dramaqueen wasn’t a publisher i really followed (aside from thumbing through one of their rush anthologies until i found something that wasn’t for me) but i know it did have its fans. did that include any afterelton readers? are there any great dramaqueen titles that my radar has been missing ?

texas - based dramaqueen did not have any new titles, but it did share its fall 2007 lineup. the publisher is currently distributing its books through consortium and is working to get books to more mainstream stores. direct sales through dramaqueen’s site have been steady, and the publisher recently had a promotion with anime distributor right stuf international that increased awareness of the company. dq is currently the exclusive distributor of kye yoon chon’s
last year, my optimism for iris press, a bay area publisher that hoped to publish an anthology magazine, quickly fell through. now, another publisher, dramaqueen, looks like it’s struggling to stick around .
taking this moment to send some pluggage to tina anderson’s recent site post, where she states that the rush team have finally come to the end of their patience with dramaqueen and are now actively seeking a new publisher .
yaoi suki found ten new titles among a list of dramaqueen books on its publisher' s website. a dramaqueen has now confirmed the titles, calling them

houston, texas – may 26, 2011. dramaqueen, llc is celebrating our six years of independent manga and manhwa publishing with the release of our second title from the beloved cult manga - ka, shushushu sakurai, junk !
we all do. i for one will miss the dvd manga series the most. god rest dramaqueen. god rest iris print while we' re at it... god rest the entire industry, for it is dead now .
regrettably, central park media has been on life support for the past few years - not officially out of business, but not really active in the business. sorry to say that i personally haven' t heard anything about the status of dramaqueen recently .
please someone call the department of children and families! !! i just told 19 that she had to clean her room before going to watch her friend get a tattoo. protect my children, i’m out of control! ! # parentingteens # dramaqueen # ridiculousrequests
i won’t beat the proverbial horse on this one but suffice to say dramaqueen hasn’t done anything to win readers’ sympathy or support in the past two years but i suppose it’ll still be interesting to see if they ever do release another book. still, as much as i’m all for supporting the industry, it’s my honest opinion that shoppers should stay away from ordering through dramaqueen’s online website. the risk is simply too high that prospective buyers will only join the line of people still waiting for dq to pay their dues .
i told my dad i was too tired to go to the store with him and he yelled

have you ever ridden on the dan ryan? there are delays longer than this every day than the march today yes, kudos to isp and cpd for keeping all parties safe. you, however, don' t know the meaning of the word chaos. # dramaqueen
and lastly, in an odder turn of events, dramaqueen has updated its online shop to showcase what they’re calling a “rebirth sale”, offering up several of their back issue books for cheaper prices along with a message that suggests they’re still working on the comeback that they’ve promised for so long. hmm… sounds sort of familiar .
what’s most interesting and worth a look about these titles is the majority are out of print series. several of from the now - defunct go! comi, and there’s a boys’ love title from dramaqueen. newer titles are the two omnibus collections from seven seas and offer a great value for some huge books with hefty page counts !

