This post sums up the reasoning for the change. If you have further questions, feel free to PM me.

I've addressed similar concerns in the past, but I'll give the best answer I can.

The ero manga industry isn't much different from any other form of media. Hollywood and AAA developers tend to stick to what's safe (which typically means sequels and reboots of popular series), while the independent scene is where they innovate and create things for the niche market. It all comes down to money and risks; a multi-billion dollar movie with thousands of staff can't afford to fail, whereas the hobbyist does it as a passion project.

It's the same deal with ero manga. Commercial manga (magazines and books) sticks to content with broad appeal, while the indie scene (doujinshi) is where artists are free to experiment with odd fetishes. There are certain doujin circles that focus on a unique fetish that no one else does, and this works because they can minimize loss (or possible turn a profit) by selling to a couple hundred customers who are interested in that genre. On the other hand, it wouldn't work if you put the same content in a major magazine that goes out to millions of readers, due to the risk of alienating the 99.9% of their audience who doesn't care for that material. When a doujinshi flops, one artist has to take the loss. When a magazine flops, an entire publishing company and potentially hundreds of artists are affected.

A common suggestion that's brought up in this discussions is Comic Unreal. Looking at recent issues, it seems futanari is present in every other issue. Assuming it's a single chapter, this means that futanari only makes up 2-3% of their content, despite being one of the most prominent sources of "alternative" material. I imagine this is a similar situation as with Comic Bavel, which has a single artist who specializes in monster girl content. This is pretty unusual mind you, because typically when an amateur who does alternative stuff get published, they shift to drawing more "normal" material for the magazine.

To sum it all up, we could pick up every major commercial magazine currently released in Japan, and the ratio between mainstream and alternative content would stay mostly unchanged. As I've said before, doujinshi is always going to be where you'll find the more extreme or unusual fetishes. In some rare cases, a prolific doujinshi artist may land a book deal, which was the case for Futabu! Mix, but it's so rare it was even addressed in the afterword of the book:


This probably wasn't exactly the answer you were hoping for, but I hope it at least helped explain why things are the way they are. Also...


To my knowledge, the best way to do this would be to exclude the Book and Doujin tag from your searches. For instance "futanari -doujin"

As far as I understand it, this game was the first time Illusions used the Unity engine, so our team updated the code to make it more efficient. I can't comment on whether or not that has a considerable effect on performance. That said, performance takes a big hit when applying fan-made translation mods, so having the game in native English is a notable improvement on how well it runs.

It's currently 6 AM local time and products like books usually go up late in the afternoon/early evening. That said, I have personally no involvement with the games and can't make any real promises (anyone who can is probably still asleep), but I wouldn't expect it for at least a couple more hours.

Oops. It's not done yet. Half of the data (including the cover) was missing when we were first sent the Bavel files. Cover should be done some time this week.

We had some catching up to do after the end-of-year vacation on top of working on some bigger special projects (one of them being Honey Select Unlimited), so it's taken a bit longer than normal for certain chapters. I'm going to make a push for releasing the last two chapters from BEAST 2018-02 next week, so ideally the first Bota Mochito chapter will be out by next weekend.

While I fully understand the frustration, we don't want to give preferential treatment by only making certain artist's works available for purchase. Right now, I don't think there are any plans for making individual chapters purchasable (due to a multitude of hurdles), but there's always the option for a future book release once there's enough material for one. All I can say for now is that I'm personally interested in publishing a yuri book and will make a push for it once the opportunity presents itself, but I can't make any promises at this point in time.

Sorry about the delay. We're aware of the issue, and we should be able to fix it on Monday.

We're starting out 2018 by adding Deep Blue Static, the latest book from Key, to our list of upcoming titles!

Some of you probably expected this to be titled Ultramarine Noise, but we decided against that for a few different reasons. The main contributing factor came from us discussing the title with the artist and their editor. It's meant to convey feelings of nostalgia, especially the idea of thinking back to a cherished time in one's youth. We decided to expand the meaning of the literal color to better capture that idea of deep, sentimental thoughts with a hint of melancholy.

The change from Noise to Static was a lot less dramatic, and it simply comes down to the word "noise" having a double meaning of "sound" and "interference" in English. Similarly to the first part of the title, there's a slight difference in connotations between the two languages, and a direct translation was less than ideal. We wanted to eliminate that ambiguity, and opted for what we believe is the more fitting "Static" for our release.

Finally, this book has no real connection to the previously released Ultramarine chapter, so the discrepancy isn't much of an issue in that regard.


We hope you're excited to pick this up. You don't have to wait long, but in the meantime, make sure to check out Key's debut book, After School Vanilla!
