Do they still mostly specialize in Gold Digger and a bevy of over-photoshopped “OEL Manga” titles?" Yep. Gold Digger is still the only really worthwhile thing they put out as far as I can tell, and it's been slowly collapsing under the weight of its own accumulated backstory and power creep. “*Are they still around?

Yep. Gold Digger is still the only really worthwhile thing they put out as far as I can tell, and it’s been slowly collapsing under the weight of its own accumulated backstory and power creep.

It was also the only one I have where they used a lazy screencap rather than a painted cover. (Note: the title was indeed misspelled on the spine of the book. Apparently Japanese businessmen made a gentlemen's game out of scratching pieces of wood and trying to identify them by smell. Runner up in pointless novel entries: Before the Invid Storm. Because we really needed to go out of our way to find out who the first person Dana Sterling slept with was.

Yeah, all of them. Including the last one, where Minmei became Eve or some nonsense. God, I’m glad I’m not the only one who read the McKinney novels. Yeah, all of them.
