long and useless

Whew! It's been almost half a year since I last updated the list and *whistle* there's been a huge jump in releases and future releases. Some of my favorites like Empty Heart and Little Butterfly have been licensed!

I finally removed Banana Fish, Descendents of Darkness, RG Veda, Gamerz Heaven, From Eroica with Love, Legal Drug and Tokyo Babylon from the list due to the fact that I still think there's a fairly distinct line between yaoi manga and manga with shonen-ai overtones. If this sounds confusing, my apologies! ^^

Lots of new manga from DMP, Blu, Be Beautiful, Drama Queen and others! The market for yaoi manga has almost exploded in the last few months and more and more series and books are being licensed! *giddy* Regarding Passion - originally, I had thought it was only a two volume series, but in Japan, I've found out that there are actually three and apparently, the mangaka will continue the series. Thus, Passion fans will be soon seeing more of it!

Almost all titles except for the more explicit ones can be found via online shops such as Amazon and Borders. Some websites of publishers will offer the manga they’ve released, such as Be Beautiful and Drama Queen.

I've also changed the set-up of the list. For ongoing series, I'm giving as many dates for future releases as is possible. If there are any mistakes here or if you'd like to add something to the list I've left out, please comment!

DISCLAIMER: Unreleased manga dates are rough or predicted. I take no responsibility if releases are abruptly changed. =P


( Yaoi manga, novels, and artbooks currently available or lined up to be released )

Update of this list.

I've also started considering giving reviews of the manga, since there are some on the list I absolutely adore and others that I'm not so fond of... =)

Thanks to takiko, ariyanaforever, umadoshi, kawaiiayu, lilysnape, emily_in_hell, fablespinner, and threeoranges for the lovely holiday cards!

tokoyami - thank you for the pretty present! Will have something to dazzle the students with when I get back... :)

flamika - hugs! My brother wanted my keychain but I said he couldn't have it. XD I'm hanging up the scroll when I get back to Japan, if only to have people ask when I went to China. ~_^

Sorry this took so very long; the days flew past and by now, it's the night before I make the long trek back to Japan... ah, I heard there's been some freak snowstorms while I was gone. Sure hope I don't have to dig my way to my apartment door...
