NEW YAOI LICENSE: Black Sun Volume 2

Since this is now listed on Amazon, I can finally tell you that DMP has finalized their licensing on Black Sun Volume 2! Amazon has it listed for release on December 6th. Here is the synopsis given for volume 2:

"As the former Crusader commander Lord Francis and the king continue their manipulations of both Leonard and General Jan, it is quite apparent that they intend to drive the two lovers apart. But why is that? Is Leonard really just a plaything for General Jan as the spoils of war? Or will General Jan continue to defy convention and risk everything by disobeying his king in order to claim the heart and body of the knight he conquered in battle?"

This is one of my all time favorites so I am very excited that Uki Ogasawara have finally released volume two in Japan. I'm also very happy that we will only be waiting a little over five months to see it in English! Thank you DMP! If you are unfamiliar with this title, here is my review of volume one way back in January of 2009.

Prince Leonard de Limbourg has temporarily been placed in charge of the Gerun Fortress during which time he and his 200 Monastic Knights are attacked by the General Jamal Jan and his 20,000 soldiers. Not exactly a fair fight and one that spells disaster for our poor Prince. Prince Leonard can see defeat on the horizon and decides to surrender himself and the fortress to General Jamal in return for his soldiers’ safe escape. The remainder of the story tells of Prince Leonard’s imprisonment by General Jamal, his life as his sex toy and the budding relationship that causes Leonard to face some difficult choices.
