Good evening!

Something a little different tonight: we've teamed up with the extremely pleasant folks at Must Be Endless to bring you the second part of Hideyoshico's untitled, irregular pretty guy x delinquent guy story (the first being "High School Lullaby" which Must Be Endless took care of themselves, quite a while ago now). This story might well be on its way to a tankobon, in the fullness of time — this chapter here appeared in the "Joshi BL" anthology, which was published about eight months(?) ago, and a third instalment appeared more recently in the "Kuzu BL" anthology which came out circa this February — three chapters is of course (at least) halfway to a full volume, and we collectively wouldn't be surprised if this story got dragged out accordingly, in the manner of Stalker-kun. And we'll be continuing to work with our new friends to bring you the remaining parts as they appear! But that's all in the future -- now is the present and we, uh, present to you this, uh, present of a new release:

Shoujo C [this story, part II]

[aight you're too late now, sorry]

Now, this release is different from everything else we've officially released hitherto in that it's, of course, content published by that most lamentably litigious licensor — Libre. We've received differing opinions about how currently valid our long-standing fear of this frightening organisation actually is, but suffice to say that we've decided we'd rather be more paranoid than less paranoid, in this instance: we've built ourselves a nice little house here over the years we've been in operation and we don't want anybody barging in and knocking over all the things on the mantelpiece, so to speak. So on the advice of our solicitors we've decided to betray all the principles this group was founded on for just this one particular title — the links above will stay up until the end of April, after which they'll be taken down. Of course by this time the release will be on your favourite manga reading site and you can access it thereby.*

Acmedan was prompted into existence by, basically, a bunch of people kvetching about the complicated practices of certain groups which were around in those days, so please rest assured that taking a step like this annoys us as much as it might annoy some of you — but we hope people inclined to take that position can approach this with a certain generosity of spirit and see that this is a unique case which, unfortunately, may require certain unique steps to be taken. We're almost certainly getting too cautious in our old age, but still, better safe than sorry, perhaps. Anyway we bless this release and all who read this release with the antient magickal symbol for protection against cease-and-desist emails:

And on the subject of things which might invite legal action, we're pleased to announce our donation drive for this quarter is now open!! We're aiming for a goal of 1,000,000,000 US dollars so we can buy all the uh, essential supplies we need. To help ease the administrative load of our extremely over-worked and under-paid secretaries we would kindly ask that nobody make donations of under $250,000. Thank you all very much <3

And that draws this grotesquely overlong post to a conclusion -- hope we can see you all again soon~!

PS MBE are handling all re-translation permissions etc. for this, so please direct any enquiries in that area to them rather than to ourselves.

*We'd never encourage people to email us and ask for the link once it disappears, of course~
