Yaoi Press

Yaoi Press is an independent yaoi comic publisher based in Nevada. Founded in 2004 by publisher Yamila Abraham, the company specializes in Global BL, or yaoi comics originally published outside of Asia. Yaoi Press publishes original OEL manga as well as European yaoi in translation, and features both single volume comics and comic series. As of 2020, Yaoi Press had fifty titles on the market.^[1]^[2] One of Yaoi Press's early publishing strategies in order to improve the reputation of OEL manga among yaoi fans was to headhunt famous artists of Global BL.^[3] In October 2007, Yaoi Press launched a comic book line in order to provide a less expensive option for customers.^[4]

Yaoi Press held a fan convention from the 20th to 22nd in 2008 called Yaoi Jamboree, in Phoenix, Arizona. Various manga artists who had previously worked for the company were invited as guests and an art book of submissions by attended were distributed at the convention.^[5]^[6]
