Dear Readers:
While searching the 'net for new Yaoi developments, I came across a brand new website supposedly of a new, strictly-Yaoi Publisher. What does this Publisher plan to offer us so late in the Yaoi game? Why, 2 books/month and a new six-issue annual magazine, that's what.
Go to this website: Yaoi Generation
Being that I am so damn poor at the moment, I wonder if I will be able to buy any books at all from this publisher. I have no care for the magazine (as I think it was hinted that they are taking OEL submissions) so what I'm hoping for is a cheap price point, and good licenses. There is so much that needs to be licensed in English, it's crazy. If they begin to charge $12.99-$15.99 for their books, I might just stick to DQ since they are licensing the proper Yaoi titles (and 801 to a lesser extent). Again, I'll have to see the actual titles to know if I'm gonna buy 'em or not.

DQ hasn't published anything for at least six months and is virtually out of business, according to a recent post from one of their freelancers linked via Mangablog (www.mangablog.net).
ReplyDeleteReally? If DramaQueen's end is in the near future, what could become of Yaoi in North America? That's very sad to hear. On a more positive note, it seems like 801 Media (although late with its releases) is still getting the books to us. And June is churning out a bunch of books a month like it usually does.
ReplyDeleteIt's so sad because DramaQueen was publishing the better, more attractive titles. They didn't HAVE to publish their books in such high-quality, though. I buy enough books that don't have colour pages and dust jackets that it's just not important. The titles were really attractive all by themselves.
