You may have noticed a few changes around here at YaoiSuki. That's because we've moved to a new host, and in the process upgraded and altered a bunch of our features (most notably: embedded wiki and better forums). Unfortunately, we lost our user database in the move, so those of you who were signed up will unfortunately need to sign up again. It's a pretty painless process though!

It's sad for me to have to make this announcement in the midst of such
exciting times for BL fans-- the number of BL manga in the US just keeps
rising, as does the number of anime adaptations in Japan, and did I
mention ANTIQUE BAKERY ANIME?! --but make it I must.
After much discussion, Jordan and I have decided to suspend our BL
coverage at YaoiSuki indefinitely. Between my new job and apartment, and a
score of complications for Jordan, we simply no longer have the time to
dedicate to our regular news and reviews lineup (a fact no doubt noticed
by many of you).
The site will continue to be here for those who wish to go through our
past reviews, check on some news item that happened, con coverage, forums,
etc. But neither of us will be updating for the foreseeable future.
Will we ever come back? That I don't know. We've loved running this site
for the last two years (we even missed our 2nd birthday this year-- that's
how bad we are now!), and we're sad that we have to set it aside now. So
it's certainly not impossible that we'll be back! But for the time being,
the site will remain silent.
That said, we ourselves will certainly still be around, even if we're not
updating. You can contact me (Jen) at

If you want to keep up on yaoi-related news, I've extracted a promise from
our oft-mentioned friend gia to cover the BL news as much as possible,
both on her current site at giapet.net and at her upcoming site (I *will* make a quick post when that's going). She does a fantastic job with news coverage in general and
I know she follows BL as well, so I'm sure she'll do a boffo job.
I also want to make a quick shout-out to the publishers, especially
Digital Manga Publishing, DramaQueen, Yaoi Press, Central Park Media, Deux
Publishing, Iris Print, Boysenberry, Yen Press, Kitty Media, Blu
Manga...oh wait, that's pretty much all of them, isn't it? Each and every
company embraced us and offered information and review copies and we were
continually (and pleasantly) surprised by their support.
...Well, I guess that's about it, so...thanks for all the good times,
guys. You are the ones who made all the work we've done over the last two
years fun and worthwhile, and we'll miss you. So don't be a stranger, ok?
♥ Jen and Jordan
