This is just my opinion:
I’m super furious with Digital Manga (Yaoi, June, 801), as the few decent series they put out they don’t publish enough copies to buy unless you get the day they’re released (maybe). Then within weeks, if not days, you’re looking at skyrocketing prices for used copies. For the most part they put out manga that’s not even worth a look at; however, they do have two series I like (one I like a lot) and can’t get copies even right after volumes come out and both could really use extra editions of the volumes in these series.
The series are: The Tyrant Falls In Love Koisuru Boukun 恋する暴君 by TAKANAGA Hinako 高永ひなこ (Yaoi) and especially Hidden Flower Hana wa Saku ka 花は咲くか by Shoko Hidaka 日高ショーコ (June).
They probably don’t publish enough volumes when they get decent series, as for the most part, they publish junk that no one I know wants to read and they wouldn’t sell many copies of those; but then they get a good or a classic series and don’t finish and only publish fewer than needed copies so people can’t get their hands on all the volumes and give up on the series or they quit publishing the series as people are upset as they can’t get the volumes. They also don’t release volumes at a fast enough pace, especially for those volumes out or finished series. In the case of a classic already finished series: Borders 境界線 by KODAKA Kazuma こだか和麻(June) they never finished the series and there was so long a wait between volumes that you couldn’t buy the series at once as out of print with each volume. (I prefer to buy a series, especially one that’s finished and not too long, all at once.)
Even the library, that has signed up for one of these series couldn’t get all the volumes – that’s bad, as I and others I know, often check out something before spending my cash on buying it – don’t want to waste my money and libraries are great source to learn about new things that may be of interest to you.
There are probably several other series that I’ve missed as they just, in general, don’t publish good quality stuff and not worth checking on them and when they do get a good series or a classic series seem to mess up totally on publishing it to upset the fans.
And, unless you love to get spammed, don’t bother emailing them about something, you won’t get an answer and you’ll continue to get spam, especially on Project H material that is more male oriented and would turn most fujoshi off in a flash! The few BL volumes in the spams don’t seem worth paying attention. Just another irritant by an irritating publisher.
Why is this company still publishing? Why are good mangaka’s allowing them the rights to their works?!?!?!
