Deux Press gives me something to already look forward to for the new year. There are already several yaoi manga releases set for the first part of 2009, and that makes me one happy camper. One of the titles to make mention of is the release of 2002-2003 Secret Connection series by famed shota artist CJ Michalski, which has been renamed Noodle Shop Affair. They revolve around a very secretive romance between a yakuza thug and his favorite ramen shop waiter. This series will be dropping sometime in February.

Other books coming will be Take Me to Heaven by Nase Yamato in January, Love Round!! by Hinako Takanaga in Feburary, Naughty But Nice by Naduki Koujima and Future Lovers: Volume 2 by Saika Kunieda releasing in March. I'm definitely excited to see all of these get release dates, as I'm always for seeing more yaoi manga released in the States. I now know where my Christmas money's going!
