Diamond to distribute Yaoi Generation manga

Posted on January 7, 2009 by Brigid Alverson

In a brief press release, new publisher Yaoi Generation announces that their books will be distributed by Diamond, which is the distributor that pretty much has a monopoly on the comics-shop market. This means that YG titles will be available in comics stores, which actually move a lot of yaoi manga.
