On the cover of the recent July issue of NewType magazine, it was announced that manga "Akuma no Riddle" (Riddle Story of Devil) will be animated in 2014. The manga is written by Kouga Yun, drawn by Minnakata Sunao, and has been serialized in NewType since September 2012. The first volume will be published on July 10th. In December 2012, the manga was adapted into a social game for mobile phones named "Akuma no Riddle AK" The summary of the story is as follows: The story is set at Myoujou Academy, a private boarding school for girls. All the students in the 10th year's Kurogumi class are assassins pursuing one target, Ichinose Haruka. Azuma Tokaku also goes after her and is recently transferred into the school. However, she gradually gets attracted by the warmth of Haruka. Source: NewType July issue cover Story by GoldenBRS, Stark700 Akuma no Riddle on MAL |

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

Yun Koga is famous shounen-ai mangaka and Sunao Minakata(why without link, he has a MAL entry?) is a shoujo-ai mangaka but more famous for his Toho yuri doujins Personally I very much prefer to use the word yuri instead of shoujo-ai because in Japan now the meaning of shoujo-ai is almost always "love for little girl", that is pedophilia. |

I always looked at shoujo-ai as something with a more serious form of female x female romance, where yuri is something more playful. But I suppose that's just how I interpret it as a western anime fan. I've never heard any kind of mention of how shoujo-ai can apply to pedophilia either. I think I'll just stick to calling it yuri then. |

Nachtwandler_21 said: Hmm... I think only the westerners stick to that obsolete usage. At least in Chinese speaking communities in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong (and I think English speaking Singapore too) the term to use is always Yuri (or its writing in kanji). I dearly hope that the usage of the term of "Shoujo-ai" can be phased out among western fans because the usage difference can potentially cause misunderstanding between international fans.Me to. But most of non-japaneese people unfortunately think that "yuri" = "lesbian hentai" while "shoujo-ai" = "lesbian romance" |

Nachtwandler_21 said: Seems we have at least two different ways to distinguish the two terms by western fans... I guess it just goes to show how ill-defined the two terms are, which is expected because in Japanese during the old days the two terms meant the same thing (that is they both cover everything from light and softcore to serous and hardcore).But most of non-japaneese people unfortunately think that "yuri" = "lesbian hentai" while "shoujo-ai" = "lesbian romance" |

Depending on the studio this could turn out so damn well and it being aired in 2014 enables the manga to produce more content. |

Hopefully this series can be both just as yuri-riffic but also, ah, better. =P I know, this was one of the most schematic stories I've ever seen, it might have been good, if it would be around 13 episodes. The way it was made reminded me of most naive shoujo manga, this time with girls' romance only. Too bad, since the characters were pretty cute. |

Yeah, when I first watch Strawberry Panic, it was average. And I read the review of it, looks like the ending will be suck. I like the blue hair better. But that series is for only first time watching yuri people. Hope this series will be awesome. |
