You may have noticed a few changes around here at YaoiSuki. That's because we've moved to a new host, and in the process upgraded and altered a bunch of our features (most notably: embedded wiki and better forums). Unfortunately, we lost our user database in the move, so those of you who were signed up will unfortunately need to sign up again. It's a pretty painless process though!

It's sad for me to have to make this announcement in the midst of such
exciting times for BL fans-- the number of BL manga in the US just keeps
rising, as does the number of anime adaptations in Japan, and did I
mention ANTIQUE BAKERY ANIME?! --but make it I must.
After much discussion, Jordan and I have decided to suspend our BL
coverage at YaoiSuki indefinitely. Between my new job and apartment, and a
score of complications for Jordan, we simply no longer have the time to
dedicate to our regular news and reviews lineup (a fact no doubt noticed
by many of you).
The site will continue to be here for those who wish to go through our
past reviews, check on some news item that happened, con coverage, forums,
etc. But neither of us will be updating for the foreseeable future.
Will we ever come back? That I don't know. We've loved running this site
for the last two years (we even missed our 2nd birthday this year-- that's
how bad we are now!), and we're sad that we have to set it aside now. So
it's certainly not impossible that we'll be back! But for the time being,
the site will remain silent.
That said, we ourselves will certainly still be around, even if we're not
updating. You can contact me (Jen) at

If you want to keep up on yaoi-related news, I've extracted a promise from
our oft-mentioned friend gia to cover the BL news as much as possible,
both on her current site at giapet.net and at her upcoming site (I *will* make a quick post when that's going). She does a fantastic job with news coverage in general and
I know she follows BL as well, so I'm sure she'll do a boffo job.
I also want to make a quick shout-out to the publishers, especially
Digital Manga Publishing, DramaQueen, Yaoi Press, Central Park Media, Deux
Publishing, Iris Print, Boysenberry, Yen Press, Kitty Media, Blu
Manga...oh wait, that's pretty much all of them, isn't it? Each and every
company embraced us and offered information and review copies and we were
continually (and pleasantly) surprised by their support.
...Well, I guess that's about it, so...thanks for all the good times,
guys. You are the ones who made all the work we've done over the last two
years fun and worthwhile, and we'll miss you. So don't be a stranger, ok?
♥ Jen and Jordan

I just got a frantic call from my pal gia, who apparently was checking up on her RSS feeds in the middle of a layover in Oakland and found this big news. For those of you who can't read it:
ANTIQUE BAKERY IS GETTING A TV ANIME!
Yes, yes, it's not technically BL (and gia and I both expressed our hopes that people won't assume it is and ignore it), but it's still very exciting and it's about time that Yoshinaga got a chance for more recognition!
The 12-episode series will air this July. And that sound you hear? That's the sound of a thousand fangirls squee-ing.

YaoiCon has announced its guest of honor for 2008: Nitta Youka, creator of Haru wo Daiteita/Embracing Love! This isn't her first appearance at the con, either-- she attended six years ago. I bet more than a few of you will be excited to have her back, aye?
We first heard about it from the Youka Nitta LJ Community, btw.
