Ahh! I wanted both of these but had pretty much given up hope for DramaQueen.

*pauses to order them both*

I don't care if I have to order directly from them and pay a few bucks for S&H; it'd be worth it to see them get back on their feet because they always seemed to license titles from mangaka that no one else did, such as Yuzuha Ougi, Minase Masara, Akira Honma, and Sakurai Shushushu (mangaka for both Junk! and Missing Road). Not to mentioned their books were always very high quality-- hopefully that didn't change during their hiatus.

I'm really, really interested to know what that "unreleased past license" is because it seems like we may actually have a chance of seeing it now. Chances are very high that it's something I was looking forward to way back when, because I remember having quite a lot of upcoming DQ releases in my Amazon Wishlist go directly from "Preorder" to "Unavailable."

It's so awesome to see DQ's return! I remember when it closed; it was a rather depressing moment for English language releases of BL manga. Like poonk said, DQ always licensed the often ignored manga-ka and the quality of their releases was always very high.

Yes! I hope this is just the beginning of their comeback. I've always loved their releases. Very Happy
