While our April Fools Day joke that Tokyopop would no longer be releasing Loveless in English was totally fake, the truth is a lot more shocking than you may believe. On December 31, 2007, Geneon Entertainment, Inc closed its doors forever. Geneon was one of the biggest publishers of anime in the United States. Titles released by Geneon included Dragon Ball Z, Trigun, and Hellsing. Why did this happen? How did one of the leaders in bringing anime to the United States fall on such hard times? What caused this? Fansubbing/scanlation groups. Such groups are a double-edged sword in the anime community. Sure, they sub anime fresh from Japan so that others can see it, but, at the same time, also whittle away money from the official distributors of a property in the US, Japan, the UK, and anywhere else a "fan" lives. Sure, quite a few of us were first exposed to Loveless via scanlations or fansubs, but, how many of us went and bought the manga or the DVDs when it was commercially available in our country? Huh? How many of us? While some of us did the right thing by supporting the author and the official translators, the vast majority failed to live up to the duty to PAY FOR SOMETHING THEY ENJOY. There's an unspoken rule among fansubbers/scanlators that once a property is licensed for release in their native langauge, all scanlating ceases. The Loveless manga was licensed for the US by Tokyopop in September 2005, the anime was licensed by Media Blasters in November of the same year. Quite a number of groups, time and again, to laugh at this convention. If not directly, then through their actions. To this date, they still scanlate Loveless, Naruto, and who knows how many other anime/manga. Even before the anime or manga was licensed, this is, and was, a violation of international copyright law. Even if such groups are making no money from hosting or scanlating, they are still taking money away from TokyoPop, Viz, and every other anime/manga publisher. It's not fair use. It's not in the public domain, and it's not "promoting" either property, I mean, if you can get the milk for free, why buy the cow? In turn, just because you "make no money" from it, does not mean that no one owns the right to make money on the property. It's not fair use because that only applies to a small percentage of the property in question (like using quotes to emphasize a point in a book review). And while it is "promoting" the property in question, it's not doing it in a way that would encourage others to spend their money on it. Again, we return to the Geneon story. Quite a few series went without finished volumes and are now rare and hard to find. Oh sure, you can find them on eBay, but for quite a bit more money than they'd be worth if they weren't rare now. Don't let Loveless end this way. Support Tokyopop and Yun Kouga. Buy Loveless.

Finally got the forums back up and running, what happened was we allowed someone we thought we could trust access and again they wiped the site. Fortunatly I had a backup from the same day the site was attacked, I just had to change a few things before bringing the forum back up. It's now up and running again, yay! Sorry for the wait, and I hope you will come back to the community and join in the Loveless debates! Unfortunatly this attack means we have no choice but to close staff applications indenfinatly, we allow people we have never even met access to everyone whom has worked hard on the site's contributions, and this happens. It saddens me that there are people out there whom will go to great lengths to deface the site in the name of one other website which we just want peace with. Thank you all for your patience ^^

It's not even Aprils yet someone has gone to great lengthes to make a fool out of me and my website. I wonder if they got a good laugh from it? Did it make their month that whole more enjoable for being able to cause someone grief during a difficult time? I hope you feel big about yourself. My hosting will NOT be terminated, In fact i just got off the phone talking to them and they have no record or recollection of this email at all and that when read to them they emphasised that it is not the format in which they would send an email in the first place and I had done nothing further wrong. Regardless of that I went ahead and had a panic attack, got sent home from work due to illness and being told by a Nurse to not go back to work until I've seen a Doctor about my combination of Exhaustion, Flu and depression. Excuse myself whilst I go emo. Or is that what the spoofer expected? I am going to share the email with you as you all need to be wary in case they decide that you're life isn't bad as theirs and needs to be made as such. I have somne speculations as to the sender, along with a few other trusted friends whom also pointed out their suspiscions of whom it may be as the email contained detailed information about my site directories, which would not be show to anyone other than myself or a hacker. I will not voice whom it may be as I have no proof, but I shall also not support it as I'd be giving that person too much credit as I never in my life thought them capable of doing something of this level that requires intelligence. Sorry for any grief this has caused fans, I did not want to disrupt your enjoyment of Yurusu. As Spock says "Live long and Prosper" ~ Star Trek Spoof Image Here Also we are looking to obtain another license for our forums so if you'd like to donate any spare change towards the cost that would be greatly appreciated. Any money left over will be donated to a charity of the staff's choice. Thank you!

Even if we are now able to preorder Volume 8 at Amazon we actually don't know how the cover will look like, because there isn't a preview at Amazon or Yun Kouga's official website until this day. Nevertheless Comic Toranoana, a shop where you can buy manga related items, released the cover of the limited edition a few days ago.  > click to read the Volume 8 main topic

24 hours and Yurusu is gone. I could move it but why bother? I will be chased by haters, hackers and law suits wherever I go. I can't stand it anymore, I used to be able to fight so hard but now I can't. When the site is gone, its gone. I've done what I can and tried but its not enough, so now its time to say "Thats it". Thank you to everyone whom has supported and followed us through the past few years. It was nothing before you amazing people came along, the Fans. Thank you. Time for obligatory Emo song to fit in with the situation. Linkin Park - In The End. It starts with) One thing / I don?t know why It doesn?t even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme To explain in due time All I know time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day The clock ticks life away It?s so unreal Didn?t look out below Watch the time go right out the window Trying to hold on / but didn?t even know Wasted it all just to Watch you go I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn't even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn't even matter One thing / I don?t know why It doesn?t even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme To remind myself how I tried so hard In spite of the way you were mocking me Acting like I was part of your property Remembering all the times you fought with me I?m surprised it got so (far) Things aren?t the way they were before You wouldn?t even recognize me anymore Not that you knew me back then But it all comes back to me In the end You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn?t even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn?t even matter I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this There?s only one thing you should know I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this There?s only one thing you should know I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn?t even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn?t even matter

