Even more boys making out with other boys

Everyone's talking about DMP's new releases -- certainly, I wasn't expecting anyone to license Robot, a manga anthology headed by illustrator extraordinaire Range Murata. (It's okay Murata-sensei, we won't talk about your odd predilection for 14-year-old girls in leather bikini tops.) But seriously folks, this one's gonna be pretty if nothing else.

Also, more yaoi!

TCR has the scoop on the Honey Room adult manga obscenity case. (Verdict: guilty.) Where's CBLDF Japan when you need them?

Love Manga rounds up the Bookscan Top 10 so that I don't have to. (just kidding, I love you really!) Interesting that Gravitation and Legal Drug have both cracked the top five. It's boy's-love season all around!

More advance copies! Precocious Curmudgeon checks out Hinako Ashihara's SOS next, and finds that short story shoujo is awesome.

It seems pretty obvious to me that the Manga News Service report on the Honey Room case was a mistake.

Note that the date in the article -- Jan. 13 -- is the exact same date the judgment was originally handed down in 2004.

Seems like someone at MNS screwed up, pure and simple.

Here is my post detailing the scenario (at first I thought it was a new story myself!):
