Rocket Bomber - manga

I’d previously posted the Yaoi Gold bundle (isbn 9781933664385) and also made a passing reference to the similar Yaoi Gems bundle (isbn 9781933664392) and wondered aloud if these would be available direct from the publisher?

Yamila responds:

we would have offered the bundles directly, but we only produced 1000 of each of the two bundles, and Borders bought every single one. So…get it at Borders?

There you go. Not only a great deal, but also a ‘limited edition’ of sorts. (and an excuse to use one of those Borders coupons they keep emailing out.)

I’m sure — close to dead certain, in fact — that I’ve seen AX blogged about elsewhere:

Indeed, 3 seconds and Google gives us the skinny from Same Hat! Same Hat!

They broke this as news 10 weeks ago.

So I’m late to the party. Who cares? Let’s Party:

From the US Publisher:

AX is the premier Japanese magazine for alternative comics. Published bi-monthly for over ten years now, the pages of AX contain the most creative and cutting-edge works of independent comics in the world’s largest comics industry. Now Top Shelf presents a 400-page collection of stories from ten years of AX history, translated into English for the first time! This groundbreaking book includes work by Yoshihiro Tatsumi, Akino Kondoh, Kazuichi Hanawa, Shinichi Abe, and many many more! — Softcover Graphic Novel with French Flaps, 400 pages, 6 ½” x 8 ½”

December. Of this year, 2009, not the December just passed. Going to be a long wait yet. (and yet… it’s already ranking as a pre-order; really far down the list, but still still ranking. Who pre-orders books 11 ½ months in advance?)

Now, here’s a screen shot from the recent hourly bestseller chart over on Amazon — vintage, oh… 15 minutes ago

I call this to your attention for two reasons, neither of which has anything to do with the featured title or the fact that it’s on sale for 20% off.
[*sarcasm*] “Amazon has books on sale? We had no idea… that’s crack internet journalism there, Mr. Blind, top notch.” [/sarcasm]

Note, however how the title is listed: Lovers And Souls (Yaoi) (Deux)

All the Deux titles seem to be listed this way — so if one were to plug Deux manga or Deux yaoi into Amazon’s search engine then one would be presented with a tidy little list. While it might be Amazon adding tags to titles to improve the user experience (might be happening) I’m more likely to credit publisher Aurora making the most of the tools available: by merely specifying how their title is listed and adding the search tags to the title they not only get more hits on Amazon —

Look at this:
http://www.amazon.com/Lovers-Souls-Yaoi-Deux-Miyamoto/dp/1934496405/

The url of the amazon page with their product also has the words Yaoi and Deux in it, so other searches for yaoi or Deux manga will also lead one to a place where the product is for sale.

A quick verification over at Google will prove the point: the top 10 results includes (at time of posting) an Amazon page with a Deux manga in it. (The rest are blog posts. Unavoidable; this is still the internet)

This is what we call Search Engine Optimization folks.

(a search just on Yaoi is less illustrative of my point — though perhaps more entertaining in it’s own way — as one has to click through to the 7th page to find the first Amazon sales listing, and given the way Google lumps ‘similar pages’ together in reporting results, that makes a single DMP June title the front for all 984 listings.) (damn. 984.)

Amazon knows which side of the greenback their sales are buttered on: here’s another screenshot from one of those [that is to say, Amazon’s] Yaoi search results:

Each of those is a clickable link (on Amazon — above is just a cropped screen-shot — I’m not set up as an affiliate otherwise I’d be glad to take a commission on all this free advertising I’ve just given Amazon. Damn, and they’re one of my competitors…)

I had no idea Salarymen in hot, elicit after-hours embrace (likely after-drinking, too, at least the first time) was it’s own freakin’ kink. Thank You, Japan, you are always educational.

More Next Week. Promise.

Originally compiled by Matt Blind for the benefit of the Manga Community and posted in the rankings category at RocketBomber.com. Derived from publically available information; if you feel your intellectual property has been infringed upon then I’d advise you to chill, consult your lawyers again, maybe grow a thicker skin, and then also recognise that you’re getting a free, weekly link directly to your manga offerings [right at the top of the post, in case you missed it] on a blog that specifically caters to fans of the medium. Maybe you should be sending me money, or free manga, as opposed to getting your boxers/panties in a bunch over imaginary copyrights.

All data as posted released back into the public domain (be free, little numbers, go frolic and prosper) with merely a humble request that you link rather than steal, and that any derivative works include an attribution and also remain free to all.

Additional information on sources, methodology, bad habits, wastes of time, trivia, what is and isn’t manga, how alcoholism and OCD directly contribute to the compilation of the rankings, the thaumaturgical formulas used in the spreadsheet, answers to readers’ questions (if you ever get around to actually asking me anything) and other similar esoterica can be found in the Charts’ FAQ.

* Note: No Notes :) Two clean weeks of data, straight up. Nice to be back folks; stay tuned.

The nice thing about this feature is how quick I can write up a post, and how it gives the illusion of regular, substantive updates so long as I can find a cover photo or two to add visual bulk to what is, in actual point of fact, just a quick fifteen minute write-up.

Oh, but the gems I can find (not Yaoi Gems; well, not always — though there is in fact a Yaoi Gems Pack, that’s isbn 9781933664392 for the y-curious) and I seem to be casting my net further and further out: out of print, not yet released, smaller publishers, first-time manga publishers…

or established reference publishers coming to manga for the first time:

Found:
The Rough Guide to Manga by Jason Yadeo, coming August 2009. This appears to be Yadeo’s first work, which isn’t an accusation (just a citation, as I can find no previous works and a cursory Google search pulls up “The Rough Guide to Manga” on sales sites for the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, Finland, the Czech Republic… Japan

[*ouch*] I think a rapidly closing recursive loop just strangled a chunk of my brain.

No Cover Pictures Yet. But Rough Guides had previously presented both the Rough Guide to Japan (travel guides are their bread and butter) and the Rough Guide to Graphic Novels.

Not much to say about these, except that they’re out there. I’d like to see Red River or Basara given this treatment, but my guess is Viz will wait and see how successfully these two series perform:
