This week's Newsweek Japan feature article, "We've all fallen for
Japan!" (Newsweek Japan, April 5, 2006. Page 24) discusses the upswing
of recent Japanese culture popularity in the US. Covering the growing
popularity of manga in America, Yuricon nets a mention.

Yuricon founder Erica Friedman is quoted as having become a fan of
anime and manga through "Sailor Moon" and having been inspired to
create a community for fans of yuri which became Yuricon.

Yuricon was founded as a celebration of yuri in anime and manga in
2000, and ALC Publishing, North America's only 100% yuri publisher in
2003.
