aya isino's Sink Into You

Introducing...

aya isino's Sink Into You!

***

Love? Family? Belonging? Takata tells himself he doesn't need them; a gay man like him can't have them.

Seno despises shameless Takata. Whenever Takata enters the coffee shop, Seno grits his teeth, barely manages to greet him, and tries not to think about how Takata destroyed his boss's marriage. But Seno makes a horrible assumption: he pins the cruel heart on the wrong man. His strong feelings morph into something more complicated than disgust. Can Seno convince Takata that creating a family doesn't rely on being "gay" or "straight"?

***

With her stark, dramatic line art, isino aya strips humanity to its basic needs. Men break into pieces on their way to wholeness in the intelligent, interconnected stories of SINK INTO YOU.

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

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?
