Wo Ai Ni, danmei must be selling well.

it's because women actually buy this shit by the dozen and outbuy men. it's literally just that. former manga exclusive publishing companies from where i live are now starting to do webtoons and chinese stuff. the demand for BL is also WAY bigger than the demand for yuri as well.

Well that fucking sucks.

>fly by night localization slop companies are a bunch of gay fags and fat women who want to see gay fags fag each other up the fag hole until gritty brown fagcum gushes out
I have been telling you this for years, for decades
viz was just trash but at least they put in effort, these new companies are tumblr cows who got nepo deals based on kickbacks and 0 talent

This concept might be strange for some, but a product's success is calculated by its sales. If you want more of something, go for it and buy it. That's the only valid metric for people who are negotiating contracts.

>6 danmei, 0 manga
Why even post it here at this point?They don't even look all that good. For how long these take to translate, they should be getting through all the classic Chinese faggotry first desu.

Viz is probably the worst manga publisher in the world. Shit paper, shit covers (with plenty of blurry covers and jpeg artifacts on them), no dust jackets, shit translations, and on top of it all, they censor fucking everything. America has probably the worst manga publisher scene in the entire world.
And it's still beating the big two, which is funny in its way.

I meant more that 7S takes their sweet time with publishing their danmei licenses. They announced their batch of 12 in 2024 and only recently came out with volume 1s for most of them with another year's wait for volume 2s out of ~5-10, for example, and I've seen similar ETAs for others. They usually don't wait that long for LNs unless they sell really low numbers, at least as far as I've seen.

I'm buying Makeine, AnoSeka, the Too-Perfect Saint, Reincarnated as a Sword, Hidden Dungeon Kanouwa, Magic Maker, and KuraKon and pirating Easygoing Territory Defense and How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom but it isn't enough. For every me, there are a hundred rabid women readers who want gay Chinese sex

Yuuup, that's literally it. Women actually bother to purchase their crap. Pretty sure some employee from seven seas said on a post here that Devilman flopped so hard they cancelled any plans to translate any more Go Nagai and Ken Ishikawa stuff.

Oh noo, Seven Seas isn't picking up my favourite manga and then dropping it after five volumes. How terrible.

The ironic thing is this is an entire danmei genre at this point.
>MC loses GF to another dude
>Decides to take revenge by seducing/fucking the dude
>MC ends up either falling for the dude or the dude flips the situation and turns the MC into an onahole
China is based

It’s a thing.
Zergverse is when the males operate in an insect style hive mind around a queen. The queen doesn’t need to be female either. Sometimes the hive members are broken into different roles or caste systems too.
Named after the Zerg from StarCraft of course.

These retarded world building projects will always make me laugh.
Pomegaverse still tops for being the most silly.

The guy that translated it said that people did buy Devilman, but didn't really spring for Cutie Honey.
Frankly though, I don't really like their releases of Devilman and Kamen Rider even if I did buy them. They overstuffed these books to get away with releasing everything in as few volumes as they can and it's just unwieldy to actually read.
The Lupin III collections avoid this only because they're Best Of compilations and not the full series.

I prefer the Terryverse, where you see luminiferous persons of color and have an overwhelming urge to roll a wheeled conveyance over them
God and your bird also communicate with you via pseudorandom number generators

>>285831453
i really like guide verse but i don't think i've ever seen someone do something compelling with it other than sexslop. It has the means to be really good romance or fantasy but it's only ever used for sex.

Makes sense, fujos love Devilman. I hate omnibuses too, they're cost effective if you just want a collector's edition of something you already read, but they're just not very good for holding. The same can be said for 7S's entire danmei line, which are needlessly large with tons of wasted space and huge fonts, but made with extremely flimsy materials that flop all over.

Reminds me that the binding on one of my Devilman volumes was so tight that it actually cracked slightly from me opening it the first time. I thought it was just my copy but apparently it had been an issue with the Chinese printer that 7S uses.
