Next queue: DMG requires each member to send in their contract as a hard copy. Finally, we were sent our contracts BLBangBang put on its serious hat for contract discussions and group planning. I reread my grammar and style books and went through three shelves of my favourite manga before our individual approvals were completed and our members were linked. After submitting our qualifying tests, we had a considerable wait. Our original group members were all part of the experimental first wave of people applying to DMG. Understandable, but incredibly frustrating! Here was a brave and exciting promise: one that demonstrated awareness and appreciation of fan motivation and wanted to work with the long proven power of active enthusiasts! So, I’m gonna strap on the leather restraints and divide this journey into four categories: group formation DMG interaction the working process and group interaction and beliefs.īoysLoveBangBang, or the shortened version BLBangBang, was not without its set up discouragements, both from DMG itself and from within our group.Īfter announcing their-somewhat vague-comic guild idea, DMG needed time to define both their potential and procedures before attempting to clear the air for everyone interested in joining the guild. Today, not only am I excited about Digital Manga Publishing’s (DMP) unprecedented business model, the Digital Manga Guild (DMG), but I also want to share my personal experience so far with my localizing team, BoysLoveBangBang, and DMG. When I’m excited, my thoughts bubble up, suddenly exploding en masse.
We are also working on episode 3 and hope to release it soon as well.Editor’s note: While my own DMG experience has been stalled due to the disintegration of my localizing group (soon to be restarted, more on this soon!), the active group BoysLoveBangBang has agreed to share with us their Guild experience!

They will slowly start to be revealed from Episode 2 and onward, when the hearts of the two characters begin to waver for each other. I'm very much looking forward to this becoming more popular overseas, which I hope will contribute to the success of other titles in the future.Ī lot of mysterious things will happen in Ore Miko!

I also have plans to provide posters, illustrations, and a few of my signed "shikishi"s for everyone. original BL manga written by a Japanese artist, but at the same time, I feel honored to have this opportunity to work alongside Digital Manga on such an exciting, innovative project. I'm a little worried about this becoming the first ever U.S. In the end, I landed on the idea of merging certain aspects of American superhero comics with elements from Japanese "Youkai" and "Mikos". And since I've always written my stories in a similar way, I had to think very hard for this project. Which is why I decided to create a brand new manga just for my American fans, as a way to say thank you.īL was originally born in Japan, so it is created in a way that caters to a Japanese audience. When I visited Yaoi-Con, I was blown away by the sheer amount of (positive) feedback I received from the American fans. Working with Sakira has been a great honor for us at Juné and we are very grateful she has be so enthusiastic about this project :)
