10th Anniversary!

This year, it’s the 10th annual Manga Magie Contest. Entries can be handed in until August 31th, the prize giving ceremony is scheduled for October 29th.

Some winners of past Manga Magie contest made it to the major publishing houses. Did you know that 2008’s contest winner Nana Kyere is currently creating her Manga “Patina” for New Ground Publishing / Droemer Knaur? In 2003, Reyhan Yildirim (“Tylsim”, Tokyopop) became 2nd. In 2002, Detta Zimmermann (“Iscel”, Tokyopop, “Tarito Fairytale”, Carlsen) became 3rd. But the most famous winner of Manga Magie is definitely Judith Park (“Dystopia”, “Ysquare”, “Luxus”, Carlsen), who won the first edition of Manga Magie in 2002.

    Original German language Boys Love titles

    Ever since the big publishing houses have started publishing original German language Boys Love titles, some people have been complaining about a tsunami of German Boys Love productions (and Boys Love in general) flooding the market. Which inspired me to list them.

    This list attempts to contain all titles published (or announced to be published in 2011) in paperback and anthologies (or volumes of anthologies) dealing with Boys Love topics. I include (and asterisk) books created by artists from a non-German speaking country if they were first published in a German speaking country.

    Carlsen Manga

    • Chouchin, 1 volume, by Tina Lindhorst (2009)
    • Killing Iago, 3 volumes, by Zofia Garden (2009 - 2011)

    • Mein untotes Herz, 1 volume, by Rebecca Jeltsch and Anne Delseit (09/2011)

    • Lime Law, 2 volumes, Anthology (2006 - 2007)

    Cursed Side
    (The Wild Side / Cursed Publishings, Independent Boys Love Publisher)

    • Be mine, 1 volume, by Aisu and sky_fish (07/2011)
    • Japan Dreams, 1 volume, Anthology (2009)

    • Hungry Hearts #5, 1 volume, Anthology (2010)

    KnaurTB (New Ground Publishing)

    • Guns and Swords, 1 volume, by Nina Nowacki (2011)

    I am not done listing all published Germanga yet, but I’m currently at a number of 140 titles (I counted each series as 1 title) that have been publishend between 2001-2011 (or announced to be published in 2011 - happy 10th anniversary, or did I miss someone who was published earlier?). So, currently, it is 23 Boys Love titles (/ series) out of a total of +140 Germanga titles (/ series).

    Missing something? Please comment or send me a note! This is meant to be as complete as possible. :)

    edit:
    2011-02-03: added year of publication & Apokryphum (thanks, Menolly!)

    DOMICILE @ TOKYOPOP Germany ! DOMICILE 2 ~ COMING SOON!

    ”
    —According to a statement of Robert Labs on his deviantart profile (which was quotet at the Comics in Leipzig-board), Domicile #2 has not been canceled and will be released “soon”. The release of Domicile had been postponed until further notice due to communication issues between Labs and Tokyopop. As the problem seems to be solved, let’s look forward to a new release date!

    AnimaniA Award 2011

    • A Kiss from the Dark by Michael Waaler & Nadine Büttner (Carlsen)
    • Dark Magic by Alexandra Völker (Egmont Manga & Anime)

    • Ein Lied für Elise by Natalia Batista (Tokyopop)*
    • Ninja - Hinter den Schatten by Baron Malte & Miyuki Tsuji (Carlsen)
    • Snow Flake by Christina Bäumerich (Egmont Manga & Anime)

    The titles were nominated by each of the participating publishers. The winner is not chosen by a Jury but through a postal audience voting. Ballots are included in the current AnimaniA issue, and will later be available at the AnimaniA booth at the Leipzig Bookfair and at the AnimaniA website. The winner will be announced at the AnimagiC 2011 festival, July 30th - August 1st in Bonn.

    * note that Batista is from Sweden, so it’s not a Manga drawn by a German speaking artist but a Manga first released in Germany.
