YAOI GENERATION DEBUTS WITH A 5-VOLUME TITLE
Fremont, CA – (September 27, 2008) YAOI GENERATION, a new publisher joining the
boys’ love community, debuts this weekend at Yaoi-con by announcing the licensing of
its first title, breath, from Kaiohsha Publishing Co., Ltd.
breath, by Chifumi Ochi, is a five-volume love story between a socially awkward
businessman and a confident, attractive college student. Brought together by too much
alcohol and a series of misunderstandings, these two opposites face difficult trials while
learning just how much they need each other.
“I am really excited to be able to bring this Japanese series to English readers. Personally,
it’s one of my favorites. It’s so well written and just the right length to allow readers to
truly understand the characters and to fall in love with them just as they fall in love with
each other,” said Thuy Duong, president of Yaoi Generation.
The Fremont, CA-based company is planning to release the first volume this December
and plans to make pre-orders available on its Web site in November. More details are
available at Yaoi Generation’s Web site, www.yaoigeneration.com .
