Yaoi publisher SuBLime announced at YaoiCon that it will begin North American release of the manga series Love Stage!!, by Eiki Eiki and Taishi Zaou, in May 2015, with subsequent volumes every two months. In this romcom series, the hero is an otaku that wants to become a manga-ka, in a family packed with celebrities. Digital Manga released some earlier titles by Eiki Eiki, including Train*Train (see "2010 Great Graphic Novels for Teens"), The Art of Loving (see "Digital Manga Names New Yaoi Imprint") and World’s End (see "A Yaoi Explosion").
SuBLime also announced the North American launch of The World’s Greatest First Love, by Shungiku Nakamura, in February 2015. The series is a romcom in which a handsome, single young man discovers his new boss is an old flame. Fans may remember that Tokyopop published Nakamura’s longrunning Junjo Romantika series beginning in 2006 (see "New BLU Manga for Fall").
SuBLime announced the release dates of several upcoming volumes, including Embracing Love Vol. 3 (August 2015), Hide and Seek Vol. 3 (March 2015), and Starting with a Kiss Vol. 3 (June 15th).
And SuBLime announced the digital-only release of Ginger Honey and The Night Beyond the Tricorner Window.
