“Doughnuts Under a Crescent Moon” Yuri Manga To End With Volume 4
Popular Yuri manga book series “Doughnuts Under a Crescent Moon” by Shio Usui will conclude with upcoming volume 4. The announcement was made in the manga’s third volume that was recently released in Japan.
Known in Japan as “Kaketa Tsuki to Donuts”, the manga was launched in Ichijinsha's Comic Yuri Hime magazine in March 2019. The manga has become a fan favorite in the Yuri community as it depicts a romantic relationship between adult working women oppose to the typically “school girl” stories.
Seven Seas Entertainment is currently publishing the manga in English in the US. “Doughnuts Under a Crescent Moon” Volume 2 was recently released in August 2021.
Seven Seas Synopsis: Uno Hinako throws herself into makeup, fashion, and falling in love, hoping that will make her seem “normal” to the other people at her job. But no matter how hard she tries, she’s a self-doubting mess inside, and her attempts at “normal” romance with men just keep failing. When she starts to think she might be alone forever, a new normal presents itself in the form of her relationship with Asahi Sato, a level-headed woman who works at her company. It starts as respect, and then it becomes far more intimate.
In addition to “Doughnuts Under a Crescent Moon”, creator Shio Usui launched “Onna Tomodachi to Kekkon Shitemita” (I tried to marry a woman friend.) in Comic Yuri Hime magazine in November 2020. Both manga series have been running simultaneously in Comic Yuri-Hime. Volume 1 of “Onna Tomodachi to Kekkon Shitemita” was also recently released in Japan.
