The key thing? They called for help. Most other authors to my awareness did not really do so and suffered in sale silence. This one was both due to the scanlators making people aware of it, alongside Yuri fans being tired of stories gettung axed constantly while feeling helpless to stop it. Hence, why this was the perfect storm for Love Bullet.
I hope this encourages them to start telling their audiences going forward. The author here did something smart and brave. They deserve the support they’ve received. It was so strong I’ve seen signs informing of it being sold out in stores, increasing awareness for the series as well.
This, most people outside of japan, even in japan probably, but outside especially dont know if an author is struggling, and they only find out when they announce it was axed, sometimes they dont even know that. But when they call for help, even people who read fan translations, can decide they care, and they dont want it to end.
I've been following Love Bullet since it started getting translated and I've really liked it so far, so I was glad to hear that fans were able to rally around it. At the same time, I'm also pretty annoyed by the publisher. From the sound of it, they set pretty unreasonable standards for avoiding cancellation (after international fans started rallying, it turned out that selling out the online stores wasn't enough and the publisher also required that the stock they held in reserve also sell out). At the same time, the publisher did nothing to help promote the series, not even retweeting the author's own efforts on their official twitter. Obviously, the series continuing is the best outcome, but I really wish there was some way for the current publisher to not reap the reward from it.
I'm really curious on what kinds of love the series will handle. Like, what would happen if the target fell in love with an aroace person? Or can an aroace person ever become a cupid?
I was actually thinking a lot about that aroace cupid concept tbh. I think it could be factible if they are pure romantics who just enjoy seeing it but not experiencing it, perhaps, maybe they felt pressured to fall in love because of friendships or family and really never knew they were aroace on the first place.
i lowkey cried when reading it the only other manga (i only read yuri) that made me cry was The Summer You Were There and god, love bullet really just hits you in the gut with an emotion bomb.. its an awesom manga i even told my friend who mostly only reads yaoi to read love bullet cuz it just it really just hits you with the feels the yuri nation is strong together !!!
i love love bullet so much, because a lot of people don’t realize that the cupids are aroace. even if only cupids caused love, koharu is literally cupioromantic; e.g., “i wanted to fall in love after all.” it was great representation for me, as an aroace himejoshi
@@leavemealone802 i mean, cupids would never have experienced love in their human lives to become reincarnated as a cupid, so it’s not like it’s this magic change from nowhere
@@find_chideva how accurate is this? The bullets make the cupids want to fall in love. Is this typical for aroace ppl? Do they want to fall in love? While I do think that some of them could be aroace or at least aro, some of them never lived long enough to fall in love. Some just never found the right person. At the very least, it seems like a lot of them are ace.
@@ma.2089 that is a part of the aroace spectrum known as cupioromanticsm! it’s when someone is physically incapable of experiencing romantic love, but they yearn for it and romanticize it (literally). although some of the cupids will probably fall in love in their human lives, it’s more like that discovery is put to a halt
Omg someone else who reads the Cupid’s as aroace! As a fellow aroace person I felt such a strong connection to the cupids, especially Koharu getting confessed to and just feeling… nothing. Like the whole ‘my heart should be fluttering’ thing hit SO close to home. I’ve been confessed to a few times and every single time I felt like I was supposed to be excited and giddy or even repulsed in a ‘you’re not my type’ kinda way or SOMETHING but I just felt *nothing*. And while I’m not a matchmaker by any means I do really enjoy shipping characters, meanwhile I’ve never had a crush on anyone. Not even a celebrity crush. But still I sometimes want to know what it feels like to be in love and get jealous of those who do feel it. I’m rambling a bit now but yeah, the cupids seem aroace-spec to me but I don’t know if that’s at all intentional. I tend to be pessimistic and presume this sort of thing is unintentional, but you never know.
I heard about this situation from an anime news site, I'm so glad the author is able to continue their work! I wasn't keen on reading it as a veeeery casual yuri watcher, until I watched this video! You really sold the premise to me, so I'll check it out now Thank you for making this video :)
Guess who bought a digital copy to suppport the author (mostly because delivery cost like 3x the manga and I don't have this much money to just pay) (oh how I hope it gets localized)
