Yuri Anthology Dolce

I'm really amazed that nobody has written a review for this one so far. I'll do the honors, then. Many people avoid anthologies because they don't like getting invested in a 20-or-so-page-long story. I used to be one of them until I read this one nearly 10 years ago. Here's a little disclosure. Unlike serialized manga, anthologies are basically editor-led projects. It is the editor's duty to come up with the overarching theme, select authors for this theme, supervise their works so that they would fit in, and generally make sure that the entire anthology gives off a certain feel. Which, again, is decided by theeditor. In other words, an editor here is the producer. The head coach. Someone who calls the shots. An anthology is the only way for a manga editor to truly shine. I say this because I'm an editor myself and I sort of know how this thing works. And, as an editor, I have to say that this series of anthologies is absolutely brilliant. I don't know the name of the editor who supervised this, but that person is a genius. Bringing together several stellar authors, making sure that the entire feel of the anthology remains consistent, and, eventually, presenting a collection of amazing short stories depicting different genres, but still undeniably high-level yuri, is a feat worth praising throughout centuries. If you're into yuri but never tried anthologies, this is a great place to start. If you're into yuri and tried anthologies, this is a brilliant collection, I assure you. If you're not into yuri, well, maybe you went into the wrong corner of the internet. Sorry.