speaking of hit or miss, two books came in the mail this week from dramaqueen – missing road and junk! . with three books now under their belt since their ‘comeback’ began, i’m ready to give them another chance and take a look at the new offerings. first impressions say the quality of the publishing itself is great but will the content itself hold up ?
yaoi manga publisher dramaqueen burst onto the then - burgeoning manga scene in 2005 with ambitious plans for a line of yaoi manga, teen - friendly manhwa (korean comics), and a quarterly anthology of global yaoi manga. they quickly became known for their excellent licenses and the high production quality of their books. “we treat it like art, ” publisher tran nguyen told pwcw’s kai - ming cha in 2006. “our intent is to produce a quality product that is a collectors item. ”
the drama over at drama queen’s forums continues with fans up in arms over their continued disorganization, misinformation and the latest in a string of broken promises. some intelligent comments are made about dq’s consistent failure as a business and i’m certainly enclined to agree. it’s been a long, sad road and dq’s possible return no longer looks optimistic as much as it just shows how easily a so - called company can mess with its dedicated fans, not to mention contributers. for shame, dramaqueen .
baltimore, md - august 07, 2006 - alas the otakon 2006 is over. the dramaqueen staff had a wonderful time at this marvelous convention and wants to thank all her fans and the staff members of otakon for all their support and love. however we did not leave the convention without giving our fans an interesting industry / yaoi panel! !! during this panel we announced the following great new manga & manhwa titles and also announced our street release date for rush, an original western yaoi anthology :
speaking of whom, makoto tateno’s boys’ love series yokan is now listed on amazon from digital manga under the name preminition. some yaoi fans may recall this title as having been previously licensed by the now defunk dramaqueen (under the title omen). word is that several of dq’s licenses have begun to expire after years of no releases, which means there’s a likely possibility for more license rescues in the coming future. preminition, along with a couple other newer licenses, are now listed on digital manga’s website .
as with all amazon listings, no series or releases are official until confirmed by the publishers themselves. while digital manga cannot confirm the licensing of these series, they did let me know that their big yaoi con license announcement is still under wraps and awaiting the eager ears of convention attendees. in the meantime there’s been lots of speculation on forums and blogs on what the title (s) will be, including potential license rescues from the yet - to - be - officially - bankrupt dramaqueen to the recently confirmed shutdown bebeautiful .
for those who follow the reviews on my site, it’s safe to say that i tend to give books positive reviews over negative ones. a simple reason for this is that i buy what i really want thus more often than not tend to like what i buy. in the instance of the judged, i purchased it based on the manga - ka, akira honma, whose work i enjoyed in their other book published by dramaqueen: last portrait. well, despite my purchase under inspired pretences, the series fell very short of expectation .
in 2001, the american yaoi market didn' t exist, but since then, mirroring the japanese market, most american manga publishers have embraced boys’ love (bl). the category didn' t take off until 2005, when tokyopop and dramaqueen entered the game alongside digital manga and cpm press. while finding shelf space for these titles may be complicated, the demand for more content is still rising. and as any yaoi - con guest could attest, these fans know what is available, they know what looks hot and they know they want more bl now .
readers loved it. they loved it so much that when dramaqueen’s releases slowed to a trickle, and then stopped altogether, fans reacted with disappointment, dismay, and anger. nguyen and her staff kept showing up at cons, selling their older releases and holding raucous panels for enthusiastic fans, and periodically they would announce that things were back on track (yeah, they got me with that one), but the books never arrived, and the whole thing took on a lucy - and - the - football air, with yaoi fans playing the part of charlie brown .
for those who aren’t familiar with roulette, it was originally published in rush, an anthology of boys’ love stories by creators around the world and published in print by dramaqueen. when the company ceased production, so too did rush come to an end after only a couple issues. there had been problems with dq and it’s handling of the project practically since the get - go with subscribers and creators alike left wondering where their dues were. as someone who subscribed to the anthology, i was among those both disappointed and rather miffed when the plug was suddenly pulled. it’s unfortunate when projects like this don’t work out .
as a quick recap, dramaqueen hasn’t put out any of their scheduled books in over a year nor have they given fans any answers on the future of the books or remaining licenses. this also includes subscriptions for the rush series, which have now left many people $ 30 poorer and with no books to show for it (and just as few answers). essentially it’s a publisher death that many are just waiting to hear the final call for. sad, but i think it’s fair to say us readers are more than done waiting for dq as well! even if we do really want to get a hold of some of their series…
this year’s event featured two exhibitor / dealer rooms. guests included the artist and writer duo of oki mamiya and kawahara tsubasa, takanaka hinako (little butterfly from juné and challengers from dramaqueen) and italian manga studio dany & dany. entertainment included 24 - hour anime screenings and a video gaming room. on saturday night con - goers enjoyed an anime music video contest, cosplay contest, yaoi fan - fiction writing contest and a midnight dance. a staffed manga library featured manga from every american bl publisher, including some mainstream titles for good measure. a weekend long charity auction benefited the national coalition against domestic violence and featured items from the guest artists .
besides all the news, the most significant part of yaoi - con was the unique experience it offered compared to any other manga or anime - related event. because of the often mature nature of bl, yaoi - con is a rare example of an 18 - plus - only anime event. in a growing manga market where most sales tend to come from readers in their early teens, yaoi - con turned its focus to a well - informed and well - read following that is mature enough to appreciate the steamy themes these books are known for. some publishers, like dramaqueen and yaoi press, have 16 + books for younger readers; however, the consensus seems to be that more mature stories and visual content tend to draw readers like moths to a flame .
until now. in mid - march, librarian and yaoi blogger snow wildsmith spotted an announcement on the dramaqueen website that a new book vol. 1 of the summit, was in the works. dq also reset their forum, and an in - house poster is reassuring readers that at least one other title, mandayuu and me, will be out this year. but the proof of the pudding is in the eating, so the biggest news in years is simply this: snow got her copy of the summit! it seems to still only be available through the dq site, but the same in - house poster says that it will be available through retail sites soon. is this the beginning of a new era, or a last gasp before an overly ambitious company collapses? stay tuned as the thrilling saga continues .
news, reviews and features with a focus on manga, self - published works and a canadian perspective. enjoy fulfilling your kuriousity !
back to the subject at hand: as someone who awaited the preview issue of rush eagerly, and enjoyed the pretty artwork and diverse nature of it when it came out, i hope that the artists and writers of rush are able to find a publisher who will continue on with the anthology. good luck to you, rush team! make sure you tell us fans the moment we can throw pre - orders at you for the next issue .

