Licensing fees may have fallen to more agreeble levels. Certain companies may even be ready to overlook another's past transgressions. If BeBeautiful is looking for an opening to re-enter the market, now might be a good time. Re: BeBeautiful

Their stuff is still available through retailers, and hasn't appeared to be dumped, so I guess this is another attempt at restarting part of the business- though they had previously solicited several regular manga titles, shipped a handful, then disappeared again........

During some forum-trolling a little while ago, people were all a bustle over recieving BeBeautiful stuff and hearing they'd be starting con appearances within the year. Could've sworn I made a post about it but seems not! I'll have to trace my steps to find it again, for whatever confirmation it's worth, but in the meantime, they atleast remain supporters of Yaoi Con and Yaoi Jamboree. Not sure how much support they'd be supplying at this point however... Should've been more specific, I actually meant a recent past convention.
