As the title says. This is a thread for obscure stuff you have or know about that don't seem to have any methods of being read or watched online. This is also a request thread for anyone interested in tracking down and uploading lost yuri media.
Pics are of an old yuri hentai manga I recently learned of called Battle Binder Plus -Kekkosoko Karon, drawn by Rulia 046, who was one of Kazushi Hagiwara's assistant's for Bastard!!, and more relevantly, did illustrations for the Dirty Pair Flash LN's. From the little info I could gather it features "lesbian cyborg sex and mayhem" and "gruesome violence", and the MC is a space cop. It was licensed in the 90's by Antartic Press and presumably releaseed in single-issue comicbook format, but like most licensed manga from that era, scans of those versions are hard to come by, and raws don't even seem to exist. Even if it turns out to be shit I'm interested in checking it out as I love old-school 80's and 90's manga art and the little info I have sounds right up my alley.
>>3136688If you find raws, could you post them. I am interested in reading this
>>3136728The good news is that I *might* have a few issues laying around. I brought a lot of single-issue comics when I had a local comic shop and I could very well have purchased an issue and then forgot about it due to the sheer quantity of things I bought. The bad news is even if I did have any issues, I don't have a scanner, so you'd have to deal with shitty camera shots.
Guardian Recall for the PC-98 and PSX. I'm not sure it counts since it's not lost media but it's both obscure and untranslated. I mentioned it some time ago in the game thread but basically it's a SRPG where just about every character is a girl. The story isn't anything special but the characters are likeable. As for the yuri content the two on the top right become unsubtly gay for each other as the game goes on. Especially near the end where Misato, the short haired one, basically proposes to Keiko, the long haired one, by telling her that she wants to become family with her to which Keiko agrees to. The epilogue at the end also states that the two of them are happily living alone together. The rest of the girls on the hero team vary a bit on the yuri level with some characters having really good chemistry but nothing on the same level as the other two. The villain team are also pretty gay for the most part with the gayest being a sadistic dyke that loves to collect cute girls to use as playthings. She also has the majority of the sex scenes in the PC-98 version which naturally aren't in the PSX version, but the implications are still there and her character remains the same. There's also a minor joke character where the joke is that she's the only obstinately straight girl in the party and really wishes she could be doing anything other than traveling with a bunch of girls that don't even have the slightest interest in guys, she does have the least amount of screentime though if that seems annoying.
>>3137116Imma play this tonightresurrecting this useful-ass thread
>>3140951Nice. I should mention first though that if you expect some super gay adventure from start to end you'll be disappointed since it's more of a hot blooded action story with some yuri thrown in than a story that exclusively focuses on the relationships between the girls. Think something along the lines of Symphogear or Toji no Miko.Also I don't know which version you're going for but if it's the PSX one then nearly every chapter has around 2-4 conversation events between the characters. These events boost stats and are one of the few sources of getting equipment since there aren't any shops. If the map has a boss then certain characters can also have a conversation with them, but this is hard to pull off since you have to move the character right next to the boss, usually leaving them open to attacks from enemy guardians, it also fully heals the boss and boosts their stats. It might sound counter productive, but it also boosts the stats of the character that talks with them and certain bosses drop equipment only after doing so. Two characters are a bit special though, Sayaka is a weirdo so some of her conversation events lower the stats of who she's talking to and Ruri, the aforementioned straight girl, lowers her own stats in the majority of her events since she really doesn't want to be traveling with a bunch of girls.Also as a heads up when you get to the part where you have to fight against the villain's big 4 you'll have to split up all your characters, but you won't know the order you fight them until after you split them up and save so I'll just say it in advance. The order is Megumi, Reiko, Satomi, and then Tomomi. Make sure Jin fights Megumi, Naoe fights Satomi, and Misato fights Tomomi for special dialog.
>>3141068thanks anon!
>>3141236If you ever get stuck on anything else this site helped me quite a bit when I was playing the PSX version. I haven't been able to find much for the PC98 one though, which is a bit troublesome since that's the harder one.http://gemanizm.main.jp/retrogamejaxx/game_guardian.html
>>3136680What qualifies as obscure?
>>3142230My sex life.
>>3142230If it regularly gets treads or is often mentioned then it doesn't qualify as obscure. Anything else is probably just up to your personal discretion.
>>3142230Anything that you can't find with a simple google search, to the point where it's practically lost media. Also what >>3143788said.
Has anyone heard of Princess Minerva or know if it's yuri or not? I figured I might as well ask here since this is the thread for forgotten stuff. It's a RPG on the PC Engine and SNES where all the characters are girls. The SNES version has an English patch and there was also an OVA made for it. It seems like it might be yuri, but I know better than to assume that something might be yuri just because there aren't any guys around. If no one knows then I'll just dive into it myself and report back.
>>3136688Just requested it in Seven Seas survey because "why not"? I don't know if they take hentai requests seriously, much less if they publish any under their Ghost Ship imprint, but it was worth a shot anyway.
Life saving bump
>>3136793Did you ever find them?
Not really obscure, but I've waited years for someone to translate this and no one has done it:https://exhentai.org/g/1277144/8276785105/
>>3175301>i've waited years!>released during comiket 94>10 Aug 2018 – 12 Aug 2018>literally less than two yearsHoly shit, anon, lurk forever.
>>3175452hey, that technically counts as "years"
>>3175452As a neet, a year feels like 3. If I had money I would have already commissioned a translator group.
>>3175293Not yet, unfortunately. Fucked up sleep schedule and general laziness are getting in the way.
(C34) [Studio Awake (Fujita Yukihisa)] Jyoshikoh Panic>https://exhentai.org/g/858000/c1828b501b/Funny story of girls being lewd while car racing/speeding
>>3156104It has an english DVD release (I had it from ADC) but never watched. It is probably just silly bikini armor girls doing cute things OVA, something like 90s precursor to Queens Blade.If anidb doesn't have yuri tags, don't expect any. Also, there was almost no yuri anime in 1980s/1990s
>>3187692Haha, I know that one
Bump
>>3136688>>3136728There are copies of this found on Amazon US, not even that expensive except for the delivery fees outside the US. So if you're in the US, you might want to check those out.
Ah, such nostalgic character designs! Anime from the 80s and 90s had such cute character designs.
>>3196293Bump again.
>>3205211At least post something if you're gonna bump. People are not gonna get suddenly interested if you just keep bumping meaninglessly without any content.
>>3140951So, how's the playthrough so far?
Sometimes you see something that makes you wonder; how on earth did this get a official release?So is any one familiar with Senno Knife's Valkyr serie?Not only is it yuri, not only was it released around the 80s, it was also officially translated in English by Sexy Fruit.It even has a interesting story to tell. it's about a future lesbian Gestapo, hunting androids. sadly I can't seem find the other volumes
>>3215537
>>3215539
>>3215540Truth be told Valkyr isn't my favorite work of Senno Knife. But I do find it fascinating how this got a official English release.
>>3215541That is interesting. Probably got picked up for cheap and sold to randoms who buy from a smut label not caring what it was since the internet wasn't the same back then.
Any updates for BBP?
>>3220025Still haven't found any physical copies on my end, but I did find a few issues on sale. The only copy of #1 I found went for over $29 on Amazon, and that's not including shipping. Issue 5 is slightly less expensive, going for $22, and fortunately issue 2 is significantly cheaper going for less than $10. The other issues can be found on sites like ebay for similarly reasonable prices, with the most expensive being the final issue at $16.95. I can't buy any of the ones that aren't available on Amazon, but it's better if someone that actually has a scanner gets them anyway.For any fellow /u/sers with a scanner, please consider purchasing them when you have the chance. If linking to sales sites like Amazon or Ebay is allowed I'll post links to the issues directly to make it easier. Likewise for any sisters that can into moon, please feel free to search on Japanese sales sites and report back what you can find.Japanese title is BATTLE BINDER PLUS―結合装甲カローン or 結合装甲カローン(ヒットC版)
>>3215537Read the first two chapters. Good shit, though a bit confusing with the dream thing. It also seems that the third chapter is missing on nHentai?
>>3223281Here's chapter 3> https://e-hentai.org/g/328173/38e41f4de8/I believe this site has all chapters of volume one. There should be a volume two, but this isn't uploaded anywhere where that I can find.Senno Knife usually draws horror and he draws his characters eyes with a lot of detail, its a style that not everyone likes.From what I've read from him the first story in this collection is my favorite.> https://e-hentai.org/g/1055009/5b12b4df6e/
>>3223634Much thanks. Bumping for later
>>3137116PC-98 also has run & gun mecha game Night Slave, which being an exclusive, also has eroge scenes. Unfortunately the only translation I'm aware of took a lot of liberties with the script...and is apparently machine tl quality to add salt to the wound
>>3234188Yeah the guy that did it also did the translation for Dead of the Brain and one other game which was also a mix of bullshit and MLT. When it got outed that he was making it up he went completely silent. I hope the same doesn't happen with Possessioner, but the people working on it seem to be taking their time with it so it might not be the case. The guy that was doing MTL translations did them around a week of each other.
>>3234188is it yuri only?
>>3234293As far as I can tell yes. At least there are no het scenes.
>>3136680some of the comics are on amazon
>>3215541Talking about WW2-themed Yuri, I requested this Pixiv manga to be translated on a "translation request" thread months ago but there have been no updates since then afaik.I didn't understood much but it's apparently set after the Soviet invasion of Sakhalin in 1945, where a Russian-Jewish(?) girl who was in a Nazi concentration camp falls in love with a Japanese refugee girl from Sakhalin, the manga has a language gap so they only understand each other in the lesbo physical language, It's in Japanese and a mixture of Ukrainian and Russian.https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/56397473
Elemental Recall deserves a huge remake and someone can get the rights to it.
>>3255848What is that? Google gives no relevant results.
>>3136688this isn't that obscure, since its on nhentai, but this reminded me of the manga Ragnarock City by Urushihara Satoshi. It has that old-school 80s and 90s aesthetic as well as just overall very high-quality art. Its mostly ecchi focusing on nude art, but the two main girls are explicitly gay for each other and there are a few pages of them having sex at the end. https://nhentai.net/g/83670/
>>3255920I think that anon might have meant Guardian Recall. If they are then I totally agree. I don't know how well it did 20 years ago but I think it's the kind of thing that would have been more popular if it were to have release today than when it actually came out.
>>3187692I love this type of Lemon People-esque old art.
>>3260224It's sequel to Chirality which is yuri too (not so obscure since it is on to-read sticky of /u/ but I think people skip it and don't know it. Shame because the art is sweet.)Also Urushihara drew some extra oneshot sequels with different girls (descendants of the ones from the original manga?).https://e-hentai.org/s/5c8ba811a6/599573-90(pages 90-113)
>>3275208sauce of the manga.
>>3275218link in the post above
>>3275411Shit, sorry and thanks.
>>3250374This looks very interesting, would love to see it being translated one day.
>>3255848>>3260228Looks like an SRPG, and one that was never released internationally at that. Small wonder there's barely info on it since it looks like a standalone game that didn't get a multimedia push, and because it's an obscure narrative-heavily PS1 title, the chances of it getting a fan translation is zilch.
>>3215541I always forget they used to mirror localized mangoes back then.
On the topic of old, obscure games, someone suggested Otome Crisis in the video games thread a while ago:https://vndb.org/v479https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjMPlfpKEiYIt's a 2D sprite beat 'em up game with VN cut-scenes, and looks pretty interesting, but I'm not sure how much I can trust a game this old to deliver on the yuri side, so I was wondering if anyone here has played it and can offer some insights.I'm especially interested in knowing whether the protagonist gets into an actual relationship with a girl by the end (with some romantic development), or if the yuri is simply fan-service material.
>https://mangadex.org/title/21376/yuusha-no-mago-to-maou-no-musumeThis is actually still new and running, but for some reason (I guess, female protagonists, not a harem isekai) it keeps being untranslated since 2 years ago.
I wonder if it is too yuri for yurihaters but also not pure enough for yurifags.
also, the whores went even further
>>3295053Just looking at the author's twitter, it is aparent that the series is probably not Yuri enough for the yuri fans and not Het enough for the het fans eg: I choose the villainess series. Gotta pick a route and go all out these days.
>>3295113I like demon princess MILF released form prison after 50 years ending up as a yuri ship of a granddaughter of the dude that betrayed her and killed her demon king dad.How much yuri there will be, that's the question, I hope there will be enough if the subtitle is "Sakurako & Darkneria" but you never know of course.
