Sorry for the lack of activity on the front page lately. I can only promise you that a lot has actually been going on behind the scenes. I periodically edit the Coming Soon post with status updates when projects are moving, so it's not all quiet here!
Over on the DMG production side, I hope everyone knows that eManga.com has recently gotten an enormous overhaul. It's now easier than ever to find titles published under the DMG banner, or any of Digital Manga, Inc.'s other imprints. You have the option of reading manga online, or downloading in any format for any ereader you might have. By the by, you have from now until this Friday, January 4, 2013, to use the coupon code DMYC655 in order to receive 10% off your entire eManga order (one use per user). If you're at a loss as what to use it on, might I humbly suggest one of our own titles which are Available Now? ;)
As a reminder to anybody with a Goodreads account, I'm the one who's been obsessively compiling shelves of all the fan-localized DMG titles in two lists: One for BL titles, and one for general audience titles. A Goodreads account is quite handy when you want to keep track of things you've read, things you want to read, things you've left reviews for, etc.
So, let's talk about New Year's resolutions. I've had a project percolating in the back of my mind for a while now, but I'd been waiting on the new eManga launch to see whether or not it'd be necessary. And it seems it is. I want to put together an index of DMG groups and their homepages. It'll live over in the right sidebar there, and it'll probably be no more than a simple alphabetical list of groups with a link to their main page/blog, and maybe a banner if they want to include one. So heads up to any group leaders who may be reading this - I'll probably be in touch soon to see if you want to be listed. :)

Behind the Scenes: Love Chemistry Lab
Love Chemistry Lab is by far, the smuttiest book we've worked on, and it might even be the smuttiest book I, personally, have read. It was especially jarring because the other two books in the assigned bundle were positively chaste. ^^;
Upon rereading LCL, I realized that there's not much in the way of interesting trivia or references, so this post will focus more on localizer commentary and actual Behind the Scenes info on the production process. Enjoy!

Love is Like a Hurricane PLUS, by Tokiya Shimazaki
President Azuma, known for both his intelligence and attractiveness, fell in love at first sight with Mizuki Hasegawa. Mizuki Hasegawa wasn't very impressed with his courtship, from the first surprising fumbling he felt on the train on his way to school, to being told that he reminded Azuma of a dog he used to own. Azuma found himself with his hands full as Mizuki battled him every step of the way to no avail, and all too soon, the pair found themselves in the eye of a hurricane of love. ♥ Now a long established couple, the pair have matured a bit, and return in this sequel to the wildly popular original series. Everything is far from smooth sailing, however, as their love continues to encounter category 4 storms thanks to Mizuki's short temper and Azuma's own machinations. Can their love survive?

Behind the Scenes: Snow and Kisses
Of all the projects we've done so far, Snow and Kisses has definitely had the most tumultuous production process. It seemed like one thing after another would come up and stall us or otherwise cause us no end of grief. But against all odds, it's finally unleashed on the public, and the problem child has finally grown up and left home. And like my child, I still love it despite all the trouble.
So, read on for trivia. :)

Yes It's Me, by Tomoko Yamashita
Touma suspects that his long-time friend and business partner Enoki might have a crush on him. Though honestly, who wouldn't fall in love with someone so gorgeous? But when Enoki accuses Touma of being the one with the crush, Touma doesn't know what to think! After all, how could Touma have room in his heart for another when he's already so madly in love with himself?
Tomoko Yamashita presents a collection far removed from the norms of the Boys’ Love genre. These seven atypical stories are filled with drama, tension, and above all, an uncommon wit.
