Introducing our new imprint: KUMA!

Today we're proud to present KUMA, home of the best in LGBTQ manga produced with the FAKKU quality you know and love. We wanted to provide a better, higher quality standard for all the best yaoi and yuri the manga industry has to offer, so we made it happen! Our books will be available here on FAKKU, on Amazon, the regular online manga shops, and whenever possible... in physical stores like Barnes & Noble!

Our first book, Melting Lover by Bukuro Yamada, launched last week along with the early reveal of KUMA. If you're at all curious about this new imprint, you can read the first chapter right now for free! Our second title made its idol debut at Anime Expo, so attendants can grab a physical copy of Can an Otaku Like Me Really Be an Idol!? by Wacoco Waco today, or you can pre-order and read it next week when the digital edition comes out.

We also just revealed our two next releases at our industry panel: CANIS -Dear Mr.Rain- by Zakk—a tale of a hatter and a stray with a mysterious past; and When Budding Lilies Blossom by syou—our first ever 100% yuri book! We'll have more info on these titles later this year when they're closer to release, and if you want to stay up to date with everything KUMA in the meantime, make sure to follow us on twitter!

One day, Suzuki discovers that Hayakawa is secretly into idols... and Suzuki can’t control his lust for him any longer.

[syou] When Budding Lilies Blossom: Praise the yuri gods \o/

Awh man a YURI BOOK?! This is awesome! Syou never fails to deliver cute stories. This is a must buy!

Finally the syou book we've all been waiting for! ^_^

YURI BOOK?! Excellent news! This is a must buy!

I've been waiting for more yuri books, so I'm really happy about this! Even though the syou book is mostly previously released content, I'm super happy to have it. This announcement is weirdly yaoi heavy, so I'm hoping that you will get caught up on yuri books before long.

You already got my 40. You might get 20 more with yuri or a tenner.

Wow, yuri and Syou you have my money. Very happy with this one, Yuri is a good thing. So, is this book a collection of stories that have not been published on Fakku? Still crossing my fingers for peachpulsar. Oh, just a heads up. I do check the twitter but I'm not on twitter. I spend more time on this site and not a lot on social media. Thanks for getting the Yuri.

It's the author's first book through the publishers of Bavel. Much like every other book, it's made up of chapters that previously appeared in the magazine.

Of the top of my head, I believe around 1/3 has not been on FAKKU before, as those chapters predates the first volume of Bavel we published.

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to the it.

Fantastic news for fans of these genres. Cool to see Fakku catering to a wider demo.

syou's pixiv has the chapter list (in Japanese) and previews of all chapters if you want to know what exactly it includes.

Woo. My crossdressing book been ship. And the yaoi love story.

Crossdressing one received.

Any chance we could get an update on syou's book?

Very soon~

Instant purchase, Thank you Fakku
