Site Relaunched

Michelle — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 03:04:37 +0000

We’re back! After a two year hiatus, the site has been rebuilt from scratch to focus on the essentials. Titles are listed by publisher and are current through the end of the year. Listings include both manga and manwha (and one lone manhua title as of this date). Josei and shoujo titles are integrated, but there is also a special page for josei so you can see them all at a glance. Boys Love has its own section: most links point directly to the publishers’ sites as they are often the best way to navigate the titles.

To keep updates manageable I will only be updating with new titles when they are officially announced at industry panels. For more frequent manga news I recommend Kuriousity and MangaCast.
