Another publisher, Go! Comi, had released two volumes of a different The Devil Within manga by Ryō Takagi in North America last year. Several Doki Doki titles that were revealed at Yaoi Jamboree 2008, Anime Expo 2008, and elsewhere now have confirmed release dates: Eiki Eiki's Train☆Train (April 2009), Mikiyo Tsuda's Princess Princess Plus (April 2009), Saemi Yorita's Brilliant Blue (May 2009), Eiki Eiki and Taishi Zaou's Color (June 2009), Makoto Tateno's Happy Boys (September 2009), and Eiki Eiki's Millennium Prime Minister (October 2009).

Digital Manga confirmed with the Kuriousity blog that, due to the worsening economy, it had laid off two production staffers and lowered its monthly output from 12 books to seven. A marketing staffer, Rachel Livingston, had also left the company recently, but this was planned in advance and was not a layoff. Digital Manga intends to keep its different imprints — specifically 801 Media and Juné — separate and on schedule for releases.

Update: The Devil Within manga by Rico Fukiyama that Doki Doki is releasing is different from The Devil Within manga by Ryō Takagi that Go! Comi released.

Update 2: Doki Doki released the manga by Rico Fukiyama as The Devil Inside.
