Getting Closer to You
By Ruri Kamino

For Kaho, a man’s muscles are all that matters. She’s sports-agnostic, type-agnostic—all she cares about are that those abs, pecs, biceps and delts look good. She thinks she’s found her perfect Muscle Prince in Natsume-sempai…that is, until he finds out what a muscle-freak she is. But instead of ridiculing her, he instead suggests she becomes manager of the basketball team—the one he just so happens to be on? For a muscle-lover like Kaho, there’s nothing to lose…and everything to gain.

Known only as Rat, this boy is a VC—a fugitive living outside the computerized tapestry of city control—and helping him will throw Shion’s life into chaos and start him down a path to discovering the appalling secrets behind the superficial perfection of No. 6.

Read Free Ch. 1 Preview of the Digital Series Debuts Coming in May!

Kodansha USA reveals three digital manga series making their volume 1 debut this May, including the grilled-food obsessed rom-com How to Grill Our Love; the fantastical unlikely roomie series, Small Nozomi & Big Yume; and a magical fish-out-of-water saga, The World of Summoning, from Yuuki Kodama, the creator of Blood Lad.

May’s debuting digital manga series will be available upon release across all our participating digital vendors, including Bookwalker, Kindle, Apple Books, Google Play, Nook, Kobo, MyAnimeList and more!

MARCH 2023 DIGITAL DEBUTS:

How to Grill Our Love
By Shiori Hanatsuka

Release Date: May 5, 2023

Dating can be tough when you nerd out over barbecue. Kenta, a practical pitmaster, looks for a grill-friend in Chihiro, an aloof and faultless business babe…or is she? Scared of being rejected for who they really are, the two of them find comfort in food and each other…and all is well until Kenta must transfer away. With their developing relationship at steak, Chihiro proposes they tie the knot and they marry for better or wurst. Winging a long-distance marriage is one thing, but here’s the rub—they barely know each other! It’s a rare marriage where all the awkwardness of dating meets a sizzling passion for grilling!

Small Nozomi & Big Yume
By Sou Hamayumiba

Release Date: May 16, 2023

High schooler Nozomi Koiwa wakes up and discovers she’s lost her memories…and a whole lot of height. Now the size of a soda can, she flees from a feline assault into the disgusting den of Yume Okubo, a drunken shut-in NEET who’s terrified of people and hasn’t been outside for months. Between falling beer cans and deadly insect traps, Nozomi survives long enough to convince the airheaded Yume that she’s a figment of her imagination who’s come to save her from hitting rock bottom…all while investigating how she ended up funsized. But despite their differences—height, brains, and otherwise—each half of this quirky combo might just be what the other needs!

The World of Summoning
By Yuuki Kodama

Release Date: May 30, 2023

Tokoyo was raised in the Fantasy District—not notable in and of itself, except for the fact that he’s human. That fact alone gives him the ability to become a Summoner—one who can bring people and items from other worlds into his own. He’s the pride of the district, as all those who live there were themselves summoned from another world. But when he emerges into the city of Tokyo, a human city where the summoned are discriminated against, he finds that being a Summoner isn’t what he thought it was at all…and that, perhaps, his utopian vision of a world shared by human and summoned alike isn’t shared by all… A brand-new adventure from the creator of Blood Lad!

One of the most-anticipated new action manga across the globe, Gachiakuta is a must-read for fans of dark, dystopian fantasy like Deadman Wonderland and Fire Force!

A boy lives in a floating town, where the poor scrape by and the rich live a sumptuous life, simply casting their garbage off the side, into the abyss. When he’s falsely accused of murder, though, his wrongful conviction leads to an unimaginable punishment—exile off the edge, with the rest of the trash. Down on the surface, the cast-off waste of humanity has bred vicious monsters, and to travel the path to vengeance against those who cast him into Hell, a boy will have to become a warrior…

Like any proper noble lady, one must have certain acquired tastes. For Melphiera Marchalrayd, she just happens to crave a rather exotic protein—monsters! But do not judge! Despite its bad reputation, monster meat can be used in exquisite cuisine and Melphiera is determined to change the kingdom’s opinion of it! Unfortunately, since debuting in society, Melphiera has been struggling to find her perfect match…until she meets the fearless “Blood-Mad Duke” of Galbraith!

When she saves a beat-up delinquent in the park one rainy evening, she refuses any sort of repayment. But it turns out that saving the notorious Zen Ohira buys her the attention of some unsavory characters. As Zen keeps swooping in to help her out of one pickle after another, her feelings about relying on anyone but herself—and her feelings toward Zen—slowly begin to change… A new romcom from the author of Lovesick Ellie!
