Yay!

I'm having fun hunting down new yaoi publishing companies. Since it'll take some time to do a full "Yaoi Report" I'll just post some good news and new findings.

1) It looks like CMP’s Be Beautiful line is back on track. It had some problems with finances, the company printing the books, and has signed with another distributing company. Lots ( Read more... )

Wow, that is very imformative.. thank you so much for that information! It's nice to get a heads up on who is doing what.

*bows* I live to serve! I just know that it's a headache to keep track of everything that's going on, I figured I'd do it to spare my flist from having to.

Though I am rather excited about the darker tone some of the new manga are taking on. Incest, mod wars, torture, abuse, prostitution, etc. Looks like they finally figured out that if you're going to market to mature audiences, you should have mature themes to tickle their fancy.

Hmmm... that should be "Mob wars" not "mod wars" Now I'm getting flashes to different community moderators going after each other and, since most of them are girls, the guys will have to molest the cute little male bodygaurds.

*hearts back* But now I have the Folgers coffee theme playing in my head. The best part of waking up, is yaoi in your... um... computer...

Seimaden. That's what CMX is supposedly releasing.

Yay for more Yaoi! (Even though I probably won't buy any of these... ^^;;;)

Is it odd for me to REALLY be anticipating for Tokyopop's "Off*Beat"? It just... looks so CUTE!

Ah... so that was it. I thought so but that doesn't seem to be, at all, yaoi *sniffles* I was looking forward to boyonboyness.

Heh, I will buy them all. Even the ones I probably won't like. Because like another of my friends, we've vowed to have all the yaoi in the world.

*curls up and dies from cute* XP It doesn't look too bad. I just don't want it because it doesn't seem like it'll probably ever get beyond maybe a kiss. Or, as is likely with Tokyopop, it'll probably turn out in the end that the one mysterious kid isn't really a boy so it's not really gay and yada yada Hanakimicakes.

That's because the yaoi doesn't come in for a while. But if you know Higuri You, you know her mangas are yaoi.

=P I just find I like cute stuff better than darker themes. I dunno. I like SOME dark themes. But like I said before, the stuff that DMP is putting out, that's the stuff I like. ^^;;;

Tokyopop didn't put out HanaKimi =P

And so what if it doesn't go beyond a kiss? Sometimes a well placed kiss is better than pages and pages of oddly placed smut. =P

I'd love to have all the yaoi in the world that I enjoy. But truthfully, yaoi is like a world of its own... and there are many different genres. Just like any other books, I'm picky and don't like certain things. And then ontop of it, with manga, I HAVE to find the art style appealing. If I don't, then I wouldn't ever buy it.

Bah! Then talk to me once I have my yaoi XP I have heard of Higuri You but I can't place the name to series... I'm horrible at that ( ... )
