About Us | Little Death Books

Mission

To spread the seed of Danmei, BL, and beyond to the farthest ends of the universe.

Vision

We envision a world where everyone can experience la petite mort no matter who you are or where you live. We want our library to be accessible, opulent, and showcase the beauty of the human experience of love.

Our Approach

We at Little Death Books believe in the human power of translation. That's why we only use the most ethical, scientifically-backed approaches to our publishing and are committed to using 100% fresh, free-range human translators.

Translation-to-Table ™ allows for authentic, AAA output from native translators that are free-range, pasture raised, and kept happy with a fresh, sustainable diet of fair wages in exchange for their work.

We do not, nor ever permit/condone the use of mass-market robot-clanker-AI translation in any of our books or art, and will forever endeavour to support the creative arts as an active part of the Human Resistance.

Fresh, never frozen. Original, bespoke translation. From us to you.
