Eight Series Join the Kodansha Print Club This Spring
Kodansha is proud to reveal eight new series additions coming soon to the Kodansha Print Club—the publishing program aimed at bringing Kodansha’s digital-first manga favorites to print. And now...
In a Kodansha Print Club first, Omega of the Divine—the atmospheric yet sensual god-mortal omega BL romance—makes its premiere in English, exclusively via Kodansha's print-on-demand program.
Fans will also recognize several current digital-first titles arriving in print this Spring. These series include:
- Because I, the True Saint, was Banished, that Country is Done For!, the cozy fantasy epic.
- The World is Dancing, the dynamic Noh-theater-focused historical fiction, which will see an anime adaptation in Summer 2026
- Tokyo Tarareba Girls Returns, the sequel to the hilarious triple-marriage-pact saga (from the author of Princess Jellyfish)
- Killing Line, the deadly and action-packed assassin/target romance
And more!
Kodansha Print Club titles debuting in Spring 2026 will be available to pre-order in the coming weeks via retailers like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop.org, Books-A-Million, Kinokuniya, Hudson Booksellers, Powell's, and the Crunchyroll Store. These titles may even be available at your local bookstore, but if you don't see these titles, you can ask to special order them. Shipping of Kodansha Print Club titles may vary by retailer and may take longer for international orders.
Kodansha continues to invite fans to be part of this program by not only purchasing Kodansha Print Club titles, but also by letting the publisher know which series they would like to see added to this ever-expanding roster. Suggestions, comments, and requests can be submitted via Kodansha’s Publishing suggestion feedback form.

Omega of the Divine
By Ayumu Nagisa
JP Title: 愛日と花嫁
Debut Date: Spring 2026
In this atmospheric tale between a sullen, winged god and his mortal omega bride, tragedy and tradition find hope in a life shared. A three-volume BL romance full of feverish sensual encounters—restrained or otherwise…
Once upon a time in a barren land, tradition called for villagers to offer a bride to the sun god… Here enters our bride: Luke, the gentle son of the late village chief, who is one day struck with fevers, fainting spells, and something more. The villagers understand this as a sign, and the young man, his fear held within his mortal heart, understands it as his assignment. He is to be given over to a ravenous god, who, in turn, shall bring bountiful harvests to his neighbors. The one Luke encounters, however, may be far warmer, far more precious than the legends foretold, if only fate would steer them from tragedy…
