So, looks like CPM is going bankrupt as well. That'd be Bebeautiful as well, being a CPM company. Viewfinder not having much luck?

TBH, I'd have preferred VF on another publisher anyway, because I don't like BB's work. I'm picky bitch like that.

Exam and the second last day of uni tomorrow (in case I won't fail)~

It's the same with absolutely anything these days, isn't it?

While I think US yaoi publishers generally do quite bad job (DMP using Sir & Mr, blowing their books to bigger size so the quality suffers. BB censoring and being generally just crappy. Blu just 'forgetting' to add the colour inserts they advertised to the books...), I still buy.

But in case of some books (Kizuna - CENSORED) it just goes too far and I rather have the original and even just text translations of that, than the US publication. Infact, decided not to buy anything from them after learning about the censoring. That said I still have the original copies of all my favourites anyway.

But gotta agree that most reasons leechers give out to not to buy the books are totally ridiculous.

Then again, in most release inserts people are encouraged to support the mangaka by buying the original works, but unless it's a brand spanking new copy (which of most JPQ ones for example are not), no money goes towards the mangaka or publishers any more.
