Hmmm.. I vaguely recall reading about a story that might be the same, or similar to the one I am going to mention about. ……a question to the Sakai City website in July demanding to know why there were so many “Boy’s Love” manga in the libraries. Such titles have loyal followings of female readers [...]

Deux Press releases for the early part of 2009
Okay.. I have been thinking that there wasn’t any bl-ish news for me to report.. and here I found it on the Japanator blog..as I was randomly going around my 1000+ posts on G-reader. There was reporting as well from here. What I was surprised by was – why didn’t Deux Press didn’t release the [...]
speaking of small publishers
Lady Q posts another update: Tyrant QC is done :) so next phase is printing!!! OK – we will be updating the website with pre-order for weekend after Thanks Giving – that would be Nov. 29th that Saturday.

Boysenberry didn’t even get to ripen
Anime News Network reports that Broccoli International USA will be no more. Since Boysenberry is an imprint of Broccoli Books, I think it’s safe to assume that we will not be seeing Cigarette Kisses or Sex Friend in English (until some other company can pick them up).

Distracted by the Stars…
Well, whenever I go to the local Japanese bookstore with my friends, Jilly and I do look at the serialized BL-magazines. Of course, at the same bookstore, we try to make one of our other friends aware of the subject matter; unsuccessfully though… still I imagine we’re going to persist. How is this related to [...]
