The Return of the Return of CPM Press RETURNS!!
A little bit of deja vu for me as news around the mangasphere is that CPM has some new titles for Q3 and Q4... Ummm NO! Actually all of these titles were announced last year. Last February to be exact. And at the time CPM Press even began rolling out a nice PR campaign for a couple books including Nananan Kiriko's Sweet Cream and Strawberries.

So lets get re-re-acquainted to these seinen and josei titles from Wani Books and Sodensha shall we?

Ahem... And once again, will this finally be the year that josei breaks out. With Ohzora launching, Yen and their With the Light... and Viz testing things out with Honey and Clover, CPM's short titles should help create some interest for womens manga. Now if someone can actually market these to women, then we can really get things going.

Hm, I could go for a little more George Asakura. Or josei, for that matter. I'm going to put off celebrating these licenses until I actually have them in my hand, though. CPM has been known to stand me up when it comes to releasing things.

My point exactly. I know CPM has been releasing books again. But with their track record, I almost feel as if something will happen before this fall to prevent the release of these books.

Crossing my fingers that nothing will but... Then again I'd like to see CPM ramp up their production quality as well.

I suspect you're being facetious, but I'll be just humorless enough to say:

Donate? CPM's a business, not a charity. You wanna support them financially? Buy their stuff when they actually make stuff you want to buy. (Then again, given the stories of CPM's previous cash flow and financial woes, if you've got huge rafts of cash and want to invest in the company, maybe you can get somewhere...)

Anyway, if you wanna send stuff to CPM (money or encouragement), according to their website their address is 250 West 57th Street; New York, NY 10107...
