And that's it for this week.

>no new yuri titles
It's shit
>>
>>285289642
A bunch of crap as usual
>>
>>285289491
would read this one
>>
>>285289491
Wait, seriously? This manga didn't get licensed until now?
>>
>>285289491
I've been interested in this one. I'll be watching the anime but I doubt I'll have time to read ahead. The author's Pixiv is very interesting.

Obligatory gay shit for women

Fujos are too powerful. Seems like they're the only ones buying physical localized manga, huh.

Light novels are doing even worse. The 7th volume of Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle had a first print run of 450 copies. Multiple other series had print runs of less than 1000 copies unless they’re BL or Korean.
>>
>>285289827
None of the ecchi series were licensed.
>>
>>285289877
They're not the only ones spending money. Plenty of people will buy 500 volumes of Viz shonen and nothing else. Fujos are probably next in line tho for actually spending money on what they want
meanwhile when SS licensed Rozen Maiden barely anyone here cared beyond "we'll finally have good scans"
>>
>>285289998
Print, dead-tree version, is dead. I'd be interested to see if e-book sales are any better.
>>
>>285289877
Nothing outsells isekai.
>>
>>285290064
>285290064
rozen maiden is super boomer tbf

>Plenty of people will buy 500 volumes of Viz shonen and nothing else.
True, I suppose. But last I heard, fujos are pretty into these, too.
Anyway, maybe it's not exactly number one and the most popular shonen series and isekai beat it, but it's crazy how much BL seems to get licensed.

>>285289642
Jesus
>>
>>285289549
Oh shit, seriously?
>>
>>285289827
Raunchy slice of life comedies don't sell particularly well most of the time. I think the last time one of those saw huge success in the West was Monster Musume and that was over a decade ago
>>
>>285289998
And I bought one of them.
>>
>>285290064
>Rozen Maiden
Was thinking of getting those, is the quality good?
>>
>>285289491
Most of this is gay shit I have no interest in. But I am looking forward to buying Kanouwa when it comes out in a couple months.
>>
>Be SevenSeas
>Acquires a shit ton of licenses
>Gives each a tiny print run
>Reprint? What's that
Why would anyone buy their stuff?
>>
>>285289572
I don't read or watch anything with men in it, so this might be the only one I'm interested in.
>>
>>285290717
>implying anyone here buys their shit
We pirate the digital releases
>>
>>285290736
Anon, look at the background.
>>
>>285289595
A villainess story exists where they're actually bad and their second chance is used to double down and just be better at being bad? Is there a catch?
>>
>>285290767
Then don't ask why they just license BL and isekaishit
>>
They need to speed up the makeine release schedule
>>
>>285290770
I meant as MCs, or are involved in the story in any major way. It's fine if one appears in a random scene in a minor way.

The quality is decent, it's the same paper they use for normal volumes, not great not terrible

the cover has a partial gloss thing on the details. Honestly kind of disappointing, the JP version of this release had really nice matte covers
>>
>>285289572
>call everything BL
>won't license any yuri
>can't even call this yuri
Why?
>>
>>285290767
It's nice you can pirate the digital release one month before your physical release for collection purposes arrives.
>>
>>285291131
BL is cheap to license and sells just by being BL, even if it’s shit.
>>
>>285289595
>also has a light novel
sweet, gonna look into this
>>
>>285291131
>>won't license any yuri
yuritrannies are too busy dilating while fujosis are too busy shoving every single item in the cart with BL tag on it.