kickstarters have really taken off in recent months with creators and organizations using the crowd - sourcing service to collect the funds they need to get projects off the ground that wouldn’t otherwise be funded. i still hold my reservations towards companies using the service but i’m glad it’s worked out so well for creators getting their original works out to a wanting audience .
just such a project has been started for roulette, an original boys’ love style story written by tina anderson (loud snow) and drawn by laura carboni (love circles). laura is looking to raised enough money to fund the completion and print of the book, which will be 255 pages long. via kickstarter’s often - used reward system, you can also get a number of extra goodies depending on how much you pledge .
“mafia accountant riley leary finds himself blackmailed by an unseen party when he’s caught stealing from his boss. to make matters worse, he garnishes the interest of the dangerous hit man, anton colletti. will riley manage to get things right, or will anton make things go from bad to worse? ” (read a preview chapter )
another week gone by and another stack of lovely new books to read! lately i’ve been reading a lot of older titles since my haul at animaritime but this week’s new titles definitely put up a huge fight for my attention (and who am i kidding, they won !) .
first up was the new volume of black butler (vol. 06) from yen press. knowing that the whole curry fiasco is behind us and another mystery is afoot had me extra eager for this book. i was not disappointed! this series is worth buying for the art alone – such gorgeous victorian outfits ranging from the wonderful to just plain weird. throw in some detective work and sexual tension between pretty people and it’s an easy sell .
much less in - your - face about its charms is the fourth volume of cross game. i’ve completely fallen in love with this series – i love the baseball games, the characters, the romance – it’s all good! it’s so relaxing, the kind of book you just want to curl up in bed with and not put down until you’re done. plus i think i join the many in - story characters who have a crush on aoba .
adding two more volume sixes to go with black butler, i also bought rin - ne (vol. 06) and time & again (vol. 06). both are series i have hesitations buying because the volumes have been hit or miss since the beginning. all the same, this is the final volume of time & again so i had to pick it up to see how things fare between the leads. rin - ne i buy consistently because when it’s good i really enjoy it, the kind of entertainment only rumiko takahashi can offer .
the big purchase this week was undoubtedly wandering son (vol. 01), however. i’ve been waiting, waiting and waiting (patiently you see) for this book since it was announced. with this description, how could i not ?
“the fifth grade. the threshold to puberty, and the beginning of the end of childhood innocence. shuichi nitori and his new friend yoshino takatsuki have happy homes, loving families, and are well - liked by their classmates, but they share a secret that further complicates a time of life that is awkward for anyone: shuichi is a boy who wants to be a girl, and yoshino is a girl who wants to be a boy. ”
the book has since been showered with praise and rightfully so for what it is. i absolutely loved reading it and will hopefully have a review done soon to highlight why. as a first impressions note, it’s another hardcover release from fantagraphics so on publication quality alone you really get your money’s worth .
summary: free agent junk is the sole survivor of a nuclear attack, and it’s a closely - guarded secret how he managed to escape alive. junk’s current mission is to rendezvous with the mysterious criminal “x, ” who has been sending junk messages lately. x wants junk’s help to meet the reverend nagil, leader of a heretical religious sect; but junk suspects that x has hidden motives for this meeting. can junk expose x’s secrets in time before his “true mission” is jeopardized ?

