Due to the events that transpired on Thursday, March 15th we were prepared for the worst. But thanks to the massive outpouring of fan support protesting Kindle’s illogical censorship policies and flimsy guidelines, Digital Manga’s Kindle account was restored in record time. We had expected an uphill battle, but manga fans and advocates of equal rights made their voices heard and Amazon realized how loud you all can be. This morning, we received this email:
Hello [DMP],
Thank you for your email concerning the status of your account.
After reviewing your response, we have reinstated your account and we will once again accept your books for possible publication.
Please be advised that all of your submissions must comply with our Content Guidelines for publishing in the Kindle Store and that your future submissions may be subject to additional review prior to being published. This may result in a delay in publishing.
If any future submissions fail to comply with our Content Guidelines, your account may be terminated.

Again, we extend our biggest, most heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped raise awareness of the issue and to everyone who spoke out against Amazon.
Don’t miss a single digital release! Check out what we have on Nook, Kindle, and eManga this week!
You might notice that there aren’t as many Kindle links this week - unfortunately, we’ve run into a couple censorship issues with Kindle that we’re currently working to resolve. If you can’t wait to grab a title, Nook has a free desktop reader application that you can download to read manga there!
Kikuko Kikyua’s BL Secret Thorns (Himitsu no Toge) and Risa Motoyama’s Start With a Happy Ending have been licensed for print release! Secret Thorns will also be published digitally. Look out for those books, along with Honey*Smile, in bookstores this fall!
