Could be that they intend to branch out this year, similar to Yen Press moving much more firmly into BL last year. There’s only so much Shounen Jump stuff they can pump out after all! And certainly I’d be happy to see someone else regularly picking up this stuff ^^

Viz is a subsidiary of Shogakukan who own and run the platform the series ran on, so it’s not particularly surprising to me that they’d have access to licensing it, but they do license out a lot to Seven Seas so I’m surprised it wasn’t with them instead. Still I’m happy as I’d rather support...

Ogami and Yaginuma have successfully become friends, but could it be that there's more to their relationship than that? With summer break approaching, they begin spending more time together and wondering could this be love...? Continue reading...

Oooh I did not know they'd licensed it, will have to keep an eye out for it next year (such a long time to wait...). I recently read The Song of Yoru & Asa from Kuma (still need to buy the sequel), which I really enjoyed and being my first purchase from that imprint it certainly sold me on the...

Figured this was worth a discussion of its own as a few people use BookWalker. All the relevant information can be found in their notice here. A quick summary is that the global store will be changing coins for points, but the Japanese store will remain using coins. Coins can still be used on...

It's a quieter month to start off the year. Maybe the backlog will be reduced this year. 🙈 Physical stuff: Mostly just picked up stuff I was following anyway this month and the one new title (My Ultramarine Sky) I figured I'll like since all of Furuya's stuff has been excellent. I think I...

Sunbeams in the Sky reaches its conclusion here in Volume 3. With the twins' secret revealed, they're confronted by their love interests. How will their lives change from here? Continue reading...

Sounds like you like shounen series then. My recommendations would be: Blue Lock Call of the Night Daemons of the Shadow Realm Bungo Stray Dogs Edens Zero (Since you mentioned Fairy Tail and this is the authors current work) Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Kaiju no 8 Noragami The Case Study of...

Why don't you tell us a bit about what you've read and enjoyed before? It's difficult to recommend stuff without a starting point, being open to all genres is great but if you read a lot already you're likely to get inundated with recommendations for 'the classics'. So, it would be helpful to...

After an otherworldly experience in childhood, Naoya Fukamachi has the ability to hear lies, a power which has brought him great hardship. Now in university, he finds himself attending Akira Takatsuki's Folklore Studies II lecture and is soon dragged into all manner of mysterious investigations...

When Yuuki meets Iori while out clubbing with her friend, she can't even begin to imagine that he might help her in her quest to find her one true love. In fact he may even be that very person she's hoping to find! Continue reading...

It was A Weaver Spins a Tale of Blind Love that was supposed to be out in print and on eBook stores in December (now April), which is one of their Japanese novels. Sorry I realise I may have caused confusion there since we were talking about the Chinese novels primarily.

Yeah I know there’s stuff out in Spanish, but given the English stuff got delayed out of December I’m just wary of it. Also because for the Chinese series specifically they are reusing fan translations (with those translators involved) and fixing those up as opposed to a new commission. Which I...

As nice as it is to see Monogatari licensing more stuff, I really want them to put ANYTHING out in print before they barrel on ahead with more licenses. It's becoming the same problem as Tentai books where they're a small startup that you can't trust to actually release anything, particularly...

Usato finds himself facing the Demon Lord's army in his first major fight since being summoned to this world. And heroes Suzune and Kazuki quickly find themselves in trouble when fighting the powerful Black Knight who's immune to all their attacks. Will Usato be able to protect them and find a...

Bought Atami-kun and This Wolf Is Not Scary relatively recently in Japanese, I think Atami was in the This Manga is Sugoi top 10. 🙈Guess I am double-dipping down the road... Hoping they'll continue to license This Wolf Is Not Scary's sequels, kinda surprised they've gone for it at all as it...

Virgin Love tells the story of 26-year-old Shoko Shoji who's well respected among her peers but hopeless in love! Hoping to change, she applies for The Love House project, where she'll live under one roof with five other single people. Will this be what she needs to turn her love life around...

Akira and Amamiya are on a mission involving a black-market auction for illegal trade of extraterrestrial creatures. Akira soon finds himself well over his head when one of the creatures is let loose, but surely Amamiya will come to his rescue, right...? Continue reading...

Same, I'd definitely like to own that in print (having just been reading the Japanese pixiv releases so far). I've not bought anything from Animate in general yet due to it being largely digital only and for awhile not available on Bookwalker, so certainly a lot there I'll pick up if they...

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2024-01-14/animate-international-announces-8-new-boys-love-manga-licenses/.206463 Some new licenses from Animate. Love the “That Time I Got Reincarnated into a BL Manga” name 🤣 Very fast license for the Breathless Momentum spin-off, that only just started...
