Media New, official, subscription-only shoujosei platform

Post image

About to start a new, subscription-only platform for shoujosei with no additional purchases (except custom tipping, which is completely optional), and I intend to keep it subscription-only.

I'm starting very very small with a handful of series since the licensing fee per title was much, much more than I had initially anticipated, and this is without considering the translation and editing costs.

Should this little venture turn out to be successful, I'd love to license more and more series, especially shoujosei isekai manga, since those don't get the love they deserve.

Will keep you guys updated. Wish me luck!

How are you doing the translations? Humans or MTL?

Humans 😭 that's such a wild thing to ask, why would I use MTL for official releases, the entire pipeline is handled by humans

Many CEOs' brain would melt reading this comment

Those CEOs are in for the money, not for the art. How could anyone with actual love for the art taint it with AI?
