Digital and printed copies of yaoi manga in english have become increasingly easier to aquire. In light of this, whenever possible, links that accompany summaries will lead to where the titles are available for purchase.
In other words, as yaoi manga grows more popular, I will try to steer attention towards english publishers along with the scanlation groups. Hopefully publishing and availability will keep improving, and the love of yaoi will keep growing. ❤

Hi! I just found your blog and I love it❤️. So you being a person that has read many yaoi, I hope you can help me with my problem. Have you ever read an manga an saw this image in the credit page?
If so, what manga were you reading? In the image there was an arrow pointing at
the guy with brown hair and says something like this ” his head should be pressed more down” or something similar.
Hi. Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. That is a hard question. I may have seen this on a credit page, but it would be hard to remember for sure. But if I come across it with an arrow I will let you know.
Thank you. 🙂

I think it’s unfortunate that manga and anime bloggers don’t get to see the limelight as much as others do, and I personally really like your blog. I like the style and the content, and we seem to have similar taste.

“…but for me, the publishers are not as consistent or reliable as the scanlators.”
Can you elaborate on this a bit? Do you mean by their translations, output, legalities (cause companies have to worry about that), etc?
This is long….
First my thoughts on publishers 🙂 Licensing yaoi manga seems to be complex, and I do think English publishers do their best to cooperate and comply with Japanese publishing companies, and offer us the titles they are allowed to. Currently I think they are being allowed to offer quite a few good titles. And it feels like the licensing process is evolving and becoming more proactive. Following a series with a publisher is becoming more reliable. It is frustrating to search high and low for volume you are missing, then finally find a copy, but have to pay through the nose for it. Or, when you can’t find a title because there were only so many printed, and/or the publisher is defunct. I hope this becomes a thing of the past for yaoi manga.
Now, scanlations. ❤ I enjoy reading as many titles as I can from my favorite mangakas. I would not be able to do this without scanlations. Japanese publishers aren't promoting these artist overseas as much as they deserve to be. I think Libre is stepping up and bringing them more to the forefront. (And they are cracking whips all over the place at scanlation groups). But the speed and capacity of scanlations is far from being surpassed. For example…I am anxiously waiting to buy 'Hana wa Saku ka' from DMI when it finally comes out in print October of this year (fingers crossed). I've been obviously downloading it already, and wonder to myself, why do the publishers (on both sides) need to take so long with this, especially for a work that is so popular. They are not supporting the mangaka that way. I don't want to end up having to buy the German version, but I'll do it if I have to!
And as far as translations go, both scanlation groups and publishers do fine work by me. I appreciate the cultural nuances that are left in the scanlations, and can appreciate the simple clarity of the licensed publications. Most important is that yaoi manga is reaching the english speaking fans. 😉
i am really happy to discover this blog! looking forward for more posts! you have helped me a lot in discovering more yaoi titles! 🙂
Thank You! This makes me happy 🙂 I’m very glad my blog is helpful. I will do my best to help you discover as much yaoi manga as I can. 🙂
I just wanted to drop a line and thank you for all the reviews and links you provide. I love reading Yaoi Mange, but I tend to be dependent on people like you to find really good Yaoi Manga! So…thank you so much!!
You’re very welcome! Thank you for your kind words. 🙂 I am happy that you enjoy my posts. Being able to share my thoughts on the yaoi manga I have read makes it even more enjoyable.
