English-speaking fans of yuri manga Love Bullet have joined hands to help save the series, which isn't even officially available in English, from cancellation after Japanese creator Inee revealed that sales of its first volume have been slow. The vast majority of these fans can't read Japanese, but they're shelling out for physical and digital volumes as a show of support anyway, rocketing the series up sales charts at major bookstores and earning a gobsmacked thank you from Inee.
If you search for English results of Love Bullet, you'll only find fan-made translations uploaded to sites like Mangadex, which also has a translation of the special chapter that Inee posted to Twitter. "We're in trouble!" it reads. "The sales of volume 1 are struggling!" As Inee focused on promotion in Japan, fans around the world got to work finding ways to support the author directly, fearing that the series would be canceled before it could even get going.
