Kickstarter to Publish Delico Psyche's Boys-Love Manga in Print Meets Goal
posted on by Karen Ressler
Juné Manga's Kickstarter campaign to fund print copies of four of Delico Psyche's boys-love manga volumes met its initial goal of US$47,000 on Saturday. As of press time, the project has raised US$51,581 and the campaign will end on May 17.
The project has two stretch goals. At US$55,000, backers at lower tiers will receive a digital copy of every title they pledged for, and all backers will receive two vinyl stickers featuring couples from Pure Love's Sexy Time. At US$65,000, backers for all four books will receive dust jacket upgrades and all backers will receive a double-sided Eroman bookmark.
The titles up for print are The Rest is a Love Thing?! (Nokorimono ni wa Ai ga Aru!?), Eroman: Paper, Pen, Sex (Ero man - kami to pen to SEX to!!), and two volumes of Pure Love's Sexy Time (Jun Ai Ero Ki). Juné, an imprint of Digital Manga Inc., previously published the titles digitally.
All four books are rated 18+. The Kickstarter crowdfunding platform restricts pornographic material, but Digital Manga's Project-H imprint crowdfunded the erotic manga Vanilla Essence after first checking with Kickstarter.
Boys-love manga artist Delico Psyche (Psyche Delico) began her career with The Rest is a Love Thing?! in 2008. Digital Manga Inc. also acquired the license for her Choco Strawberry Vanilla and plans to release it summer.
