NEWS: Juné Manga to Print Boys-Love Works on Pre-Order Demand

This would be cool if they would at least list other titles that will be available through this pre-order offer, even if they are not available for pre-order yet. It seems pricewise that over 250 people have to pre-order each title to make it to the goal, and I'm not sure that many of these lesser titles will actually meet that goal. Not without serious web advertising, anyway.

So basically, if enough readers are interested (and willing to put their money where their mouths are), we can push up the publication date of a title, at least for ourselves. Does one have to order through the June website directly? I always order through Amazon for the free shipping, but I might be convinced to deal with June directly if they were offering some particularly coveted titles for pre-order. I did kind of have my eye on the All You Need Is Love novel there, although I'm not really sure I need to have it 3 months ahead of everyone else. At least (if I understand correctly) it seems these titles will still be printed eventually, even if they don't meet their designated pre-order goals. But it is kind of cool that fans will have the opportunity provide a direct, monetary "bump" for their favorite titles (if they're being offered).

Yeah, I'm wondering how they'll let us know what's being considered. Perhaps a pre-order mailing list of some sort. I really don't feel like checking into the June website every week (I'd much rather just log onto Amazon for my new Recommendations pages so I can see all publishers' titles simultaneously).
