Right Stuf <3

I had a conversation with my sister today and told her how I was hoping some company would announce the acquisition of the Junjou Romantica anime today. "It's been over a year since it was released and it has a modest fan base, someone has to snatch it up", I told her.

Somebody did.

Thank you so much Right Stuf!

And then the dread sets in. God. I want this dubbed and I want it dubbed well. The last BL Right Stuf dubbed was Gravitation and that dub is just...well, it makes me laugh. That's good, right? Sometimes bad dubs are awesome. But I don't want dubbed Junjou to be awesome for that reason. So, please, Right Stuf, don't disappoint. And oh my, how great would it be if this got a limited edition that came with a Suzuki-san?

Also, that's not all. Right Stuf acquired Antique Bakery :). Ah, today was a good day for BL fans. What can make it better? An announcement of a simultaneous release of Ai no Kusabi. What's that? That's impossible? Well, a girl can dream, can't she?

Now go and celebrate my fellow fujoshi!

Edit: Oh-ho-ho, they already have websites up for both Junjou and Antique. Not much info up as of yet.

Edit #2: Someone reminded me on the Junjou community on LJ that the possibility of RS dubbing this is very slim because all their recent releases have been sub only. Which made me go "Doh" because I knew that. But, man, am I hoping so hard for this to be dubbed. I really super want to hear these boys in English.

Very sparse pickings this month. I'm fan of Love Control so I might pick this up so the other volume I have won't get lonely (but how can it when it's currently in the middle of a BL orgy on my shelf >_<).

Pretty, pretty covers

Posting again so soon just 'cause I sincerely believe this is one of the best covers Ms. Tanaka has ever done:

So not a fan of this series (I do believe it's one of the only series I don't own from this creator), but I do enjoy Phoenix. I'll probably try and see about getting my hands on it. Maybe I'll put in one of those request to Jpqueen.

Also, I'm totally diggin' the new cover to Miyamoto's Please:

You can check out more of the covers to this months Libre releases here. And the cover and previews for the next issue of BexBoy will be up on the 7th of this month, so keep an eye out.

Jpqueen: Just a little break?

A lot happened on the 25th of last week. Three greats passed: Fawcett, Micheal Jackson, and Jpqueen. What's that? You don't think Jpqueen is so great? Well, it is to many fujoshi. I for one was saddened by their news of their closing. All month I waited to see if they'd provide their customers with a further explanation. This Monday, Jpqueen posted the following message:

Future Schedule 29/06/2009
Currently, this web site has no items to sell. We take some rest at least for a month.
If the circumstance allows, we will return as smaller service.
If you have requests of products, please use "Looking For function" If possible, we will search the items during the interruption.
Thank you for understanding.

I hope they're able to reorganize during their month off. But if they decide to shut down permanently I can understand. Even I have scaled down my BL purchases this year. Whatever their decision, I wish them luck.
