RightStuf has a listing for a new yaoi manga being published, tentatively, May 27, 2009 by Kitty Media: You Higashino’s Shihaisuru Yubisaki (and/or possibly its sequel one-shot, Kogareru Yubisaki).
“Dreamy neurosurgeon Tsuda is in a passionate relationship with fellow doctor Shiraishi. But when a steamy new patient shows up and wants to play doctor with Shiraishi, their love is put to the test!”
The translated name? Gay’s Anatomy. Oh Kitty Media, you’ve been having fun with your translated names recently haven’t you?
On a semi-unrelated note, Mangachat left a comment on my recent post regarding some CMX possible licenses, to point me at The Lizard Prince by Asuka Izumi, another CMX listed title that’s recently surfaced on the online retail website.
Not that I can complain about more manga but does anyone miss the days when manga acquistions were more exciting? Or should I say announced before discovered atleast.

Clearly Kitty thinks that HOUSE slasher will love this exciting new acquisition….
x__x <– is dead.
@Tina: With all the medical-dramas out there, I doubt they're clearly aiming for any one fanbase with this little pop culture name referrence xP Personally I've seen more Gray's Anatomy slash than House, despite having never watched the first. No complaints there! House yaoi, no thanks xD
I'm curious. Has Kitty announced whether or not both You Higashino’s Shihaisuru Yubisaki and/or its sequel Kogareru Yubisaki been licensed.
If you look at the images for the titles certainly Kogareru Yubisaki has been licensed.

The Baka-Updates Manga pages has listed Kogareru Yubisaki under its licensed titles.
At the time I wrote this news post, RightStuf didn't have an image for the cover posted yet. Looking at it now though, it does certainly seem to be the case that they've licensed Kogareru Yubisaki instead of Shihaisuru Yubisaki. I suppose they must have faith that the story doesn't require readers to have read the prequel.