>sample for ants
>>3295051>>3295053>>3295113Sounds like it would've been a bigger hit if it had released over a decade earlier, back in the era where Kannazuki and Mai Hime were still relevant in yuri circles
>>3295053For me Yuri is go big or go home.
>>3300843>>3300883The TL didn't get the the scene where heroine tries Sleeping Beauty treatment on the demoness (and they hold hands after that) so I'm left guessing what exactly goes on and "what kind of relationship" etc
I wonder if this is yuri development or if I 'm just having goggles moments
Would be a nice couple.
>>3291910Even if it doesn't deliver on the action side, it'd be cool to get more 2D action game and fighting game enthusiasts aware of it. One of the characters literally has Terry Bogard's Buster Wolf super.
>>3314761>deliver on the actionFuck, I meant yuri.
>>3291910>Lesbian Protagonist>Rapist Progaonist>Lesbian Rape>Girl x Girl onlyWell then...That said, it seems to be a crossover of several het-VN's, so obviously the yuri won't be "canon" to anyone other than the OC's. Still a good find.
There's a CN game recently translated to JP with about sword husbandos and a few girls. Would be nice if I knew chinese or nihong. >Roughly googled >"You keep staring at me...even if we are both girls, I'll be shy." There is something magical about ignoring all male options in favor of yuri.
>>3295051>new chapter appears on mangadex>group that just picks up announces it is dropping it because their staff left (second time this happened during last two chapters)>the chapter the ypost is so duwang MTL that they just delete it the same day anywayLooks like this s not going to get scanlated ever
don't you just love scanlator drama?
>>3323888well, I'm sad but on the bright side, at least Isekai Ojisan is slightly less cursed. Which is not /u/ but I absolutely love it.Still would like to get TLs for this manga (and it turning out good in the yuri department).
>>325037457 Pages is longer than I usually translate but I'd be interested in doing it since I'm on break at the moment.
>>3250374>>3324101If you need assistance with Russian, hit me up. While I don't _technically_ know Ukrainian, what I see in the comic is simple enough for me to understand.Japanese too, but I doubt you'll need help on that front.
>>3291910>scenario writers are maleIt would be quite shit even if its 100% yuri (unlikely).
>>3324918
>>3223634Lesbian II is amazing. The witch story is my favorite.
>>3325448Agreed, I recall I liked it a lot when Yuriproject released that. Though it was also a first time I saw that guy's style so a bit of a novelty.>>3323861oh, could it be, sudden yuri development?
>>3325520Damn, I hope I'm not goggling this for a disappointment (but, TLs never).Side note, those micro blankets always kill me. I hate when I don't have feet covered and here they are they have butt and crotch exposed!Is mangaland that hot damn? Am I oversensitive to cold so much?
>>3250374>>3324101>>3324521Any updates anons? remember to post on pastebin first.
>>3329164If the other anon isn't going to do it (but I assume they still are), I could do it myself later, but why pastebin and not just the completed pages?
Oh, it's a bloody Hokkaido dialect, goddammit...
I read the Sakhalin manga and I am now depressed as shit since this is also my country's (in a broad sense) history. I didn't exactly expect a happy fluffy yuri end, but this was, I don't know how better to express this, raw. The goddamn Komsomol badge zoom, too...
>>3250374For now let me just give you a short summary. USSR invaded Sakhalin at the end of WW2, started relocating people from the mainland there to take claim of the territory. No resources left after the war to build housing, so families were moved in into the houses of Japanese families. Masha and her mother (who served as an army doctor) move into Kiyoko's family's house, having been relocated from Ukraine (no, they're not Jewish, or they most likely would have been dead by now; and also Masha's father died in war).At first Masha and Kiyoko get into a fight since Kiyoko is kinda afraid of her, but eventually they grow rather close to each other. Masha actually does learn some Japanese as time goes on (and even teaches Russian to Kiyoko's mom to help her get interpretation and soviet factory jobs). Kiyoko's dad was taken by Soviet police before the story began, and now her cousin, who knew Russian due to socializing with Russians who lived on the island since before USSR and so was useful as a bridge between Soviets and the Japanese population, was arrested for alleged anti-Soviet activities and sent to Siberia for 25 years of forced labor (but really it's just another name of a death sentence). Kiyoko wants to take it out on Masha, but she calms her down with an old Ukrainian lullaby. They keep living together on good terms until Kiyoko and her mother are repatriated to Hokkaido, leaving the house to Masha and her mother (now working as a hospital chief).
