Sponsor Announcement: RightStuf Anime

Ahoy!

FujoCon is committed to supporting the legal anime industry, so we’re so happy to welcome RightStuf aboard the ship as an official sponsor! RightStuf has been a cornerstone of the online anime and manga retail market and is the most reliable way to purchase US-licensed BL anime and manga.

Video Publisher? Or Online Retailer? The Answer Is “Both!” And More…

Right Stuf, Inc. is an independent video publisher that specializes in packaging and distributing pre-recorded programming to English-language audiences – from Japanese animation (anime) to foreign live-action content.

In addition to selling its own publishing division’s products, Right Stuf, Inc. also resells and distributes anime-related and Asian live-action merchandise – including DVDs, Blu-ray discs, books, apparel, artwork, audio CDs and more – on behalf of other North American suppliers.

RightStufAnime.com, the primary online storefront is the largest online anime specialty retailer in the United States and Canada, offering more than 24,000 unique products from across the North American anime industry. It is also a source to which fans turn for official news and product updates.

Fellow fujoshi may remember that Nozomi Entertainment is responsible for bringing several fan-favorite, eternally beloved BL anime series to the North American market: Gravitation, Antique Bakery, and Junjou Romantica. Whether it’s because they were one of the first to make BL legally available or the consistent deals on all our manga, we owe a lot to RightStuf and are so happy they’re coming along for this maiden voyage.

You can look forward to viewing rooms of these classic BL anime and we might just make it a cheer screening ;)

Guest Announcement: WRITER AMY TASUKADA

Ahoy!

FujoCon is excited to announce our first guest, MM romance author Amy Tasukada!

As an only child, Best Selling Author Amy Tasukada began putting her daydreams to paper at the young age of ten. She was inspired by Japanese literature, works from French classic authors like Marcel Proust, as well as tons and tons of yaoi/boys’ love manga. However, there were only so many books that piqued her interest. Fueled by an obvious lack of books she wanted to read, Amy decided to write them herself.

Amy found her niche in the LGBT genre with Japanese influenced gay fiction. Though her works span a wide range -- from gritty mafia thrillers to fluffy, contemporary romance, Amy uses her deadly, but delicate writing style to weave exciting tales of suspense, love, and gore, all under the supervision of her amazing editor (and calico cat), O’Hara.

While crafting her novels, Amy researches each setting extensively to paint the most colorful picture for her readers. She creates each story’s setting in a way that has been described as “crisp and lyrical” by fans.

When she’s not penning a new installment of her mafia series or attending a writing workshop, the North Texas author can be found drinking tea, reading, or filming J-fashion hauls on her YouTube channel.

You can buy Amy’s books from the links below and check out more info about her and The Yakuza Path series on her website.

Setting Sail

Ahoy!

Announcing FujoCon, a BL+ virtual convention setting sail July 11-12.

We’re working hard to get everything ready for the very first launch of FujoCon—how exciting! With the cancelation of so many summer cons, it’s left many of us feeling out of sorts and itching for something fun to do. Thankfully, the suggestion of virtual conventions got our group thinking that not only did we need to go to one, but we needed one that was BL focused! After all, as more and more BL titles become mainstream, we’re seeing a rise in new fans which is awesome. So what better way to come together than through a virtual con filled with panels, art, and cosplay?

As we get closer to opening day, we’ll be making tons of exciting announcements and we hope you’re looking as forward to it as we are. Please stay tuned because we have a lot of great things coming! For now, please check out the site, visit our different social sites, and feel free to contact us with any questions you may.

See you soon!
