Summary:
"By Your Side is a series of interlocking essays, articles and lectures from Yuricon founder Erica Friedman's work on Yuri anime and manga. Meant to be approached as informal discussion in the manner of convivial conversation over multiple dinners, or panels at an anime convention, through these essays, readers will become familiar with the key creators, tropes, concepts, symbols and titles of the first 100 years of the Yuri genre. Walk by our side as we journey through the past, present and future of Yuri!" --yuricon.com
