Intro to rentaBLog.

Welcome to the official BLog of Renta!’s in-house localization team! It’ will be run by four’s run by two members:

Ames. Likes cats, cafes, and mobile games. Tends to like pretty fictional boys, and fluffy cute stories or stupid ero ones. Current favorite BL mangaka are Shikke, Jimi Fumikawa, Coco Aino, and Hakase. Spends free time co-oping in Genshin, and wandering Tokyo.

Sou. Loves memeing and discovering new series to gush about. Enjoys karaoke, anime, doujinshi, cute animals, and cheese. Prefers BL that warms the heart, tickles the funny bone, and/or assaults the tear ducts. A sucker for sweet semes and spicy ukes.

What is EbookRenta!?
EbookRenta!, or Renta! for short, is the digital manga publishing branch of PAPYLESS GLOBAL. PAPYLESS was one of the first companies in Japan to publish and popularize ebooks. While the Japanese site is oriented toward general audiences, EbookRenta! is specifically marketed to English-speaking manga fans interested in BL, shojo, and mature romance (commonly known as “TL” in Japan)—though there are also other genres available on the site. If you want to know more about Renta!, please check out our about page on our official site.

Why BL?
While we carry a variety of genres on the site, we wanted a space where we can—as fans rather than just employees—recommend and talk about the BL we work on. We also see this is a space to bridge the gap between Japanese and Western BL cultures, introduce people to the process of localization, etc. with BL as the jumping-off point.

What kind of content can we look forward to?
This blog will have a a wide variety of content, from collab cafes, con reports, manga reviews, artist showcases, interviews, explainers on Japanese fujoshi culture, and more. If there’s ever any type of post you’d like to see more of, or something you’d like more info on, feel free to let us know.
