Honest, intelligent news and reviews for manga romantics
Let’s see what we’ve got this week in news. Let’s start with the bad news:
Artmove, the developer of otome games under the brand Quinrose, has suspended its business due to low sales. They just released a game and are no longer selling that game either. This is sad news and comes on the heels of another Japanese business filing bankruptcy. Let’s hope that’s the last of the bad news!
