Newest Volume of Anthology ‘Yuri Drill’ Includes a Transgender CharacterThe latest volume in Kadokawa’s Yuri Drill anthology series was released in Japanese on March 27. Included in the volume was an entry about a transgender Yuri pairing.The single-page entry, written and illustrated by Yuusuke Shiba (I’ve Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level), is entitled “TS Yuri.” TS here is short of transs****l, a term many people in the LGBTQ+ community consider to be outdated. It can be used in Japan to mean a genderbend/genderswap fiction (although many prefer the abbreviate TG for these purposes). It is possible that the author was unaware of the complexity of the term and its significance to the LGBTQ+ community.In the manga, two childhood friends ponder one girl’s gender identity, and one asserts staying as she now is, affirming her identity.Some online have questioned in reviews on BookWalker and Amazon if the chapter should be considered Yuri. However, while transgender representation is rare in Yuri, the inclusion of trans storylines and characters in Yuri dates back to the genre’s early manga roots. Confirming that transgender Yuri is indeed Yuri.Yuri Drill is a Yuri anthology featuring various artists, including Fly, Milk Morinaga, Itou Hachi, Saburouta, and many more. The fifth entry includes works by 31 artists. Entries in the anthology are a single page, although artists often have multiple stories in each anthology centered around a theme such as Yuri marriage or boobs in Volume 5. They are accompanied by a single interview question, for example, “briefly explain the intention of your Yuri.”Yuri Drill is not currently licensed for English release.
