I will get these Yaoi titles. Thank you Kodansha. I'm embracing this digital future if it can give me so many different series.

Since they're licensing yaoi titles now, I wonder if they'll license Sakura Gari? Now there's a yaoi manga that deserves more love.

I've been interested in P to JK for a while. I didn't think it would ever make it over here.

Great news re: Back Street Girls! Very happy about this. Hope they do a non-digital version at some point too.

I would love if it were licensed in print.
Being that Yuu Watase is so popular, I'm surprised that Sakura Gari hasn't been picked up yet.

Good to see P to JK, but now I’m going to have to pester them for print. Interesting they’ve got more BL but, if Kodansha is doing digital then they should do it the right way with DRM-free PDFs like the other English language BL publishers that also release print books.

Watase’s work has all been exclusive to VIZ in English right? I know a few years ago SuBLime said it wasn’t a fit for them because of spoiler[underage rape.] I wonder also how many older BL titles publishers might consider, since the volume of new titles every year is large in Japan. The popularity of some veteran artists has apparently waned too, though I don't know about her.