amazon always has some of the best pricing for purchasing books online and occasionally even manga gets the extra special discount treatment, such as amazon. ca’s loonie deals. i was spelunking through the discounted section today and found some manga titles sitting there at some ‘get ’em while you can’ prices :
yaoi press has recently updated their info page to inform propestive creators that their submissions are currently closed. this is a uncommon state for yaoi press which has spent the majority of its time open to new stories by writers and artists. the page does however offer up an honest and open look at why their submissions are currently closed and assurance that they still have previously submitted works on file .
word has been circulating for a while about digital manga’s big yaoi title announcement, promising many happy fans, and that they’ll be making said - announcement at the upcoming yaoi con. today digital manga has posted their yaoi con schedule including their industry panel and signing times for special guest, makoto tateno (see art above) .
digital manga has also sent out a press release about signed and framed makoto tateno artwork which will be available for sale both at yaoi con and on their online shop, akadot .
urltoken brings us a handful of new boys’ love titles this tuesday from yaoi - behemoth, digital manga. all these titles are from artists that readers will likely recognize from previous releases .
for now fingers crossed we have these titles to look forward to, a great array of returning artists for some new works. i know i for one am really excited for another chigusa kawai title after a great finale to her previously june - released series, la esperanca .
some note - worthy new listings popped up on amazon over the week and this time one of them even comes with a confirmation from the company .
two new digital manga listings of interest: one is for another omnibus edition of a previously released series of theirs, this time hinako takanaga’s fantastically charming little butterfly (big recommendations from me on this one !). this joins the already confirmed omnibus for makoto tateno’s yellow .
other amazon finds of interest includes two editions of yen press’s upcoming first volume release of soul eater, one of which apparently coming with a presumably - snazzy slipcover. extra attention for a series with a big fan base? speaking of big fan - base (which should be bigger still !), yen press will be releasing not one, not two but six volumes of yotsuba &! this september !
and lastly, though my twitter followers heard this from me a couple days ago, listings for akira by kodansha comics (previously reported as one of the most solid pieces of kodansa - related news the english manga world has gotten so far) are now all being listed as the following: akira volume # (akira (del rey) ) .
this isn’t the first time i’ve noted overlap in publishing credits between kodansha comics and del rey, who already has a close connection with the company and releases their titles predominantly. of course this could just be a slip - up on amazon’s part, though some other retail sites have the publisher for kodansha comic’s rereleases of akira and ghost in the shell listed as random house (of which del rey is an imprint of). is del rey merely helping kodansha find footing in north america? or could kodansha comics show up as another random house imprint as a more all - inclusive joint agreement for manga releases? time will (we hope) tell for sure !
“ok – don’t panic! tyrant is on it’s way – there’s a minor problem on our printing (nothing major !) so we’re working on it to get it printed asap .
please know that tyrant will be out – we will not be able to make it for christmas delivery – but we’re shooting for january. i know how you all must feel, but please know that this time, it was not within our control when the problem arose > <! “
on a much more positive note, yamila has posted her end of the year report for yaoi press. they’re obviously feeling the current economic crunch but remain optimistic about things to come. one of their upcoming changes is the format of their books which will have higher page counts and larger trim sizes. it’s a good read for both fans of their releases and as a view of how one of the few consistant publishers in these rocky times is getting by .
over at her blog, tina anderson makes some suggestions for some global bl reading for the holiday vacation. there’re some great titles on the list so check it out if you’re looking for some good reads that are refreshingly different from your usual yaoi fare .
and finally, in referrence to the appearance of in god’s arms on amazon (slated for a july 2009 release), a fan has been circulating an e - mail they recieved from seven seas telling them that the license for the boys’ love book by nekota yonezou had indeed been lost. while this doesn’t come as a surprise, and it’s more likely amazon just regurgitated the listing, wouldn’t it be a much nicer thought that a license lost could infact now be a license found ?
biggest manga news in recent days is undoubtably the announced shutdown of brocolli books usa international. while not a big fan of the publisher myself, it can’t be denied that they had some popular titles and a good reputation of quality. i first heard of brocoll’s shutdown thanks to gia who was quick to learn of the news. since then icv2 has recieved confirmation of the shutdown and more information was shared with the public through brocolli books’ production blog .
yaoi press’s twitter reminds those waiting for some of dmp’s december releases that they’ve been pushed back until sometime in 2009, including vampire hunter d (vol. 03) and kabuki (vol. 02). the full list can read from ann’s post this past october .
“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 .
we are timing the pre - order as close to the time we get the books in - house from our beloved printers. so there might be a 2 week lag from pre - orders to shipping date. just wanted to let everyone know in advance! ”
also, at blu would like to remind readers to stop asking about love pistols (vol. 06). it hasn’t yet been released in japan so harassing them about it won’t make it available in english any faster. even i’ve recieved e - mails asking about it so i can only imagine what their e - mail boxes must look like. please be courteous and do your research before you make an inquiry: )
and finally on a great note if it turns out to be true, danielle over at comics should be good! is spreading the word that it looks like viz may have picked up the license to fumi yoshinaga’s ooku. edit: and ann continues this news with a bunch of other titles as well !
: “a leak to a legal office makes a case for government corruption. it is now the job of public prosecutor kyou sugiura to investigate tatsuki toudou, an arrogant politician riding on the coattails of his daddy’s success. but toudou may be more clever than his sexually abusive, adoptive father was. he uses manipulation after manipulation to exact revenge against kyou for that time, long ago, when the two boys shared an intimate bond… which kyou betrayed. ”

