I may need to pick some of these up, Love, That's an Understatement and Lovesick Ellie were both fun little reads if you like fluffy first love stories

I think ANN will need to ask Kodansha USA for some clarification regarding this line, because I'm seeing some online come to the conclusion that since this is a "Print Club" then these releases will be single-print limited run releases, or possibly even print-on-demand, despite the press release not indicating that at all.

From what I tell after reading the PR this will seemingly be a more restrictive form of release, i.e. limiting sales to a specific list of retailers, and more than likely will have smaller print runs, in general, than Kodansha USA's usual physical output. However, I would imagine that, should any of these titles sell well enough, then Kodansha USA will still make new print runs for those specific success stories (if maybe also keeping the future print runs smaller, as well).

Anyway, I'm definitely looking forward to buying Teppu physically.

Seconding what Lord Geo said, I would appreciate some clarification! Regardless, will definitely be picking up Blade Girl as soon as possible!

This is a print on demand program.
