During its panel at Anime NYC on Friday, Yen Press revealed two new manga acquisitions, alongside upcoming audiobook and print releases. While specific release dates for the newly licensed manga were not disclosed, details for the titles are as follows:
-
The Goblin Samurai
- Creator: Kikurage
- Synopsis: Follow the journey of an otherworldly wanderer—a nameless, one-eyed goblin swordsman born into a low-ranking tribe who completely lacks magical abilities. Despite his origins, he is exceptionally well-spoken and possesses unmatched martial prowess, combining deadly swordplay with remarkable grace.
- My Crush’s Crush (Boku no Suki na Hito ga Suki na Hito)
- Creators: Sekina Aoi (Writer) and Ryō Tsuzura (Illustrator)
- Synopsis: Sora Akizuki’s romantic confession to Miya Fuwa ends in a swift rejection when she reveals she is in love with Asahi Suzukaze, the head of the enigmatic “Clinical Trials Club.” Determined to win her over, Sora joins the club, only to uncover an even bigger twist: the girl he likes is harboring her own complicated feelings for someone else entirely.
In addition to these manga licenses, Yen Press announced plans to produce an audiobook adaptation of The Boy and The Beast light novel. They also highlighted the upcoming November print debut of the light novel series Rise of the Lowborn: Ascending the Ranks by Crushing Incompetent Nobles, which was previously licensed by the publisher in May.
