The North American publisher Digital Manga Inc. (DMI) announced the first titles that it is planning to release under its Digital Manga Guild program on Friday: Rihito Takarai's Hana No Mizo Shiru (Only The Flower Knows), Mario Yamada's Chuuken wa Hana o Matsu (The Faithful Dog Waits For Flowers), and Saki Aida & Yugi Yamada's Aisotsukashi (Tired of Waiting For Love).
DMI assigned all three boys-love manga titles to the group Kawaii Neko to localize into English. DMI plans to announce more Guild titles at its panel at Anime Expo in Los Angeles on Saturday.
Last summer, DMI revealed its plans for the Guild, which allows fans to translate, edit, and letter works legally with the permission of the original Japanese owners. Under the program, the guild members are credited and paid royalties from online purchases, and the works may be published in print if they prove to be popular.

Just trying to be fair and balanced, since I'll probably never read these. However, I didn't know that DMI created an actual guild for digital manga publication.
