New York Minute started out with 2 concepts. The second one was chosen for the ‘intimate’ feel and the fit it had with the title. Again, lack of time was a factor for this cover.

NYM’s shipped - on the plane on its way to Fanime at time of this post. A final reminder that the pre-order for NYM, Q book and ITW1 Manga ends tonight (May 22, midnight PST). Any orders placed after this time will only receive the extra goods per availability (from the convention).
See you soon!!!

Our pre-sale, contributor copies of our first manga premier as G|P came in! The matte cover’s gorgeous. The interior printing’s also great and captured the subtle shading perfectly! Thank you for your hard work, DMI/801-san!!
Can’t wait for all of you to have this in your hands come end of this month! You can pre-order them to have a couple of give-aways and get them signed by both TogaQ and Neko until 22 May. Take a look at the entry below or visit our Shoppe to get your copy!
