Himegami no Miko – Kannazuki no Miko Sequel?!
Himegami no Miko (姫神の巫女) is the new project from Kaishaku. Possibly a sequel to Kannazuki no Miko (or alternate reality or something…), Himegami certainly has many yuri fans excited. An official looking website is updated, which further confirms the probable anime sequel to the popular yuri series. However, the site for Himegami contain very little information so far.
One of the many sources of the rumor.
Rumors of Himegami have been floating about for ages, but only with the recently updated website do the rumors seem much more plausible.
I have always loved Kannazuki no Miko simply because it was one of my first yuri anime. I also really like Chikane Himemiya. So of course, I was quite elated to hear the news and see the website.
Personally, I am looking forward to Himegami no Miko, and hoping that it is not weak sauce like Kyoushiro to Towa no Sora (Shattering Angels/ KyoSora), in which the yuri was lightly written off as side characters… Judging from Kaishaku’s blog, it seems that Chikane and Himeko will feature prominently in Himegami.
I am also hoping for no more giant robots… sorry to all mecha fans out there, but yuri + mecha is just not a combination I want to see; though I do not mind mecha musume too much. Further, I am liking the sword and uniform on the site; definitely very very cool.
And who here does not wish for another yuri rape?
Of course, further concrete confirmation would be very nice. Still, the upcoming season look good for yuri.
Lastly, thanks to @EcchiYuri, where I first heard about it, and Yuri no Boke for detailed information on Kaishaku, past rumors, and one of the images.
Edit: From what some understand, Himegami no Miko will be a manga that will premiere in the magazine Young Ace, which is a seinen manga magazine, not an anime. Of course, the website indicates that an anime adaptation is highly likely. Source: Yuriness
Edit: Leaked images of the manga are circulating.
Zettai Shoujo Seiiki Amnesian has been scanlated.
I see lesbians, I see swords and I smell the distinct possibility of giant robots…I WANT.
I also prefer my yuri without robots getting in the way. Unless they’re robot lesbians.
Thanks for the nod! So now the big question is… WHO’S GONNA BE SCANLATING THIS SERIES?!? I can provide RAWs if need be.
The best part of this announcement is that type of magazine it’s going to run in is seinen which makes me think it will be all the more yuri-rific and ecchi!
Awesomeness!
I saw the Himegami site. Only 其の零 (The Zero) is up and it feels like a prologue to a novel… certainly interesting. And I think this should be an alternate universe kinda thing although much of the mythology stuff from KnM seems to be present..but it’s different. AUChikane = moon priestess, AUHimeko = earth priestess(?). Both of them have the 御神娘（みかみこ） mark…I don’t know why AUChikane is trying to kill AUHimeko though. And the conversation at the end is such a cliffhanger…
AUHimeko: Ok…I understand.
AUChikane: … …?
AUHimeko: It’s fine. You killing me is fine.
AUChikane’s eyes snaps open in astonishment.
AUHimeko: In exchange…I want you to listen to my one request.
AUChikane: Request?
AUHimeko: Will that be okay?
Saying that, AUHimeko smiled tenderly towards AUChikane…
!! I wanna know…
Btw, is doesn’t seem common to have a site like that for a manga that’s not even published… Seems like a pretty big thing. Mangaka’s blog mentioned that the manuscript has been submitted and the latest post complains about colour pages being a real pain. Heh. Also, “Having the full solar eclipse of a certain year to start in October, I wonder if it’s a good idea…” means chapter 1 of Himegami will have a solar eclipse like KnM…? Hmm~ Just hope that means they will try and published it in October on purpose~ =3
There’s also this…

It’s a manga called ロコモコ (Locomoco?) just published in ‘Magazine Special’. Certainly look yuri friendly to me…anyone has any idea?
@Snark: I see lesbians, I see swords and
I smell the distinct possibility of giant robots…I WANT. Giant robots in yuri is just not for me.@Baka-Raptor:Robots are erotic!!
@Audio Erotica (EcchiYuri): Not sure if it’s going to be anime or manga (or both), but if it’s manga, there definitely will be many groups jumping on to scanlate this.
@Fujii_Itsuki: The conversation sounded really similar to what happened at the end of KnM (perhaps prologue). I want to know as well. I also think it will probably be an anime for the same reason. Thanks for the information too.
I haven’t heard of ロコモコ at all. I’ll look into it though.
YUri!!! ..is this the one that i stopped right after the first episode?
@”G”: Yes… It was the one with the giant robots that you just could not get into.
Wow, this is awesome news.
Hopefully there will be some good merchandise and doujin coming out of this, which will help soften the blow if the plot is not good. =)
@shijima: Agreed on the merchandise. But even more than wanting doujins and such, I hope the plot will be great.
OMG! I am looking forward to it! I don’t mind to see another Chikane cover in action XD And the characters look so good in the 2 pictures *.*
I love KNM was my first yuri too, and I cried a lot =/
Kyoushiro to Towa no Sora was more centered in Kyo and Ku, but the few yuri was good, not like KNM, but was not so bored to watch like Yami To Boushi To Hon no Tabibito…
And I agree with u, I hope there’s any robot in this one…
‘And who here does not wish for another yuri rape?’ Hahahahaa, Agreeed!!!
This is amazing news!
That website better not be fake :q (or for a game)
Looks like Chikane replaces her bow for a japanese sword.. (as it invokes more fangirls)
@Yuri Downloads: Yea, really really hoping for some yuri rape.
@koyot3: I really hope this is true. And a sword is much much cooler than a bow.
I finished ‘Kannazuki no Miko’ the other night. I really enjoyed it, although I am with you Yi in being able to do without the mecha. As a matter of fact, I think the mecha battles take away a lot from the overall story. It’s like someone wrote this wonderful, magical story and then was told by some corporate hack to crowbar some robot fighting in to it. Oi.
@IMSirius: Yea, the mecha made the anime feel really childish and is just kind of jarring in a romance.
Okay I really really really hope this is true.
If it is; I’ll like….
Die of happiness.
@Sae~: I feel a similar way.
