Just fyi, unfortunately Peach Flowers House seems to be closing https://www.peachflowerhouse.com/closing
Damn. Thank you for letting me know.
They'd gotten so quiet this year that I'll own I had concerns but it's still a bummer to see those concerns are justified.
I just visited their webpage. Print books are 30% off and they're taking orders through November 30th (discontinuing outside the US shipping on the 15th). Ebooks will be on sale through the 15th.
I'm gonna grab a copy of University of the Underworld (ebook only), as it's their only danmei title I don't already own.
They have published in print editions:
Little Mushroom
Golden Stage
The Imperial Uncle
Peach Blossom Debt
In the Dark
I have read their translations of all of these and they're all solidly translated, decently edited, and excellent books. I honestly can't pick a favorite, they're all great in different ways. Little Mushroom is incredible, and I think everyone who likes spec fic should read it. The Imperial Uncle was delightful. If you like Modu and/or Poyun you'll almost certainly also enjoy In the Dark. Golden Stage I like so much I bought it even though I'd already read the fantranslation. It looks like at least some print titles are sold out; it's worth grabbing the ebooks if the print aren't available anymore.
It's depressing to know that if all the people I know who've said they want to or plan to read these books had actually gotten them, maybe they wouldn't be closing (but maybe they would, sales might not be the problem, idk). Regardless, you've got 2 weeks to a month left to buy them depending where you are in the world. Don't miss out, they're all great in their own ways.
If anyone outside the US wants me to play danmei mule and ship stuff forward lemme know, I can try to help.
#unforth rambles#peach flower house#danmei#little mushroom#golden stage#da feng gua guo#in case anyone has wondered why im so diligent about buying anything i can get my hands on from small presses#its because i was here when manga was first getting popular#a lot of those early publishers folded and when they did their titles became unobtainable#i didnt get things i wanted then#i will not make that mistake again#if i can possible afford a book i will get it rather than risk exactly this
