It's only the single-volume manga that's been released in the U.S.. The manga is based on a longer running series of novels. Many fans had expressed some disappointment in the brevity of the manga.

I am in agreeance with cyrax on this one.There are guys who would read yaoi and yuri and doesn't mean they are gay or anything.I have read a few novels myself. Last edited by hikura on Mon Mar 21, 2005 8:34 pm; edited 1 time in total |

 I'm sure they don't mean it like that.
@quincyarcher: Ahh. I was actually quite satisfied. :\ But eh, I guess I'll get the novels in case to see if there's any more happening. |

Now that's what we call caring about the fans. I bet we'll never see Tokyopop ask if we want them to license, say, the Island novels (which everyone wants them to license very badly! ... Or maybe that's just me
 ) I mean, sure DMP has the profits they can make utmost in their mind, but, at the same time it shows that they listen to what the fans are saying. I guess it's not a big deal, but, I dunno, I'm impressed. Here's to an online petition that can actually work

Yes, I agree. ^^ I have a friend that went so far as to get the novels in Japanese because she loved the series, so this news made me happy and I signed it. I think it's great what they're doing.

Both companies will only license & translate something if they think it'll be profitable. DMP's petition is merely a way for them to see if there's enough interest to make it profitable. It is a very fan-friendly way to do their market research, but the motivation and result aren't much different than Tokyopop's. For the record, I'm a bgi fan of the products DMP has been putting out lately. I don't care for the Yaoi, but their otherstuff pleases me and the quality is very good for both the yaoi and non-yaoi. -t |

Of course you count! Every one counts! Yes, their novels really ARE enjoyable. Especially Only the Ring Finger Knows. |

The manga was licensed and i heard it was a total success, selling over 20,000 copies. I was one of those people who bought the manga. I can't wait till they licensed the novels! I was so sad that the manga ended. I thought if they had continue it as a manga, it would be even more popular, but i guess it won't happen since it's merely a promotion for the novels. So please, DMP, LICENSE THE NOVELS! There are people like me who would be the first to stand in line for the novels!
