@jessinbooks Ahh, okay I don't follow ENG publishers closely and didn't know they had their eye on the title for a while.Thank you for clarifying ~ Yesterday in a live Q&A, a manga publisher here ...

Posted by: @allthefujoshiunite It's possible that if one work from a certain artist gets spotlight, there's interest in their other works as well. Denpa's editor in chief said that they'd been offer...

Yen Press announced Marimo Ragawa's New York, New York for an October release - I'm dead curious how a 25 year old shoujo title about a closeted NYC cop is gonna read now. I'm also curious who's been...

I've read these out of the bundle and would say they're decent and probably worth buying: Hachi/RitsuWhere Night's Blackbird in His Sad Infamy Sings (that other Unohana one is probably worth getting t...

Good point about Canis, I forgot that was a Kuma title. It may also be that focusing on BL is better for them business-wise. It seems like most publishers these days are dipping their toes into yuri, ...

Interesting...it certainly says something about the readership that NSFW yuri can be absorbed into their general hentai line, but NSFW BL apparently has a different enough readership to merit its own ...

Posted by: @phya The key art pictures make it look like it is going to be really pervy (which it is) but the fact that it is a comedy first and foremost surprised me. This is what I thought as well ...

I noticed something the other day, looking at Kuma's twitter - they had previously advertised themselves as an LGBTQ+ manga publisher (with, iirc, the intention of putting out both bl and yuri and suc...
