Digital Manga Adds Boys-Love Titles Apple & Honey, Wolf Magic

North American publisher Digital Manga Inc. announced at its panel at Fanime on Saturday that it has licensed Hideyoshico's Apple and Honey (Ringo ni Hachimitsu, pictured at right) and Apple and Honey: His Rose Colored Life (Kare no Barairo no Jinsei, pictured far right) manga and Natsuki Zippo's Wolf Magic (Okami wa Maho o) boys-love manga (pictured below left) for print.

Hideyoshico's Apple and Honey and the sequel Apple and Honey: His Colored Life are each one-volume manga. Their stories begin when Natsuki Matsuda, a gay second-year college student, is invited to a curry club by a younger man. Tokyo Mangasha released the two volumes in 2011 and 2012.

Tokyo Mangasha also released the one-volume Wolf Magic manga in Japan last August. The story follows college student Higuchi when he meets the older student Nagase. Nagase is taciturn and seemingly expressionless at first, but he opens up to Higuchi when they get to know each other.

In addition, Digital Manga revealed that it will release the eighth and final volume of Hideyuki Kikuchi and Saiko Takaki's Vampire Hunter D manga and the second volume of Muku Ogura and Narise Konohara's Castle Mango boys-love manga. The company stated that Yaoi-Con will take place again next year, but cannot announce the location and dates yet.

This standalone extension of the Tenchi Muyo! franchise does offer significant entertainment value, but in almost every aspect it lacks the energy and enthusiasm necessary to actually be a good series. The Rose of Versailles Sub.DVD
It is easy to see why The Rose of Versailles is held in such high esteem. Emotional, historical, and beautiful to watch, the show brings the last years of the French monarchy to life in the best anime style. Dusk maiden of Amnesia Blu-Ray

On the whole, The Battle for Doldrey is a mixed bag of strengths and weaknesses. While that may be true of most things, there are few places where those lines are so clearly drawn as in this film. InuYasha Movie Blu-ray Complete Collection
Four movies, all so rigidly formulaic that they could be sequential remakes. This is an entertaining set all told, but you can get the same experience (or better) by watching the first film four times. K-ON! The Movie Blu-Ray
The movie finishes what the TV series began, with a story that goes beyond a typical episode, but stops short of being an epic, life-changing experience. Sailor Moon GN 8 -10
The fourth story arc of Naoko Takeuchi's Sailor Moon saga, known to many fans as “Sailor Moon SuperS,” may have a reputation from the anime as being one of the weakest arcs, but the two and a half volumes that make it up in the manga are among the best the series has to offer. Kids on the Slope Blu-Ray
Jazz music is much the stars as the main cast in this story about teens who become friends in late 1960s Japan. Great sounds and good character development bolster what is otherwise a fairly pedestrian character drama. more reviews... Random Fun Rumiko Takahashi Anthology DVD 2
Rumiko Takahashi continues to exercise her short story-telling skills in this second installment. Three new episodes offer three entirely different and generally light-hearted stories about ordinary people.
