This week’s digital releases bring us a rescue yaoi from the beloved Yun Kouga, two “TOO HOT FOR KINDLE” titles, DMG’s first artbook release, and a sports manga perfect for those of you feeling the Olympics madness! Don’t miss this week’s releases!
Happy 801 Day from all of us at Digital Manga, Inc! To celebrate, we had an intense yaoi trivia blitz that went from 8AM PST to 5:02PM! Thanks so much for playing with us, everyone, you all seriously know your stuff! Right now we’re checking answers and contacting winners, but in the mean time have some news:
If you haven’t heard already, Shoko Takaku’s I’ve Seen It All, vol 1 is now available on Akadot!
Handsome Dr. Chihiro Saikawa has the gift of incredible insight! But his faultless powers of perception are put to the test when he runs into an adorable salesman. What can the doctor do to get close to his heart’s desire? And will his hunch lead him straight into the lap of love? Spoiler: His incredible insight involves men’s privates — he’s a men’s health specialist, after all!
I’ve Seen It All tackles the sweet torture of trying to land the perfect mate! Can a jaded physician be cured of his workaday blues by a beautiful young man? Or will the tug-of-war to suppress his unbearable urges totally consume him?
Speaking of Akadot, they’re holding a pretty amazing 801 WEEK sale – from 8.01 to 8.07, you can get 8% off ANY order when you use the coupon code “801WK” — and that’s not all, every order gets a special yaoi goodie bag!

GARDENA, CA – June 26 2012. Digital Manga Inc., one of the manga industry’s most unique and creative publishers, is proud to announce a partnership with EISYS’s DLsite.com (www.dlsite.com). DLsite.com is one of the largest on-demand download sites in Japan, specializing in the digital distribution of Japanese doujinshi and indie games. The service first opened in 1996 as Japan’s first service offering doujinshi products as downloadable content. Since then, the service has grown exponentially, and today serves over 430,000 customers across the globe through its Japanese and English websites. Until now, readers abroad have been unable to enjoy most of these books in English. By teaming up with DLsite.com, Digital Manga, Inc. has found a broader way to harness the creative power of the thousands of artists that DLsite.com manages and distribute their works to an English-speaking audience.
Doujinshi, self-published manga, is a thriving sub-culture in Japan. Frequently associated with derivative fan comics, the world of doujinshi actually encompasses not only fan comics, but a wide-array of original manga, art books, and even music and video games. The artists who produce these products are likewise numerous and unique, ranging from amateur artists to established mangaka working under a pen name. Every year Japanese fans attend dozens of conventions and purchase innumerable products that are home-brewed by talented artists.
Books from DLsite.com will be localized by the Digital Manga Guild and made available through eManga.com and other e-book platforms for digital, on-demand purchase.
This week’s new digital releases include shojo manga, two print books that you can get SUPER EARLY in digital format, and a mess of too hot for Kindle yaoi titles! Enjoy!
No new digital releases this week means more print releases! In addition to Castle Mango and Private Teacher, vol. 3, these books have been restocked on Akadot!:
