The Utena anniversary chapter, photos of LGBTQ Japan, and misogyny against Japanese politicians.
How to step up as an ally (and how not to), music in Fujiko Mine, and body positivity.

A huge stack of premieres, schoolgirl exploitation, and anti-consumer behavior.
Premieres are starting in earnest as Pride Month comes to a close in the US.
