Checking In With The Yaoi Jamboree
Categorized Under: Con Reports, Features
Dated: 22 Jun 2008
So! Yaoi Jamboree, the newest yaoi convention, took place in Phoenix, AZ this weekend, and here is an early report– including the news that Digital Manga Publishing, parent company of both Juné Manga and 801 Media, is going to open a brand-new yaoi shop online.
The URL will be Yaoi-Club.com, and it’s set to open up in September. (If you go to the link now, you’ll be prompted for a login, which I doubt any of us have.)
Juné also announced new licenses: Color (pictured above), by Eiki Eiki and Taishi Zaou, and I don’t know the mangaka for the rest of these, but here they are: Living For Tomorrow, Midnight Blue, Brilliant Blue, and the novel Fevered Kiss, all due out in September 2009.

Brilliant Blue is probably the 2 volume manga of the same title by Yorita Saemi. Someone on the bobof Yahoo group suggested that Living For Tomorrow was Kimi to Iru Asu by Rie Honjou, which seems like a good call. :)
There was one other announced, Doki Doki, but I have no idea what it is.
