All right, another Fumi Yoshinaga title!! I've adored Antique Bakery, and Gerard & Jaques has been good fun so far, so i'm looking forward to this. (and it's on a "hard core" label too!! This is gonna be interesting).

Oh, and another from Toko Kawai is going to be interesting, and Ai no Kusabi novels too. Damn, being a yaoi fan is bank account draining Shocked

The OJEL idea sounds really interesting. I'm not sure how well it will work, though, unless they get some Japanese manga-ka that are fluent enough in English to make an interesting story.

(Or are they planning on having an american write the scripts and the manga-ka just drawing?)

Yay, the Ai no Kusabi novels! Ever since I watched the VHS dub of the OAV prefaced by its 10 minute text explanation of the complex society within the books, I knew I had to read them. I can't wait. First Crest of the Stars, now this one. I'm so excited by novels we're finally getting here!

OJEL had me baffled for a minute, but it seems like an interesting idea and it's a very original manga marketing concept. Actually, I am all for the idea of OJEL, and I'm interested in seeing how well it fares in the West.
