Galette staff describe the magazine:
"Galette" is an independent yuri comic magazine that contains yuri from various genres such as manga and illustration. We want to draw a story-oriented romance between girls! We want to deliver high quality yuri constantly! The yuri comic magazine "Galette" was planned by a group of yuri artists who agree with this desire.
The 33rd and latest issue of the magazine launched on February 16. The magazine is published four times a year and its first issue launched in February 2017.
