And the winner of the Juné Manga Giveaway is…Muteee!
As the winner, Muteee will be receiving a copy of Flutter by Momoko Tenzen as published by Juné, one of Digital Manga’s boys’ love and yaoi imprints. Because it was June and the wordplay amused me, I decided to hold a Juné giveaway, asking those who were participating to tell me a little about their favorite Juné manga (if they had one). After ten years of publishing and over four hundred volumes of manga and novels, there are quite a few Juné titles to choose from. Because I enjoy making lists, I’ve gathered everyone’s responses (and added a few additional favorites of my own) below. Check out the giveaway comments if you want all the details, though!

Thank you to everyone who shared their favorites with me. There are a few manga on the above list that I actually haven’t yet read that I’ll need to track down now. Hope to see you all again for the next giveaway!
I’m surprised that no-one mentioned the Finder series; I thought that was super-popular. Personally I can never pick just one favorite of anything; it’s like “I like this but I also like that, how do I choooose??” Several of my favorites are on the list, but I’d also put in a bid for No-One Loves Me by Yugi Yamada, Only Serious About You by Kai Asou and About Love by Narise Konohara and Tomo Ootake.
I know! Picking favorites is so haaaaaard!
I actually almost added No One Loves Me to the list; I’m pretty sure it’s my favorite Yugi Yamada manga. Or at least one of them. About Love is wonderful, too.
Now that you mention it, it is a little surprising that Finder didn’t get any votes. There was a ton of excitement when it was licensed. Granted, this was a very small sample of readers. The title that was mentioned most frequently was The Tyrant Falls in Love.
