2026 Okazu Birthday Fundraising Campaign We’re looking back on *24* years of bringing you reviews and news on Yuri, Baihe & GL from around the world! We’ve added Staff and welcomed new Guests and are looking at a future full of Yuri! okazu.yuricon.com/2026/08/02/2...

Also recently announced and coming in 2027 from @udonentertainment.bsky.social and @mangasplaining.bsky.social from our friends at Jitsugyo no Nihonsha is "Department Store Waltz" by Hiromi Matsuo. Like "Rondo," it gives readers a glimpse into a chic, dreamlike world of retro fashion retail

ICYMI - @udonentertainment.bsky.social and @mangasplaining.bsky.social extra have picked up 3 new titles from Jitsugyo no Nihonsha (publisher for "Veil" by @_K0TTERl_) for release in 2027 If you love "Veil," you'll also enjoy "Belles Ruelles," a full-color anthology manga set in a fictional town

YEP guess what, You KNOW WHATS OUT! To everyone who picked up the preorder, TYSM! We hope you're enjoying the book if you got it and making use of the coaster. And everyone else go to peow.studio

I just want a goshdarn tootin' unread button so it can remind me to go back and respond to DMs...

What was the last manga that completely surprised you? We love stories that take unexpected turns—and we've been lucky enough to publish quite a few. If you have any manga you want us to license, hit us up with those: buff.ly/6LR8jc5

I hope mom and pop shops know that I will gladly give my business to them if they are have misspelled menus that was clearly made by them or hand drawn posters over ai slop.

All true, however, if you go into your local library and they don't have things like board games, puzzles, video games, etc. instead of going "Aw, dang..." and not coming back, take a few minutes to fill out a feedback form (librarians can tell you how) and tell them what you'd like to see!

Quartley reminder that if you care about physical media you better support your local library! Where else can you get books, games, board games, puzzles, internet hotspots etc for free? *Get library card, use it *Use library programs *Share library social media *Donate to its foundation

I don't have times yet, but I will be doing a book signing at AnimeNYC at the Manga Mavericks (Independent Media Alliance) table. I'm looking forward to meeting some new and old friends! More formal announcement later. ^_^

We've had a dip in support for the last few months which is totally understandable since finances are looking tight for a lot of folks. But if you are feeling up for supporting an independent media site that focuses on manga, now's a good time to sign up for a yearly or monthly membership.

june@rintohsaka.bsky.social · 2d ago

very happy to see my copy of stop hibari-kun vol.2 arrived to with the cute coaster too from @peow.bsky.social

Currently my needs goal, including unexpected bills, disability aid needs, and meds is about $500. I’m at $42/500 after having to make an unexpected purchase today, and hopefully will be able to get to this emergency goal so I can continue to recover

I got a verdict today: after ten weeks, the state of WA is denying my unemployment, leaving me with an amount in the negative (currently at -$120) and more legwork to do to try and stay afloat while I make an appeal and try to survive until then. Calling again for very immediate aid:

I don't play LADS but seeing the drama and how the company is handling it is just... so bad that I cannot look away.

If you send me a PR / outreach email and forgot to take out the ChatGPT prompt about Yatta-Tachi... don't expect me to respond.

as someone who is more than halfway through 50 episodes of 2003’s circus drama anime Kaleido Star, 100% agree, shit just hits different. we used to be a country.

Michaela Joffe@joffeorama.bsky.social · 3d ago

we should go back to anime having 52 episodes a season because what do you mean goodbye lara is almost half over? like all modern anime it needs time for a beach episode, a christmas episode, a polarizing middle arc, an episode for the VAs to stealth-plug their pop group, and 4-6 “Nanami episodes”

I really wish Otakon and ANYC were not happening at the same month or at least several weeks apart. Wanting to go to both is rough.

Otakon@otakon.bsky.social · 3d ago

Thank you everyone for joining your fellow Otakon guild members this past weekend for another memorable, record-breaking year of 47,049 attendees! Our adventure has concluded, and we hope you'll join us for a spooky summer celebration, August 6-8, 2027. #Otakon2027 #Summerween

It's starting to look like now the best hope for an anime to get a physical release is for its license to expire so AnimEigo or Discotek can rescue them

"Let PlayStation have a Wii U generation" goes so hard.

It's out, Aug 3rd!! Stop!! Hibari-kun! Vol 2! Available directly from us, or from good bookstores across America!

These are the exact issues of Monthly Asuka @mangamavericks.bsky.social is looking for for Sword of Paros. If you have a lead let them know!

George J. Horvath@landofobscusion.bsky.social · 5d ago

@mangamavericks.bsky.social literally asked at their panel that if anyone happens to have issues of Monthly Asuka from 1986 & 1987 to let them know, as they'd like to get as many color pages for Sword of Paros as possible.

selfishly hoping someone on here has old issues of Monthly Asuka because YOU can be responsible for these color pages appearing in print for the first time since the 1980s! Yes you! If you have these specific issues of Monthly Asuka!!!!!

✨ SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT! ✨ Sen ( @uitemasen.bsky.social ), creator of Horon of the Closed Country, is coming to #AnimeNYC! Sen will be appearing as a guest on our Industry panel and will be signing autographs at our booth on all four days of the con! We're so excited to have Sen join us at ANYC! 💝

Magical girl fans!!! Shojo fans generally!! Word at the AnimEigo panel was that the Looking for the Full Moon sales have been kind of weak, amd if that doesn't change they probably will have to backburner licensing magical girl titles. 40% off is a great time to help those numbers!!!
