two before they're both licenced in french! Someone gave me Mr. Mallow Blue vol.1 as a present last christmas so maybe i should buy the next volumes
Cool vid, I’ll check out Pinkie Candy Kiss :).
Manifesting Honey Bitter to get an English release 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Everyone wake up! Ms Colleen dropped!
Okay Colleen mention kpop and doing the Supernova dance move made my day! 🎉
Colleen I just started getting into chihayafuru bc of you xoxox
Oh 16:01 ... I really thought it was a court drama (like courtroom, and an ongoing crime case) I was like, yeah, I am not much a fan of law stories as well 😂 was a bit confused with school but maybe a story of aspiring lawyers.
Well, this makes much more sense now ...
Also... not even maid or courtesan gave me a hint, as I was thinking that yeah. Maybe it's a common topic for them to stand in court ti be judged or sentenced 😂...
More josei and shojo is good i hope that we can also get more horror manga stateside as well
They could hit two birds with one stone and bring over Kanako Inuki works!
Perfect, now I have more manga for my "want to read" list. The list is already over, 9000 ...
Funny that Mr. Mallow Blue didn't came out in English speaking territories but it's already on going in Germany! I really love this Manga
Colleen, keep digging up some shojo gold for us! 🎉 The manga gods listen
5:12 I mean not ALL of us are complaining
I complain more about toxic yaoi tbh
Colleen kpop reference ❤ also yes great recs as always
I want them tooooo!!!
Me watching to know what to buy when these title will be licensed in Poland someday 👀
Yo have you seen the new chihaya nendo update?! Thought of you when I saw it
The seven knights of the marronnier kingdom yes 👏 Nao Iwamoto stan here 💝 🕯️ manifesting a video about this wonderful artist 🕯️
Before I watch this, I just want to say that only the other day did I read Pinky Candy Kiss, and it is very good. I could only read seven chapters, but still. And the art is amazing!
Also, Eila is be pronounced as "aylah", I believe.
Slight spoiler(?):
(I do sort of feel bad for the husband since he seems really nice, but then again, Ema doesn't really seem to be in love with him).
Colleen Christ has blessed us once again 🙏✨️🥲
Colleen I love youuu
New Colleen video 👀
0:22-0:25: Picto Habañero? I know I'm mishearing this, but don't know what it's supposed to be.
Edit: never mind. I see at 1:43 that it's "Pink to Habañero." :D
One more time Collen giving her blessings to us, mortals shojo/josei enjoyers. May the Yuri Godness be with you
Have you read Tears Over Withered Flowers?
Bless you Shojosei Jesus
Thank you Josei Jesus!!!!!
Can you anime whisper S2 or Remaking Yona of the Dawn PLEASE!!!!
Strong second for Mr Mallow blue, which is very messy and queer and captivating. Also, if you can read French, not only is it licensed, but the edition is beautiful, just for information 😉
I email so many companies every year trying to get Animal X translated.......
Yuri josei!!! Heck yeah!
I mean if your the shojosei whisper maybe we will finally get 7 seeds in English ha ha
Thank you again for spreading the good word and getting us to do so as well. All hail Josei Jesus. 🙌🏽💕🎉
matsurika kanriden synapsis strangely resembles saiunkoku monogatari ... or am i just a sucker for chinese-like cort dramas?
I've been meaning to read that one
💖 Save us Shojo Jesus-sama! 💖
i Looooooveeeee Mr mallow blue aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
