Hehehehe!

Anime News Service wrote:Venus Versus Virus To Be Animated
Based on the Atsushi Suzumi manga serialized in Dengeki Gao from the No. 8 issue, released on 6/27/05, Venus Versus Virus will be adapted to an anime TV series. Shinichiro Kimura (Hand Maid May, Cosplay Complex, Burnup Excess) will direct the Studio Lark produced animation. The story follows regular schoolgirl Sumire who's had the ability to see ghosts since a young age. She tells friends and family about this fact and they just dismiss it, thinking she's a liar. A chance encounter with a broach flying out of nowhere, a monster and gothloli clad monster killer named Ruchia leaves her with a life changing decision to use her ability and fight against these "virsuses" feeding upon the human race.

Here are some of the manga covers of which only 2 volumes are released so far:

Artwork is done by someone named Atsushi Suzumi. You can check out the artist's website here. So how's it yuri? Well, according to this blogger who had a chance to read some of the manga, those 2 main characters described do sort of "hook up".

I like the artwork.. think I maybe made a folder to this guy I'm not sure. I think there is one or two artists in my "hot artists" folder that has a style a lot like this guys. Think I'll get the artwork from his site and add it to my collection. Good stuff, thanks for sharing!

Yay, another shoujo anime! Of course, it doesn't distract from the fact that the storyline description is UBER lame, i.e. Bleach, Naruto, etc.

Here's hoping the anime turns out to be more than a girl swing her dolls arounds, not that there is anything wrong with doing that.

*Puts down another tally on the "Shoujo-ai animes coming out this year* Hrm... That's about the third... fourth, if you count Kannazuki no Miko's US release.

Then do I have some doujin for you.

The series sounds interesting. I'll probably check it out eventually.

It'll also premiere on January 2007. Hmm, I'm really like the character designs.

Hehe, I'm just kiddin'. Yuri and lesbians don't get me off. I like to pretend that I'm there. It just doesn't work with lesbians. When I'm watching that stuff, it feels like if I were there, I would be asked to leave.

...and I would refuse, and a struggle would ensue.

...and then they would beat me with their dildos.

But Bleach is awesome, and yeah, I agree the character design for V3 looks pretty cool.
