Tokyopop announced that it has licensed three new Boys’ Love manga series: Monster and Ghost, My Fluffy Moody Crush, and My Noons and Midnights Are for You. All the newly licensed titles have been listed as “coming soon.”
This latest round of announcements from Tokyopop comes after the company confirmed the license of three new BL titles and four romance/fantasy manga last week for Spring 2025 release. Fifteen more new manga licenses were announced this week.
Here are the details for the new manga licenses:
Monster and Ghost
Story and Art: Himemiko
Synopsis:
Koton Tsubaki, a delinquent with a dark and violent past, encounters the sweet and optimistic ghost of a young man, Yuuki Kabuto, and his life begins to change.
My Fluffy Moody Crush
Story and Art: Nayuta Nago
Synopsis:
In a world where humans and demi-humans coexist in day-to-day life, Kou is a half-human, half-vampire who works at a café. Following a traumatic incident in childhood, he’s been avoiding making personal connections with humans, because, well… their blood smells delicious. One day, his childhood friend, Itsuki, reappears in his life and starts working at the café.
Itsuki is determined to rekindle their friendship, but Kou must keep his distance to avoid putting Itsuki in a perilous position as he did in childhood. As they grow closer, Itsuki finds himself romantically interested in Kou, and after some push and pull the two admit their feelings to each other and start dating. A sweet, friends-to-lovers romance set in a modern fantasy world!
My Noons and Midnights Are for You
Story and Art: Luria
Synopsis:
While his V-tuber persona, Mahiru, is bright and cheerful on screen, the real Mayo is gloomy and unconfident. Adored by his audience as Mahiru, he wishes he were confident enough to be seen and loved as his real self. Even his manager, Ogino, seems to see him more as Mahiru than Mayo sometimes… and when Ogino takes their relationship to a new level, Mayo worries that it’s only because Ogino values “Mahiru” and wants him to continue on as his character.
Over the course of their sexual relationship, Mayo doubts Ogino’s sincerity, but Ogino finally admits that he’s always admired Mayo for who he really is. A sexy, sado-maso kink romance, incorporating the complexity of online persona and identity.
In addition, Tokyopop confirmed that the second volume release of The Person I Loved Asked Me to Die in My Sister’s Stead manga adaptation is now available in print under the LoveLove imprint.
The company also provided an update on the danmei novel series The Wizard by Taiwanese author Shi Wu, which is now set to release in May 2025.
