Why is this useful?
Why is this useful?
You might think that knowing which company prints and releases your books is completely irrelevant. But trust me, it is not! (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧
As Danmei is a genre that has just started gaining popularity in the last couple of years, there are constantly new books and book series licensed, printed and distributed.
How (print or digital?) and where they are distributed (licenses for specific regions only) as well as where you can buy them depends very strongly on the publisher.
In the sections below, I will introduce the most relevant publishers of Danmei with a focus on accessibility. All to make it easier for you to know where to get your next book!
At the very end, there is also a little explanation as to why e-books are a nice thing and why I prefer them. ☆⌒(ゝ。∂)
Seven Seas
Seven Seas
The largest and arguably most important Danmei publisher, Seven Seas is a US company specialized in Asian light novels and manga.
[To be honest, it is currently my favorite daydream to work for them as an editor ₍₍⚞(⸝⸝>⸝⸝<⸝⸝)⚟⁾⁾]
They have a dedicated site for their Danmei catalogue which includes synopses, a glossary and a detailed release calendar (that I look at more often than I want to admit...)
They own a large amount of English language licenses for famous representatives of the genre including all of Mo Xian Tong Xiu's and Rou Bao Bu Chi Rou's novels. Under their label Siren, they also started producing audiobooks for popular Danmei novels like The Husky and His White Cat Shizun and The Legend of Exorcism.
Physical copies of Seven Seas' books can be found in larger book stores that sell English language fantasy literature as well as ordered online through major retail platforms like amazon.
Luckily, Seven Seas also releases their entire catalogue digitally and e-books can be acquired via Kindle, BookWalker, Google Play Books, Kobo and other platforms.
Here, you can check out Seven Sea's Danmei page, their release calendar and glossary:
Rosmei (Publang)
Rosmei (Publang)
Rosmei is a small, independent publisher based in Singapore that is specialized on English language Danmei publications.
However, their catalogue also contains Baihe novels and as well as some non-danmei fantasy works and manga.
As Rosmei is not a globally operating business, their books are unfortunately not so easy to come by. Ordering directly from their webshop is generally only possible in Singapore, with some titles also being shipped to a limited number of other countries.
For most other places in the world, us fans must rely on other distributors that purchase through bulk orders and shipments.
A small selection of retailers that carry Rosmei books are:
Fa Fa Fuwa Shop (Indonesia)
Moonlight in Monday (Thailand)
UNNE (Germany)
ATOM Comics (Poland)
Travelling Man (UK)
Yiggybeans Books (USA)
Kinokuniya (USA)
The Beguiling (Canada)
And More...
For a more detailed list of partners, please visit the official website
Their books are not only exquisitely designed but usually also come with lovingly curated merchandise. This can be post cards, stickers, acrylic figurines, etc. There is usually a regular edition with some merch and the merch edition with MORE merch! (♡⩊♡)
Until now, the Rosmei catalogue is almost exclusively print-only. However, they have previously acquired licenses for digital releases and are now partnering with US based Publang to create physical editions for the US market and also to release e-books! More news and the first steps of this partnership can be expected in 2027. Until then, the first volume of Art Thou Ailing? and half of volume 1 of Killer of Killers can be unlocked and read on Publang's official website.
Sadly, Rosmei does not have digital distribution rights for every title of their catalogue. All the novels by Priest and some others will remain print-only.
You can check out their entire catalogue and their progress updates (published volumes of a series, pre-order times and new series) via the two links below. You can admire the exquisit cover art and for some books, you can also read a small sample:
Haitang
Haitang
Haitang is another small, independent publisher specialized on Danmei and BL. They are based in the US and their growing catalogue includes not only Danmei novels but also BL manhwa from Korea.
When browsing their website, I was absolutely stunned by how gorgeous their books are! Not only the covers, but also the interior designs are incredibly beautiful and well-made. I found myself impulsively wanting to buy ALL their books, read them and just stack them next to my bed to look at ヾ(｡✪ω✪｡)ｼ
However, I sadly don't have the money or space at home to indulge in that desire ... (╥﹏╥)
Unfortunately, their entire catalogue is print only at the moment and there are no concrete plans for digital releases. Also, the books cannot be easily found in most regular bookshops. Haitang is partnering with the US branches of Kinokuniya, so you can find their books in the respective Kinokuniya stores across major US cities. Me who is based in Europe and everyone else outside the US has to rely on dedicated retailers, similarly to Rosmei paperbacks.
