Princess Princess in Finnish!
A Finnish publisher will translate and publish Princess Princess! \o/
First volume will be out around New Year and I'm definitely going to buy it. I usually wait until I can get a used volume when I want to buy a Finnish volume because, well, half the price. This time I want to fully support the publisher. It's about time that someone picks up a BL manga. I really hope that people will buy it and show that yes indeed, we also want to read about pretty boys liking other pretty boys. XD
So far we've mostly got mainstream shounen, sparkly shoujo I wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole and a few lesser-known series like Petshop of Horros and Trinity Blood. ...Not to say that I'm complaining about the last two or my darling shounen. I'm just happy to see that the publishers are branching out even more. One small step at a time and so forth. ♥

mipeltaja just reminded me, we already had Gravitation. I guess I forgot it completely because I've never had any interest in it.

I'm so happy the market for BL manga is huge in Germany now, but I do remember when there were only two series out at the beginning. I'm still buying almost everything now, at least everything that sounds interesting, which is way too much by now. *g* Yay for working in a publishing house and getting books/manga at reduced prices. *cough*

Still, this is only the second series and the first I've been interested in. I'll definitely buy it! *hopes for a good translation* I also hope that this will open the door for other series, though aforementioned friend made me wonder where we'd sell the manga with adult-only rating. So far our supermarkets and kiosks have sold all series. Would they shelve Innocent Bird next to Naruto or porn magazines? XD

And I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. There definitely needs to be more BL/yaoi!