hi there! i' m a fan of masara minase and i' m so happy you have two mangas translated into english. sadly, empty heart is out of stock and i was wondering if you know when it will be available again. also, masara minase is a series called gokujou no koibito which i think has nine chapters, which is more than enough for a manga. any chance of that being translated into english ?
we will be printing a 2nd edition of empty heart sometimes this year, most likely in spring. there is no final date set for it but i' d expect it pretty soon. i can' t comment on the second question as it' s up to a lot of factors such as the japanese companies and the author' s decision but we are always willing to license minase - sensei' s manga since we are all fans of her work .
dear dq, just as a question, having nothing to due with post, but is tyrant who fell in love out? i' m sure you' re waiting to release the end of challengers before you release tyrant, but on amazon. com, though it says
ships in 2 to 5 weeks
it still says volume one is available. so, i' m confused because i' m always checking your site and it has no info on releases for that title... . signed, confused in a snow storm (kidding) ^ - ^
i just came from the rush website. do you guys plan to release the stories in tankoubon form someday? i' d love to get my hands on atsushi akira' s night and day. : d thanks .
you know, i hate to add to the piles and piles of moans you guys get but... why license another title when you it seems you cant handle the demands of the titles you already have? i can understand if perhaps you' re bored doing the same books all the time... but isnt that part of the process? some of your titles are impossible to get copies of like tyrant and summit. so i really dont understand the need for licensing. when you do that scanlation teams drop titles and to be perfectly honest that could mean that we yaoi lovers will never see the ending to our favorite series as dq can' t be counted on to finish a series. again, sorry for the moan and the rant, but its frustrating as hell !
just a question... is dq dead? it would be a shame as i really liked you guys (you were doing a cracking job) but nothing' s happened in ages now... i' m just curious .
i miss dq. : (i' m still holding out a faint hope of getting my money' s worth of rush issues (i subscribed for the original 6 waaaay back when) though i know at this point hell has a better chance of freezing over. : (( (( tho' the 00 & 01 issues i did get must have some rarity value now, no? hmmmm, i wonder what i could get for them on ebay... no! i love them too much! ; _ ;) i just wish there was some tiny sign of life from dq, even if it' s an apologetic
sorry, we give up
letter to the fans - - as it is it just seems like the people behind the company up and vanished into the ether. d: i guess from the silence we can be pretty certain that dq' s future is grim, no further thought or questioning needed... ... but i still find that silence unnerving. i guess i want closure. ; _ ;

what happened to bebeautiful manga? i' m a huge fan of the yaoi series kizuna put out in english by bebeautiful / cpm, but it' s been over a year and volume 9 has never come out. another title of theirs, embracing love 6 never came out either. i had both on preorder for ages on amazon, but they finally cancelled my order and said they couldn' t get the titles. what happened? is be beautiful is out of business because biblos died? i' ve tried emailing them several times but the messages always bounce back, although their website is still up. is any other company going to pick up their titles? also, what happened to drama queen? i was happily collecting some of their titles too but now it looks like the huge bunch of titles they had scheduled to release never came out. in addition, what is the deal with cpm? i really loved the full house series, but it looks like volume 5 and 6 are never going to happen because it' s years past their release dates now .

blood and showtunes go together like love and marriage? : there’s a long list of stage musicals based on popular movies and, apparently that includes a tongue - in - cheek adaptation of the camp - tastic horror classic, evil dead (which, now that i know about it, i want to see it very, very badly). a toronto production of evil dead the musical is getting attention for their very clever parodies of iconic broadway imagery, with the brilliant line “it’s like the musicals you love, only evil. ”
