Digital-First Announcements!

My Boss’s Kitten by Yumi Hisawa Aya was deserted right before her marriage and was left without a place to live. One day, she finds herself wandering back into the house she was supposed to own after her wedding. To her surprise, the cold-blooded boss she hates from work had moved in as the new owner! A dangerous love ignites under one roof between the girl who lost love and her sadistic boss! Coming October 15! Read Chapter 1 right here!

1122: For a Happy Marriage by Peko Watanabe Wife: Ichiko Aihara. Husband: Otoya Aihara. Married for seven years, they get along well, but sexless and without children, they agree to see other people. Otoya has an affair with Mitsuki, and Ichiko is aware of it. Looking at Otoya in a state of bliss with Mitsuki, Ichiko begins to change, too … Peko Watanabe tells a story of lies and truth—whether or not you ever want to get married, the real life of this thirtysomething couple might give you some second thoughts about that institution we call marriage! Coming October 22! 

Guilty by Ai Okaue Affection, betrayal, desperation—love between grown-ups is never a rational thing. Sayaka, age 35, has lived with the perfect husband for ten years. Perfect, that is, except for his disinterest in raising a child—she wants one badly, but just can’t come clean to him about it. Instead she unloads her frustrations on her younger friend Rui at their favorite bar. They trust each other enough to talk about almost anything—but Rui has a secret she can’t even let Sayaka know about! Coming October 29! 

Our Fake Marriage by Kiui Tokina An ordinary girl, Yae, loses her home and job at age 29 and has nowhere to turn. But when she runs into a childhood friend, Takumi, he “proposes” she live with him in a high-rise condominium in the city, acting as his fake spouse … A tale of deceit … involving a handsome architect! Coming November 5! 

Print Announcement!

Special guest Hidemi Shiraki (editor for Young Magazine) revealed  The Witch and the Beast will be coming in print in 2020!

Ashaf and Guideau know one thing: “Wherever a witch goes, only curses and disasters follow.” But they have scores to settle, and they won’t hesitate to remove anyone in their way.

Artist Kousuke Satake makes a suave and explosive manga debut with a story of vengeance set in a stylish, art-deco urban wonderland that’s one part Fullmetal Alchemist and one part Cowboy Bebop.

Well, that’s it, for now!
