Review our Digital Manga Guild books!

Hello everyone. Long time no see!

I've been browsing the emanga site, and I've been noticing that quite a few of our lovely children (I mean our books, people, our books!) have no reviews. In attempt to remedy that sad lack, I'm here to ask if there's anyone who'd like to receive a free review copy of one of BLBB's manga  over at e-manga.com. In return, you would be required to review the book and post your review at emanga, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble. We've released some really excellent books in the past few months, and they're not getting enough love!

In case it's not obvious, the review copy is digital only (as all of DMG books are digital only).

To see what to review, just browse below.  Then leave a note on this post, and one of us will work on getting you a free copy. Don't forget to set up an account at emanga.com!


In addition, other books I've contributed recently and are now available on emanga:

Welcome to Nyan Cafe (shoujo or shounen ai) Kira Nakamura
Obey Your Secretary! (yaoi) Choko Kabutomaru


And lastly,  keep your eyes peeled for the following wonderful books. The BLBangers and I are all looking eagerly forward to sharing these with everyone. They should be available very soon (the top three) and in the coming months (the bottom four):

Sink Into You (shounen ai?) Isino Aya
A Convenient Man (yaoi) Yuiji Aniya
Prince & Butler (hot hot yaoi) Rayra Katagiri
To Sow a Seed (yaoi/shounen ai) Terashima
Polaris Bell (shounen ai) Terashima
Distance to Polaris (shounen ai) Terashima
A Day in August (shounen ai?) Tatsuki

Marry Maiko's Love Makes People Grow

Love Makes People Grow by Marry Maiko!

"A child who wasn't loved while small, when he becomes an adult remains a child."

A timid art teacher, over forty but still confused by love, despairs of ever finding a companion. A love-starved boy watches the kindness of families all around him, but insists he doesn't need anything like that. A college student living with his long-term partner purposely tantalizes a neighbor by loudly making love. A bassist fears "weirding out" his bandmates, so he keeps his life with his male lover under wraps. A contrary professor gives himself to a self-assured colleague one night, but it’s not what either of them expect.

Marry Maiko debuts with this quiet bombshell of emotional stories!

Mayu Taumi's Sumida River Love Suicide

Sumida River Love Suicide by Mayu Taumi!

Once upon a time, two ridiculous failures met.

Kumada, once a talented rakugo artiste, had become a famously violent gang member. Uneducated Ogawa, dazzled by Kumada, had become frustrated with his own inability to use anything but the simplest of words. Together, this unlikely duo sought their place to belong in life and in love. 

Three extra tales of unexpected feelings complete this volume: one of sorrow and poetry in the early Shōwa era; another of close but distant brothers; and one that reveals the secret motivations behind the perfect... woman?

KIKUKO KIKUYA's Shameful Body

Shameful Body by KIKUKO KIKUYA

When you’re a sadist and the boy you love is a masochist, picking on him is a pleasure.

Pain doesn’t affect Yoshie... no, that’s not quite right; it feels good! Sensei's forceful massages at the Seitai Clinic are the best. But Sensei's solemn and bone-obsessed son, Mikawa, is secretly listening to Yoshie’s breathless moans! Is it only a passion for bones that excites Mikawa? Yoshie soon realizes that pain in your heart isn’t the same as pain in your body. 

Bonus! A young man loves the pâtissier who works at his dad’s café, but with their age gap, will his love ever be taken seriously?

By the same author as Entangled Circumstances and Secret Thorns!

MEGUMU MINAMI'S Flame of the Tropical Butterfly

Flame of the Tropical Butterfly by MEGUMU MINAMI

They say that the smallest movement from a butterfly's wing has far-reaching effects... and that butterflies are the souls of the dead.
In North Africa, a rocky but fated romance flutters to life while the horrible violence of World War II rages. Richter, a fragile, brilliant German scientist, is a prisoner of the Allies. Grandall is an American soldier with a personal grudge against the enemy. To stay Richter's execution, Grandall makes a startling decision. When tragedy hits Grandall, Richter surprises him with an offer of comfort. These two events begin a relationship that will affect everyone. But an extreme test lies in wait as the landscape of guilt, doubt, and fear intensifies.


A gorgeous and exotic tale that will thrill your heart!

PSYCHE DELICO's Pure Love's Sexy Time

Pure Love's Sexy Time by PSYCHE DELICO (Junai Eroki)

What do animals do in the spring of their lives? They mate! Wildly!

Four mischievous friends have met their match: their own hearts! Now that they're older, the only troubles these country boys find make them moan and pant. Kou-chan wants to confess to Kishi, but he’s full of heart-pounding doubt over Kishi’s response. Mitsuru, the serious boy pining for a lost love, is ambushed by Tarou, an obtuse, air-headed sadist, full of devotion for his darling. And who is this tall boy, beating everyone up yet shooting flowers out of the panels? Somebody needs to figure out his body language.

Psyche Delico comes out to play... all over the pages of PURE LOVE’S SEXY TIME!