Greetings.
I do not know if you've met me before, but, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Variable Rush, of course, that's just my "nom de Internet," you can call me Brad. As you can see from the title of this message, Yurusu has a new Administrator, me. I've talked to a few people to get their feedback regarding this change from Enishi to me. I've been met with acceptance by most, while a small minority threatened to leave forever. Enishi is still around, however she has basically delegated herself to more of a figurehead role, she's like the queen of England. I'm the prime minister. While I may not be able to please everyone, I pledge to do my best. While I am not at liberty to explain any policy to be enacted, I do plan on giving diplomacy a try regarding particular matters that still need to be resolved. I thank you for your patronage as we look forward to a bountiful year for Loveless and Yurusu.

I hope you all had a wonderful 2007 and didn't get to drunk/tipsy during the celebrations! ^^; I'm hoping 2008 will be the best year ever for loveless, and that we will have more content and downloads than before! If you have something that you'd like to see on Yurusu then contact us and tell us what you think, your ideas and any changes you'd like to see happening. This website has always revolved around a community and its your input and feedback that keeps us going! Some of you have been asking about the Scanlations, I took them down for a while because I felt it wasn't what you people wanted and really would like to encourage everyone to use the scans as previews and to buy the manga itself, so I'm going to post a poll on here and I'd like you to vote on wether or not we should bring the scanlations back, its up to you! Have a nice January =^_^=

Ichijinsha has announced that volume eight will be released on 2007/2/25.
It's unknown how the cover will look like, but the advertising site suggests it. If you would like to buy volume eight in Japanese you can order it in advance on Amazon.co.jp (They ships international!). The release dates for countries aside from Japan are currently unkown, but we will inform you as soon as possible. (of course ^_~)

First off, thank you to everyone whom wished me a Happy Birthday, I really did enjoy myself regardless of turning 23 x.x; Had a wonderful day with family and friends, a great meal oh and some very nice gifts. Now, I'd like to apologise to those whom haven't recieved an reply from me regarding Staff Applications, I recently had a new Motherboard, power supply, ram and Graphics card put in and my new Motherboard didn't like my Sata drive so I had to wipe it -- including the emails D: so I'm really sorry but if you're still interested please resend your applications, we are still in need of New Reporters, Section Writers and Media Workers, if you are interested and could spare a few hours a week on the site that would be wonderful, just use the Contact Form. Also, thank you to everyone whom sent in their questions, idea's and Cosplay pictures! We love getting all those so please keep sending them our way! And finally, for those whom haven't been around the past month or so, we will no longer be hosted scanlations by Shoku-dan, which means we will only have the ones we have now, Japanese originals which were scanned by myself or scanlations by another group or person willing for us to host it, so yes there is only Volume 7 at the moment, as for the downloads on server 2 not working thats because when a certain someone deleted the site the files along with it got deleted so they may not work, bare with me whilst I try and rectify this. Hope you have a nice December!

Since I'm off work Ill at the moment from Flu, which was the end result of stress between this website and another, not having heating at all for the past few weeks whilst we had a new boiler installed and lack of sleep from the bloody workman hammering away at 8am everyday, and since I work nights it was not fun. So, I decided to add a few new things and work on the site a little. So please excuse a few things disappearing, changing or going wrong over the next few days its because I'm working on the site. A few things, I noticed the contact page came up with that bloody index page from a few weeks back, also removed some emails from the pages and replaced it with the contact form. Edited a few files to make it a little more efficient all around. You may have noticed the news has changed, its easier to manage and will encourage everyone to join the community and have fun! A new competition will be out soon, hush hush on all that. You will have to wait and see ;) Also if you have any contributions to the website, ie: Wallpapers, Icons, Fanart, Fanfic, Cosplay images etc then please send them in, either reply to this post or use the Contact Us form All contributions are greatly recieved have a nice week

Every year the UK invites everyone to get involved with Children in Need. A Charity which for years has asked for nothing but donations and support from the public, each penny pledged and donated goes towards helping thousands of disadvantaged children. Providing them, help support and hope. It was charities like Children in Need that helped save my life, they paid for the equipment in the hospital that I was sent to the night I was born, the nebulisers that were in the ward I was on was from the money raised by similar charities such as Children in Need. Without that machine, I would have most certainly have died and not be here today, so each year I pledge money to them in a small notion of gratitude. Also, my Granddad whom passed away in 1991 left in his will, ?1,000 to the ward in which I was saved in, it was to go towards new nebulisers, but instead they asked for baby alarm monitors that the mothers took home with them to help monitor babies with breathing difficulties. I know a lot of charities ask for donations every year and myself have adpoted an Tiger through the World Wildlife Fund, where my donations go towards protecting the Tigers of India by funding wardens to watch over the animals and safe havens for the Tigers. We can all do a little and it will be worth so much to everyone in the end, and all I'm asking for is pledging/Donating some of your pocket money or a few pounds to this worthy cause, please help save the lives of children and give them a future. Yurusu has promised to pledge ?30 to Children in Need. If you are interested in donating, click Here Now, thank you. ^^ Children in Need Appeal is Live on 17th Nov 07 on the BBC channel 1, from 7pm. |
