If there’s something more fun than reveling in what boys’ love is available now, it’s looking forward to what’s available in the future! Media Blasters – more specifically their imprint Kitty Media – has officially confirmed its March releases, and with a company so short on online resources for publicizing their books (not keen on the Flash-only website interface, MB), I can at least make the information available here. Both titles have also been added to the release schedule. Enjoy!

I've been whining about Media Blasters' site for AGES and it hasn't changed…almost literally, it's barely even updated. ;) Seriously, even a text-only listing of their stuff would be more useful. *sigh*
Agreed. A simple basic-HTML website isn't exactly time-consuming and I think it'd be a huge help for them. It's amazing how many avid boys' love buyers (as a share of their target audience) don't even know they exist, though it's little mystery when retail sites prove the only consistent sign of their licenses I suppose…
Just going to their web site makes me want to cry, esp. with the them note releasing books remotely close the retailers listed release dates. Nothing fancy just something that is updated with the latest news and release announcements at least once a month would be nice.