I didn't finish the video, but I jumped straight into checking out the first chapter (chapter 0) after 2.5min into the video. Love the art style, unique premise, and what a fun read. Will definitely continue reading.
I've been reading basically since chapter 1 and honestly I was shocked to hear about the struggle in sales. The moment I read the first pages my brain immediately went "Ain't no way this isn't turned into an anime someday". Hopefully time can prove me right eventually 😭
I’m sooo intrigued, this is such a cool concept and I absolutely adore the artstyle. I’ve never read a manga before but this might be what finally gets me into it!
I think I first heard the name of this series thanks to Mother's Basement and I thank you for elaborating on its premise, current status, and how the mangaka reached out to the community to help save it. I'm definitely checking this out; the premise alone sounds fascinating and refreshingly different, plus the art style looks lovely and well-crafted. Here's hoping we see rising success for Love Bullet and eventually a tankoban release.
Always great to see this kind of thing happening in a fan base. Side note, for all my rightful pitching about Great Pretender season 2 sucking in many ways.... the scene with the guns ain't one of them.
I started that series a while ago daym i didnt know it suddenly hit off, im glad the author is getting the support tho the series is a nice comfort read
What got me into this manga is because the cupids use guns instead of the typical bow and arrow we all know, the action scenes also got me hooked even more. Hope that this manga will be recognized even more to a wider audience
i heard about this manga via social media and immediately ran to read it all and i adore it - it's vastly different from the animanga i usually consume so i'm really fascinated i ran to my mum begging for the first volume straight away upon hearing about the sales issues even if it's in japanese haha
Love bullet is incredible, it's smart in its writing and deep in its emotional message. And the art is great. Read it now, it's not long yet. Arc 1 will kill you emotionally, and its a great kickstart.
There could be a AU where its essentially a returners cafe where all cupids can return as humans in a easy matter, although the transformation to human again actually wipes the cupid memory, while also clipping their wings, leaving a special mark, known as a Rebirth Mark... a being aids you for the transformation process, a Robot known as a guardian Cupid.
So, the author just asked for more people to read the manga? this probably only works for yuri, because I have been asking people to read Macoatl for years without that kind of results.
While I’m not well versed in creating stories myself, I’d say don’t be afraid to really show the highs and lows of romance in a really honest sense. Not everything will be perfect with romance, but when things are going good, double down on that dynamic between characters as well
Thing is i droped this one, because the yuri i’m after is not the type this manga shows, it’s playing cupid and that’s all, i like my yuri to SEE the romance and spend time with the characters be invested in their journy to either fall in love or see how their relationship plays our, unfortunately this one romance is reserved to make others fall in love so that doesn’t make me satisfied in terms of romance since there is not much development since they have to go to the next target to pair up, so the other part of the story is mostly slice of life with comedy and supernatural cupids? Yeah not my cup o tea I can see way other didn’t like it and way it needed help, hope it continues for thous that like the story :3 But i kinda worry, it”s at chapter 7 and already has issue selling
Chapter 7 is out by the time of this video!
Started reading it after seeing the video and it's quickly becoming one of my favorite this year by a long shot.
Yozakura Sensei please check out the manga Wolf and Revolver! Please save Wolf and Revolver!
Imagine dying, and still having to do a 9 to 5... But this manga sounds really cool might check it out later.
That thought alone keeps me awake at night.

Just discovered this last week! So happy people are talking about it, it was so cool to see how the community rallied for it

Love bullet is incredible, it's smart in its writing and deep in its emotional message. And the art is great. Read it now, it's not long yet. Arc 1 will kill you emotionally, and its a great kickstart.
I LOVE it so much. For me it gives heavy 2000's vibes, mixing Alien 9 and Haibane Renmei.
I went to a bookstore at the anime block in Osaka and the manga was completely sold out. It seems like the campaign is going pretty well!
YES YES MORE LOVE BULLET CONTENT TO CONSUME ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Glad it's "Rallied" and not "Railed" like my dyslexia thought it was 😅

I am in Japan for the next two days... but tracking down all the magazines would be tough.
My guess is they forget their service as a cupid as soon as rhey go back but end up just back alive in their old life 😊
This is soo good what?
I adore Love Bullet.
Mission accomplished, found it after visiting a few bookshops.
Its like asking a priest to do a follow up on the sacrament of matrimony.
