Comments:

The existing "Vanilla Bunko" will also be added under this new publisher (well, new publisher name). As for "Harlequin Lovesick", for now all publications under this label were published before July 1st, 2015, and so the label will not be added under the new publisher name (until new publication comes out under the new publisher name).