>>3329571The prequel is Masha telling Kiyoko her story, how her village was overrun by Nazis and the Ukrainian militia that aided them, most of her friends and acquaintances were killed for either allegedly being partisans or from families of partisans, she and other kids who survived were beaten up and taken to a facility where kids were used for human experimentation, and those with Aryan traits were being prepared for adoption into German families (the Jewish population was routinely murdered somewhere nearby, as gunshots were heard in the facility). Masha was at first in the latter group, but due to insufficient height moved to the former and was also nearly killed by Himmler's "doctors" when Soviet forces finally rescued the remaining children.Kiyoko cried at hearing that story, Masha comforted her but also said that she doesn't need to cry, since in the end "Us Soviets defeated fascists, and defeated you Japanese as well", with an ominous zoom in on the VLKSM badge (a.k.a. Komsomol, organization for communist youth and a route to join the party proper later in life).In the end we learn that Kiyoko's dad was still alive and managed to rejoin the family who was now living in Hokkaido, taken in by relatives, so there's that silver lining at least. But Kiyoko and Masha never met again. Honestly, it's tagged as yuri (and by my definition it still is), but really this was just a depressing historical manga. The author's father was himself a repatriant from Karafuto/Sakhalin, so that explains all of the details.
What's the yuri situation in Devilman Lady?
>>3332404There's a ton of it, so much so most people classify it as Yuri, even if it has a het love triangle...in which the Yuri couple wins. (And then dies horribly, and the prot becomes Raiden from Metal Gear)
>>3332404fucking weird, which is par the course for Devilman series, the manga did have one pure yuri scene that I remember
>>3332442The anime adaption has far, far, far more, which is strange cause it's usually the reverse. There's a literal shark lesbian.
>>3332458Source?
>>3332404Haven't watched all of the anime, but the manga is pure schlocky trash, and not really yuri.
>>3332495Are you fucking serious, sis?
>>3332495Devilman Lady manga>>3332471yeah and the Shark lady eventually goes full on into /d/ territory>>3332511what just because one of the girls is actually a guy who used his psychic powers to turn himself into a girl to avoid an archangel's notice and THEN turned out to be the same person as the girl who had split themself into two people so they could give birth to a guy in Hell who happened to be the original Devilman. Oh and that person happened to be Satan whose a hermaphrodite.Seriously the last volume of Devilman Lady is fucking nuts
>>3329571>>3329573Thx for the basics anon, looking forward for a complete version, this is masterpiece material, regardless of the Yuri included, this is the most realistic and historically accurate manga about WWII that I have seen.
>>3329197>why pastebin and not just the completed pages?Because I'm a lazy fuck who wants to read the text ASAP before you take days to organize the speech bubbles.
>>3334590I personally prefer to read when the whole thing is done, I value the experience
>>3332560 I meant which chapter. Should have been more specific with my query
How yuri is this?>https://manga1000.com/%E3%80%90%E7%AC%AC1%E8%A9%B1%E3%80%91%E5%91%AA%E5%8D%B0%E3%81%AE%E5%A5%B3%E5%89%A3%E5%A3%AB%EF%BC%A0%EF%BC%A3%EF%BC%AF%EF%BC%AD%EF%BC%A9%EF%BC%A3-raw/
>>3332763It'd be stretch to say Devil Man Lady is even a "decent" manga, but it sure as hell was a ride never completed it since the /a/ storytime stoppedI do hope we get another DML anime though, with even more proper yuri than the last one of course. and preferably Yuasa free
>>3336195heh, look at this pious cleric maiden
she is bringing faith to the wretched places of sin that need it most, isn't she
>>3336195According to novelupdates, I has a romance tag but not a yuri one. Dunno how reliable they are, but it scares me nonetheless. Maybe someone in the ln thread could help?
>>3291910I still have a smattering of videos I recorded for this back in 2012 with the intention of uploading them onto youtube, or something. Nothing yuri, or story related. Just gameplay footage.
>>3346117IC. I asked because I saw it mentioned on /u/ first.
>>3137116excellent, loved it
