Before they release those, they really need to reprint Volume 1.

How do they make any money on this? Its bad enough when you get physical copies with 10-20 volume runs that get cancelled before they are finished, Tokyopop anyone? But to pay for a digital manga, on a volume to volume basis?
I can at least sell the physical copies to recoup some of my loss and disappointment, what am I going to do with digital copies if they drop the series after a few volumes.

In regards to Hentai Prince, they never released a digital version as far as I know...

So they announce something as generic as Henneko, but they don't announce that DM has licensed Hidan no Aria and released the first volume 2 weeks ago?? You have failed me ANN...

lol Well, has Digital Manga (besides maybe the Guild, which seems to advertise itself) even announced that they own the rights to the light novel and manga? They release so much from Digital Manga Guild, yet how much of the general audience even know about them?
I was surprised to see that they had Aria the Scarlet Ammo out already, when I didn't even know they had it. I don't have any particular interest in the series (anime or otherwise), but I bought it to support it a few days ago. It's their first light novel of that sort, amongst the hentai and yaoi manga and novels that nearly dominates their library.

Well, I suppose that's true. It just surprises me because I remember a little while back I saw a poll on Crunchyroll that placed Hidan no Aria on the top 5 (I think it was #2, but I don't remember) light novels in Japan. I thought it would get more recognition here as a result of that...but...it hasn't... :/
Then again, those polls that are announced on Crunchyroll are usually pretty ridiculous
P.S. I also purchased the first volume of Aria, even though I've read the fan translation so many times that I probably won't read it lol

They have published a ton of Hideyuki Kikuchi novels, including the Vampire Hunter D series in conjunction with Dark Horse.

Really? I can't seem to find it on their website. Pity, it's something I'd be interested in.

Exactly! It's on their eManga website, since it's digital only. While DMP owns Digital Manga Guild, I'm not even sure if Aria is technically a DMP license. lol

right around the time the anime started streaming i managed to get one of the last copies Amazon.ca had. DMP's store had it listed at the time too, but that's probably long sold out.
BAM lists V1 for $7.77 with a 2-4 week delivery window, but that'll probably result in a cancellation/backorder.

If it's in the print version, Finally! I've had Volume 1 sitting on my shelves feeling lonely.
Regarding to the posts above, Aria the Scarlet Ammo was licensed but only in digital version? Darn...Shame I won't buy anything that are licensed in the form of the digital version...:/

I think you've misread the article. Digital Manga are a publishing company. They've confirmed via the Project H Tumblr (probably NSFW) that The Hentai Prince And The Stony Cat is currently print-only.