Some of them are:
Nebelland (primary distributor, worldwide shipping)
UNNE (Germany)
ATOM Comics (Poland)
Travelling Man (UK)
Yiggybeans Books (USA)
Kinokuniya (USA)
The Beguiling (Canada)
And More...

If you want to see for yourself, please check out their official website for pictures of their wonderful books, synopses and small reading samples. They also have a progress report available that shows how many volumes of a series have been published, what new licenses were acquired and pre-order times for new releases:
Via Lactea
Via Lactea
Via Lactea is an independent publisher based in Canada. They are mainly focussed on Danmei novels.
Interestingly, most of their catalogue features Chinese language editions and the English translations are much fewer in number.
I was really surprised at first, especially as the Chinese books also have English titles printed on the cover. And I first thought: "Hey, such a big selection!", until I realized that most of it is Chinese only... Then, I felt a little scammed 〜(꒪꒳꒪)〜
Their English language selection is expanding though, with many of them being available as both print and e-books (not all of them, unfortunately...)
E-books are very easily accessible through major platforms like Kindle, Apple Books, Rakuten Kobo or Smashwords.
Print editions can be ordered directly through their website or partner distributors. You can find their online shop, partners list and catalogue on through their official website.
Peach Flower House [Out of Print]
Peach Flower House [Out of Print]
Peach Flower House was an US based independent publisher specialized in English language Danmei novels.
They were among the first to bring English Danmei translations to the market and held licenses for a few very popular works.
Their catalogue included the following Danmei titles in both print and digital editions:
Little Mushroom
Golden Terrace
In The Dark
The Imperial Uncle
Peach Blossom Debt
University of the Underworld
However, they unfortunately closed down in 2024. There were some issues with missing and censored content in their first release of Little Mushroom and In The Dark. Books had to be recalled and reprinted and free updates were provided for the digital versions. This posed a significant financial burden and finally led to them going out of business. If you're interested in more details, I can recommend the following article:
The site Danmei News is generally a recommendation from me if you want to be informed about the latest Danmei releases from different publishers as well as comic and drama adaptations which I don't cover on this blog:
Luckily, Seven Seas has picked up Golden Terrace and Little Mushroom, so an official English release for those two is available again!
As for the others, their future status is uncertain. However, you can probably find the old digital editions on certain sites *cough, cough*. Which I don't recommend of course *wink, wink*
Small Extra: Chaleuria used to be a digital platform for English Danmei but they are also not operating anymore. Their catalogue was small and the works were not super popular. I didn't want to write an extra entry for it, so I'm adding it here instead. More information on it can be found here:

Digital Releases/E-Books
Digital Releases/E-Books
As you noticed, I payed special attention to e-books when discussing the different publishers. Why? Because I actually prefer e-books for reading my Danmei.
Now, the book purists are probably going to have my head for this statement, but let me explain! (ó﹏ò｡)
I love physical books, I really do! A couple of years ago I would've been one of the people to say that I couldn't do without the authentic book experience: Holding the book, turning the page, the book smell...
Heck, I'd turn my whole place into a huge library if I could. Sadly, it is impossible for me (and I believe many other people) to collect so many. I just don't have the space and I can currently not say if I will move in the next couple of years. And moving with many books is really a pain! I'm talking from experience (ᵕˆヮˆ)
Also, buying books is expensive! And living is already expensive enough as it is... Especially in the last couple of years.
For many well-known books and classics, all the above can be solved by getting them from your local library. Real book experience without commitment! But if you like Danmei, good luck finding that stuff in a library! Don't get me wrong, libraries will probably start stocking them if they get popular enough but at the moment, most official Danmei releases are so new that there is no way a library is going to have them.
That leaves us with e-books as the best option to circumvent all this. You don't need space, e-books tend to be fairly cheap AND you get them as soon as they are released: No waiting, no shipping cost. Your wallet and the environment will thank you!
Technically, you don't even need a special device for it, you can just read on your phone. I personally prefer an e-reader because it's much nicer on the eyes than a small and bright phone screen ( ꈍ◡ꈍ)
My personal recommendation (absolutely not sponsored!) is the Boox Go Color 7 (in the picture). What I like about it, is that it operates on Android and therefore, you can download many different apps and are not limited to one specific platform. The colors are a nice feature to look at the covers and the colored internal illustrations. Not good enough to read fully colored comics though!
