Four from the Kitty (new titles)
Got some new licenses to talk about this weekend. Four new from Kitty Press and later will be a pair of rumored titles from TP.

Boys on Boys on Film has word that Kitty Media has announced two new licenses. I wonder if these are some of the... what were they 5 licenses that were in that Kitty contest back from Jan/Feb 07? I wonder who won that thing?

Gah, back on topic... BoBoF also has word from MB's managing editor Frank Pannone (who I saw in San Jose a few weeks back) noting that Yamane Ayano-sensei is very pleased with Kitty Press and is looking forward to releasing new titles through the imprint in the future. Good stuff, but news about smoother, high quality paper is giving me the chills.

People paper quality does matter but please please if you are looking to improve paper quality either use heavy white paper like BroBooks or use the high quality yellow-ish paper that NETCOMICS use. If you can't afford either as long as your source material is looking good DrMaster Taiwan's paper is great. (Good weight, good color and no bleed through like super sharp thin paper does. Just make sure those files are clean though cause some of the books they print are on the dark side... Not sure if thats their print press or the source material but that has been an issue in the past)

Two things I want to point out about those new licenses, though. Dog Style #1 from BiBLOS has not seen a Libre reprint. Don't know if that will be a problem since volume two was published by Libre but I am always curious to see how quickly titles that are transferred come out (generally speaking there have often been delays but it has been a while since Dog Style 2 was released by Libre - 11/06). ***UPDATE- Looks like Dog Style 1 is coming from Libre this August. Hopefully any extras added to that release will make their way to the Kitty version!

The other is that I am not sure if the other two Seiryo titles - Scandalous Seiryou Monogatari RETURNS and Scandalous Seiryou Monogatari LIMITED - have been picked up. So you'll have to live with the first volume of this BL romance comedy. Oh and check out how the gakuen has become a university... Everyone is "18+" in this manga! WOOF! ** UPDATE MaruNi - BoBoF has confirmed that Kitty will be releasing three volumes of Seiryo, which ought to include RETURNS and LIMITED. Ask and you shall receive. I love you all!! Maidou Arigatou!

Hate to be persnickety, but Yaoi Suki originally got this information from my site, Boys on Boys on Film. I talked to Mr. Panone and got the info straight from him. :) My site is also where the contest you mentioned is being held, and the winners so far are announced on the main page -- only two so far (Seiryo and Dog Style), and one title (Roses of the Rhine) that no one was able to guess!

Oh! P.S., Kitty is calling Seiryo a "three-volume series," so chances are that the "Returns" and "Limited" books are included.

Thanks so much for the info and I will gladly make sure to credit your site as the original source of this.

Good to know bout Seiryo also. I am sure potential fans will be happy to know they will see the complete series.
