25% off (coupon code BREATH25) on pre-orders of Breath, Volume 1! November 28th (today) only. www.yaoigen.com
Thanks for the information.
Update: Their 25% sale is over. They're offering 15% off on pre-orders. :)
This is great news - it is good to find out a new publisher of Yaoi titles. :)
I purchased the first volume at the 15 percent discount and with the cheap shipping (US postal mail) the overall price is not much over what it would cost me to get it from a local bookstore. But I didn't want to wait for it to show up in stores, so this is a great deal. I'm just glad that I can now get this series because I was upset when I thought all I'd get to read of it would be up to the first 2 chapters of the second volume. This is one of my favorite series.
In case anyone's interested, they've posted previews!
We will be advertising them with coupon codes in the near future.
too late for me, but I really loved breath too!
thanks a lot for the information! :)
I just received the 1st volume in the mail today and it looks great. I hope plenty of people buy this volume so that the rest of the series gets published.
\o/ YAY! New publisher means more titles!!! YAY!!!
And way to go for discounts! ^.^
Don't forget, a week from this Monday, on Feb. 23rd, you can pre-order the second volume of Breath at a bigger discount than you would get if you waited later to order it.
I got the book. Waiting for the 23rd to order #2. I got it from their site since Amazon didn't have a copy and I got a Breath Bookmark!
Today, yaoigen is taking pre-orders for Breath Volume 2 for a 15 percent discount off the price. They have the discount code on this page: Yaoi Generation - Manga - breath - Yaoi Generation. Not sure how long the 15 percent off deal will last.
Just a heads up that they're taking pre-orders for volume 3 and this time the pre-order discount is 20% off! Looks like the pre-orders stop July 30th and it releases July 31st (according to their Facebook update). I highly recommend this series if you haven't read it.
Discount code: BREATH3
Another sale from Yaoi Generation... this time 30% off for their Thanksgiving Sale. Orders won't ship until December 2nd. Code is "THGV30", all the details are on the main page of their site.
@Pandora
Thanks for the info. I think I might really take advantage of their Thanksgiving sale. However, I really have some reservations that I hope others who had ordered from them can answer:
1. I read that they eliminated 1-2 pages due to self censorship in volume 1. How is this affecting your read? Honestly speaking, I hate it when publisher tampers w/ books this way - why bother rating it Mature then if you censor?
2. Do I order by using the 'Contact Us' button on their web site to get the discount?
3. Is their shipping reasonable for US & do they accept Paypal or Google checkout?
I have been holding back from purchasing from them mainly due to issue #1 even though I like "Breath" series but at this right enough price, I think I might just go for it.

As far as affecting the read, I would never have noticed it was missing if they hadn't said so. It doesn't cut out the whole scene entirely, just the actual act and they did a good job of transitioning it. They have the dialogue that was cut out at the back of the book.
There are plenty of juicy smex scenes to earn the Mature rating, so don't worry about being cheated on that, lol!
2. Up at the top, there are links for "home, manga, forum, & about us". I click on "manga", select Breath and then select the one(s) I'm ordering. You add the coupon code right before checkout.
3. Their shipping is really cheap, at least within the U.S. (I don't know about internationally). They give multiple options to choose from. I know they accept Paypal, I'm not sure about Google Checkout though.
The series is definitely worth reading despite the one-time censor.
I would like to give a different perspective to lunaticpandora. I did noticed something odd in the flow of the manga where they removed the 2 pages. I didn't read the last page nor did I find out online that there was censorship until after I've finished it. Its just a feeling that made me pause for a bit.Quote:

I can't take advantage of the sale since I already have all 4 vols T_T
Maybe it's just me, then ^____^;; I originally assumed Ochi-sensei wasn't going to go any further with that scene and thought nothing of it until I read the disclaimer at the back.Quote:

I feel your pain on the discount. T___T At least there are the constant 15%-20% off sales XD! Can't wait for volume 5!

This is not really a discount, but Yaoi Generation is raising funds to help Haiti. This was posted on their website and Facebook page:
"In an effort to raise funds to help support the earthquake recovery efforts in Haiti, all proceeds from sales on our website (Yaoi Generation) between now and the end of the month will be donated to the American Red Cross: Haiti Relief."
Just thought I'd do a YG promotion and let people know that v5 of Breath will be available for preorder on the 19th of April! - in a few days time :)
Edit: yay preorder is now available with freebies XD
