This is the best news I've heard in a long time. I'm glad that June (the DMP imprint that will publish the book according to their website) got a hold of this title. It will finally see the light of day in English.
And pox to the people who will immediately scan the book and share it online. Don't they realize they're only hurting the manga-ka and the publishers! </rant> |

It's great news but too bad, I wanted it under 801 Media, though. Oh well, I shouldn't complain 'cause it finally will be released next year unlike DramaQueen.

I heard about this in the aarin forums last night and I'm pretty pleased at the rescue (I've been waiting for this one since DQ originally announced it). March seems so far away, though...

Did DQ actually announced they were leaving the publishing business? Their website is still active. Course now if they would let Kitty Media get the rights to Naono Bohra's " A Desire Boy" and other titles they been withholding without any plans to print., books can actually get published!
I'm glad they got the right to Rose because it been on my reading list forever. Now I have to wait another few months... |

I'm actually glad it isn't under 801 Media as I haven't had great experiences with them. Their translations don't "flow", and I've found translation errors (ex. Just Around the Corner, incorrect pronouns very frustrating since it changes meaning, makes no sense, etc.). I'm also have never really been thrilled about their prices. Their book quality is good, but I'm bitter about the translation/editing. On the other hand, I really really like June and Deux 
And now to wait for more announcements of acquired DQ licenses. |

Majide? I guess I didn't really look into grammars and all that... many of their titles are great and the price still is reasonable when it comes to color inserts that other publishers never have done it... "/ I just thought it was weird seeing June took it up that seems not up to their typical mangas like those cute, fluffy, soft stories. "/ By the way, Deux is good but we shouldn't complain over publishers 'cause c'mon, few of DQ titles got rescued that we're long-awaiting for beside the translation will not be always perfect, right? =) |

The translation won't be perfect, but editing is done for a reason. I don't really expect the extent of errors in a professional publication. I'm happy they release, but I think consumers should be slightly critical so these errors will get fixed in their future releases and everyone is happy
Many of June's stories seems cute, fluffy, and soft, but not all perfectly fit that criteria. Still, it's being released and I'm happy

Unfair accusation! Scanlations already exist because DQ took so long to release. Nobody will bother to post another scanned copy unless it's amazingly better than the existing ones - which are beautifully translated as it is. EDIT: And YES, I will be buying a paper set for my bookshelf. |

Yes, they do. There really are some unscrupulous people in the world. I can't fathom why anyone would go to the effort to actually buy the English volumes of a title and then scan and share them with other people for free, but I've seen it. I mean, seriously, even if you double-page it, it's still going to be 100 separate scans for each volume, not to mention that you're basically giving away, at the expense of your own time, something you paid money for. I've even seen scans of English editions of BL novels out and about. Makes me angry just thinking about it. |
