ICv2.com: New Yaoi Titles and Licenses

The comics business news and analysis site ICv2.com has their lead article up this morning declaring an "explosion" of titles from various publishers in the yaoi genre, most of which were announced at, naturally, last weekend's Yaoi-Con.

They list as many titles as they can, follow with an analysis of how each publisher (well) and the market in general (probably well) will handle the influx of new work, then end with a much less interesting warning that the explicit nature of some of the titles could lead to censorship troubles. I say much less interesting because while the potential for a local controversy at some point should be obvious to everyone, there are so many ways a protest could develop I wish there were more detail in their analysis of how this might happen.
