#EPISODE CROSS WEIGHT MONOGATARI FOR FREE#

(L-R) Lionhearts and Yamada and the Boyįinally, we didn’t talk about piracy this episode, and we probably should have. If anyone reading this has a link to an interview about the economics of BL manga and self-publishing situations right now, I’d love to read it! I do know that Mita-sensei does one-shot stories in Canna and other venues as well, but their output is slow enough that I’d wager they either have another full-time job outside of comics, or are working in a different area of the manga industry under a different name. It’s interesting to see more and more creators self-serializing their works via Pixiv, and then putting it out via publishing companies later. Looks like she started it a year or so after Our Dining Table, and new chapters have been coming out very slowly since then.

Mita Ori’s most recent serialized work is Lion Hearts, which she is in the midst of self-serializing for free on the Pixiv Comics web service. Other Canna titles, like I Hear The Sunspot ( One Peace Books), Boy Meets Maria,and Restart After Coming Back Home(Seven Seas Entertainment) have all been licensed as print and digital releases in English. BL really is its own publishing world.Īnyway, it looks like Canna is releasing their self-translated works in English exclusively on Amazon/Kindle/Comixology. I don’t think I knew that Canna was publishing manga directly in English? That’s fascinating. Interestingly, an earlier 2015 work by Mita Ori called Yamada and the Boy has been published digitally by Printemps Publishing, which is actually the Japanese publisher of the Canna Comics BL anthology manga.

It’s worth mentioning that Our Dining Table was originally serialized by and published as a collection under the Rutile banner, from Japanese publisher Gentosha, the same publishing group/line that published the extremely popular BL manga Yarachin Bitch Club, available in English from SuBLime.
