Another week, new announcements! Let's see what they got this time.
>>285821872
>>285821885
>>285821904
>>285821931
>>285821951And that's it.Wo Ai Ni, danmei must be selling well.
>six gay chinese seriesFor fuck's sake.
Japanese are such failures that Chinese BL will save the company.
>>285821989CORPSE FUCKING NOW IN SURROUND SOUND
Men don't read. Sucks for those of us that do since we're getting women's shit from here on out.
>>285822068it's because women actually buy this shit by the dozen and outbuy men. it's literally just that. former manga exclusive publishing companies from where i live are now starting to do webtoons and chinese stuff. the demand for BL is also WAY bigger than the demand for yuri as well.
>>285821872At least it's not isekai slop at a glance.
>>285822068seriously what the fuck
>>285822263Fuck, guess I shouldn't have been sleeping on those Watanare LNs also translate Marimite into english already, do I look like a frog?
I don't like it.
>>285822068they always license chink bl novel slop and nip bl manga slop. can't they license actual good series for once, even in the bl sphere?
Just read the description of Revenged Love>Girl breaks up with poor guy>Girl gets with rich guy>Poor guy decides to steal rich guy from girl and fuck him.Fine, I will read your Chinese NTR.
>>285821904>search this expecting GB just based off the title>Just regular old gay shitWell that fucking sucks.
>>285822367>also translate Marimite into english alreadyJNC mentioned they had a choice between Marimite and Earl & Fairy. They chose Earl & Fairy. One of the worst decisions they ever made.
>>285822179Fish mpreg in surround sound when
>fly by night localization slop companies are a bunch of gay fags and fat women who want to see gay fags fag each other up the fag hole until gritty brown fagcum gushes outI have been telling you this for years, for decadesviz was just trash but at least they put in effort, these new companies are tumblr cows who got nepo deals based on kickbacks and 0 talent
>>285822367This concept might be strange for some, but a product's success is calculated by its sales. If you want more of something, go for it and buy it. That's the only valid metric for people who are negotiating contracts.
>>285822494Holy fucking kino
>6 danmei, 0 mangaWhy even post it here at this point? They don't even look all that good. For how long these take to translate, they should be getting through all the classic Chinese faggotry first desu.
>>285822494>novel ends with one Chinese guy covered in shit, another Chinese guy with his asshole blown out, and a Chinese woman screaming and ripping out her own hairfeel-good movie of the year
>>285822859Chinese is actually easy to translate into English because the grammar structure is the same, unlike Japanese where you have to reorder the whole structure for every line.
>>285822794>viz was just trash but at least they put in effortViz is probably the worst manga publisher in the world. Shit paper, shit covers (with plenty of blurry covers and jpeg artifacts on them), no dust jackets, shit translations, and on top of it all, they censor fucking everything. America has probably the worst manga publisher scene in the entire world.And it's still beating the big two, which is funny in its way.
>>285823025Then why does google translate shit itself harder when translating chinese?
>>285823166maybe the stuff the Chinese are saying is nonsense to start with
>>285823166cuz chinese is a highly contextual language. if you give it loose sentences it won't be able to figure out what's going on.
>still no EikenMeh
>>285822977>feel-good movie of the yearAlready has an adaption even
>>285823025I meant more that 7S takes their sweet time with publishing their danmei licenses. They announced their batch of 12 in 2024 and only recently came out with volume 1s for most of them with another year's wait for volume 2s out of ~5-10, for example, and I've seen similar ETAs for others. They usually don't wait that long for LNs unless they sell really low numbers, at least as far as I've seen.
I'm buying Makeine, AnoSeka, the Too-Perfect Saint, Reincarnated as a Sword, Hidden Dungeon Kanouwa, Magic Maker, and KuraKon and pirating Easygoing Territory Defense and How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom but it isn't enough. For every me, there are a hundred rabid women readers who want gay Chinese sex
>>285823677>oh wu-ping, will you dare put the pork in the sweet bun?>wong-fung, I can no longer keep the lid on my steaming pot stickers, their bottoms crying out to be crisped golden brownfor some reason this makes white women gush their yoga pants, meanwhile I just feel kinda hungry
>>285823960You forgot to put some kind of murder mystery and magic ghost powers with swords in there
>>285824155>quing-lung, the killer stole the magical ghost sword of xhu and hid it in a secret location, check up my ass to see if it’s there>master xlai-hsum, I could not find the magical sword anywhere within your anus or rectum>hmm, look again
>>285822263Yuuup, that's literally it. Women actually bother to purchase their crap. Pretty sure some employee from seven seas said on a post here that Devilman flopped so hard they cancelled any plans to translate any more Go Nagai and Ken Ishikawa stuff.
>>285821872im so tired of the BL shit but its clearly bringing in money. i wonder how their josei titles do, i hope they announce more soon...
>omegaverse danmeiCakeverse, Guideverse or Zergverse when?
Oh noo, Seven Seas isn't picking up my favourite manga and then dropping it after five volumes. How terrible.
No isekai?Who are they and what have they done with Seven Seas
>>285822977>>285822842The ironic thing is this is an entire danmei genre at this point.>MC loses GF to another dude>Decides to take revenge by seducing/fucking the dude>MC ends up either falling for the dude or the dude flips the situation and turns the MC into an onaholeChina is based
They should rename their company Chocolate Seas by this point
I keep telling you, fujos are powerful.>>285828445>Zergverse when?Asking the real questions here. Would love to see some Zergverse. inb4 that's an actual thing.
>>285830091It’s a thing.Zergverse is when the males operate in an insect style hive mind around a queen. The queen doesn’t need to be female either. Sometimes the hive members are broken into different roles or caste systems too.Named after the Zerg from StarCraft of course.
>>285821872>Deng Ni Yang Wang
>>285830406These retarded world building projects will always make me laugh.Pomegaverse still tops for being the most silly.
>>285830406Fucking kek
>>285826904The guy that translated it said that people did buy Devilman, but didn't really spring for Cutie Honey.Frankly though, I don't really like their releases of Devilman and Kamen Rider even if I did buy them. They overstuffed these books to get away with releasing everything in as few volumes as they can and it's just unwieldy to actually read. The Lupin III collections avoid this only because they're Best Of compilations and not the full series.
>>285822227Part of my motivation to read more is to support series that aren't just written for women.
>>285828445>Cakeversehuh?>Zergversehuh??
>>285831175Whats good? I usually just see the same few series recommended
>>285831195
>>285831366I prefer the Terryverse, where you see luminiferous persons of color and have an overwhelming urge to roll a wheeled conveyance over themGod and your bird also communicate with you via pseudorandom number generators
>>285831453i really like guide verse but i don't think i've ever seen someone do something compelling with it other than sexslop. It has the means to be really good romance or fantasy but it's only ever used for sex.
>>285831481Is there a verse-verse?
>>285831625>verse-verseThat's retarded. Prose-verse, on the other hand...
>>285822068Fujos are looser with their wallets. It's not a charity publisher.
>>285830528Sorry to be /tv/ here but do asians actually know Sentinel? You can't even find that shit on DVD last I checked, and usually there'd be IndoMalay bootlegs.
>>285831039Makes sense, fujos love Devilman. I hate omnibuses too, they're cost effective if you just want a collector's edition of something you already read, but they're just not very good for holding. The same can be said for 7S's entire danmei line, which are needlessly large with tons of wasted space and huge fonts, but made with extremely flimsy materials that flop all over.
>>285823061I'll never forgive viz for what they did to the release pace of Hayate no Gotoku even if I stopped buying it 2/3rds of the way through because the ending was trash.
>>285831281Toradora and Makeine are probably their best romcoms. I also like AnoSeka/Mobuseka. For manga, you have d-frag, new game, and railgun (back issues can be a problem to acquire).
>>285823166Because it doesn't?.. GT works great with Chinese.
>>285833154Says the guy who doesn't understand Chinese.
>>285832190Reminds me that the binding on one of my Devilman volumes was so tight that it actually cracked slightly from me opening it the first time. I thought it was just my copy but apparently it had been an issue with the Chinese printer that 7S uses.
>>285830476>starring Ling Lang
>>285830476kek
