Wow, according to the Blu panel at Yaoicon, they've licensed Flesh & Blood by Matsuoka Natsuki and illustrated by Yukifune Kaoru!!! I was wondering if anyone was going to pick this one up since it's actually really good. I think I've heard this company does good work, so I'm very happy that this series was picked by them. XDXD I wonder if the translations will catch up to the Japanese volumes and the English readers will get stuck with the rest of us waiting for more...

Huh, they also picked up Dekiru otoko ga sukinanda by Takanaga Hinako...What a coincidence, I just read that the other day and thought it was utter trash.

Yay for gay pirate story! I looked at amazon.jp and it has quite a few volumes.

Still pinching myself in disbelief despite pronouncing yesterday that I have faith in the industry... I guess I didn't have THAT much faith.

Blu do good translations and editting... usually... and their printing improved dramatically lately so all thumbs up for that ^_^

Oh, that's good. I don't follow the English publishers but I know that the quality varies quite a bit.

I'm definitely looking forward to some quality yaoi novel translations!

As for the trash with the good -- unfortunately that seems to be the nature of licensing. Ahh well... at least they do hit on some good titles now and again ;-)

I hope they do a quality novel translation on this one!

On the trash with the good...I suppose it can't be helped since most of what is published in Japan is trash...

Sometimes there's a benefit to NOT being able to read Japanese -- one can make up one's own story to go with the images or simply enjoy the artwork. But then, of course, there are the times that I KNOW there's a good story there and alas... no translation. :-)
