Painted

Anyway I've started writing fic again, at least for now, and I'm going to try to focus more on things like that. So if you want to find me somewhere less....like here.... bsky.app/profile/painte…

i feel so disheartened and powerless. AI is a fucking disease. i don’t want 2000 books a year if the quality is shit. do they think we’re buying books just to make them collect dust on the shelf and look pretty

this whole situation is honestly so dejecting for those of us constantly rallying for eng license, only to find out that one of the biggest english publishers has been acquired by a company that is pro-AI. if AI ends up being used, I won't be supporting your releases anymore.

@gomanga Thanks for the responses. You'll need to make a much bigger announcement about that for the probably thousands of people who preordered the Special Edition and will have no idea that edition no longer exists. Not all retailers auto-cancel with notifications.

@paintedrecs Pre-orders for the SE should cancel automatically, but we do recommend double-checking with the retailer.

RELEASE UPDATE — LITTLE MUSHROOM (DELUXE HARDCOVER NOVEL): The fan-favorite #danmei (Boys' Love/#BL) series will be released as stunning hardcovers featuring an all-new translation and a bonus color art gallery! More details soon. Pre-order now: sevenseasentertainment.com/books/little-m…

@gomanga Does that mean we have to cancel our existing preorders of the Special Edition then? That's pretty confusing.

@paintedrecs Hi there! We have changed the entirety of this release and will be doing Deluxe Hardcovers rather than regular paperback or a Special Edition. Both volumes will be in hardback with extra art.

@SuBLimeManga @Honeyofstars I came here looking for this too...is the next Candy Color Paradox volume not getting licensed?

@Honeyofstars No, bestie 🥲

@yiggybean Any new status updates for the Little Mushroom manhua? Just wondering if they've hit further delays in customs

@ivantillzine Have the half bundles been shipping yet? And are tracking numbers being sent when they do? The last update I see is for the book bundles being complete

🖤SHIPPING SCHEDULE🤍 Hello everyone! As our shipping mod finishes packing, we will begin with shipping out orders! These are our expected ship out dates. Book only bundles will begin shipping out this week! Thank you everyone for your patience and we will keep everyone updated!

@yiggybean If you're able to offer POs for the complete box, I'd be very interested in you as a goodsmile alternative!

Officially coming to Yiggybean in 2026 🥰

@ivantillzine @sashstarry @sir_gguk @nukumorri any updates on shipping?

🤍 PRODUCTION UPDATE🤍 Our zines have been produced and they look so, so good. We are in the process of having them shipped to our shipping mod!

@diabellquartz @ivantillzine Have you gotten a response yet?

@ivantillzine Hi, I sent you a message. Please check it when you have the time

@ivantillzine @nukumorri Hi, are these shipping yet? The last update said mid- to late July so I was checking in for a new status

You can also send questions directly to our Production Mod @nukumorri if you'd like so that she can answer things directly and more quickly.

Hi everyone, sorry for the lack of updates. We've had some issues with our production which is causing some delay. Please refer below to a summary of production thus far:

@kitten_ruby @elong8994 @_anillani_ I've been waiting for the physical release of Even So, I Will Love You Tenderly since like...February of last year and the PO just got cancelled again. I don't think they're doing physical releases anymore but also aren't informing anyone about it...

@elong8994 @_anillani_ 2. Are renewing licenses or such. (I don't know how that works. Just what's been said.) So they aren't out of business yet but at this point if the company was just the team working on the localization and wearing many hats I wouldn't be surprised.

Hey @junemanga do you actually exist as a publisher anymore? You haven't been giving ANY updates or showing any indication of any activity? And now my preorder of Even So, I Will Love You Tenderly got cancelled again because you missed its release date?

@junemanga What is going on with your release of Even So, I Will Love You Tenderly? Are any of your titles actually going to print at this point?

@LinnsManga @GholiHav @courtbanashi i LOVED depth of field and am so upset that they're the one that got its license, because there seems no hope of ever getting the next volume...

@GholiHav @courtbanashi I loved Depth of Field and I’m so sad that I’ll probably never be able to finish it. I have no hope for this publisher to print anything anymore.

Any word on V8…………..

@yiggybean Is Even So, I Will Love You Tenderly actually releasing in July? B&N is showing it on backorder until October, with yet another delayed release date...

We have a HEFTY list of new releases this July 😅 It's a hell of a month for new releases and sequels! Get your pre-order bonuses before it's too late ✨ yiggybean.com/collections/ju…

@BN_care Hey, your site is down - trying to buy during your preorder sale, do you have an ETA for it being fixed?

To our community.

@kumapub My preorder for this book has now been cancelled. Is it still coming out in print??
