Digital manga has a yaoi imprint? I thought that was like 90% of what DMP put out?

Not so much anymore, it seems-- As someone who buys almost every BL title that comes out for the last few years, I've kinda gotten used to waiting on their releases, quite honestly. Which is okay, as I'm a patient sort and I'm just happy they're publishing a real, physical book-- but it's nowhere near it used to be in terms of BL. At least not from from my perspective.

Yeah, that was my thought as well, which is why I pretty much ignore everything that DMP does. But I might have to get the first volume of Mushroom Pup to check that out. The story sounds promising.

To be more accurate they have more like three imprints for BL. 801 Media for hardcore fan oriented titles, Juné, the commercial imprint and DokiDoki for light, sometimes only suggestive titles.

For 2014:
I think there are about 12 books planned for Juné
5 801 Media title released so far
2 DokiDoki releases also out
And 11 books planned between the DMP and Platinum imprints

DMG started out with BL titles a few years ago but, has also now diversified.

I'm actually pleased to see more diversification than several years ago since I started buying from Digital Manga way back when for seinen titles. Still, I do run into people a lot that either know nothing about the company, or never thought to check DMP out since they were under the impression all Digital Manga is is a BL publisher. Or angry fans that hate they're not publishing more BL. Anime smallmouth + sweatdrop

Well this is the first I'm hearing of them publishing Seinen. I've been to their site a couple times in the past to see if they had any titles I was interested in, but I didn't have the patience to click through their whole BL catalog to find them. I was aware they had a bunch of different imprints, but they all seemed to carry the same genre, so that was no help. Mad respect to any fans who were dedicated enough to unearth any seinen titles from that mountain of BL.
