Novelist and essayist Mori Natsuko - Mori-san is a popular writer of science fiction and had contributed essays to "Anise" magazine. Her recent essays for "Yuri Shimai," Japan's most recent all-yuri manga magazine have piqued the interest of fans around the world.

Yuri manga artist Tadeno Eriko - Tadeno-san returns as a special guest to a Yuricon event for the second time and we're thrilled to have her join us once again. Tadeno-san is a well-known yuri mangaka, whose collection "WORKS," was translated into English in 2004 by ALC Publishing.

Yuri manga artist Rica Takashima - Author of the collection "Rica 'tte Kanji!?" Rica Takashima has made a name for herself with her involvement in "Phryne" and "Anise" magazines, and her collection has just gone into a second edition here in the US.
