Manga Planet Expands BL Library with New Print Releases from Thanat, Asou & Michiru

Manga Planet Announces Four New Boys' Love Titles for Print Release

Manga Planet continues to solidify its position as a leading provider of officially licensed English-language manga by announcing the upcoming print release of four new titles, all within the popular Boys’ Love (BL) genre. This exciting expansion includes works from renowned creators Thanat, Mitsuaki Asou and Sonoo Michiru, catering to growing demand for physical copies of these beloved series. The releases will be available exclusively at Kinokuniya USA for their initial period, offering fans a chance to secure these titles before wider distribution may occur.

A Closer Look at the New Print Licenses

"Here and There and Us" (Volumes 1 & 2) by Thanat follows the developing relationship between popular student Majima and introverted Sonoki.

"The Farthest Love in the World" by Mitsuaki Asou tells the story of Ayumu Isuzu, a young man living without sound, who unexpectedly connects with musician Touka.

Finally, "KOH-BOKU," also by Sonoo Michiru, focuses on the subtly affectionate relationship between public servants Tasuku Kashiwagi and Kyu Imamiya.

Exclusive Availability & Futekiya Imprint Details

These new print releases will initially be available exclusively at Kinokuniya USA locations. This limited availability is likely intended to generate excitement and demand among fans eager to acquire these titles in physical form. Furthermore, the BL titles are being released under Manga Planet’s futekiya imprint, a designation specifically reserved for Boys' Love content. Futekiya has established itself as a key platform for distributing high-quality BL manga, both digitally through its subscription service and now with these new print releases. This dedicated imprint highlights Manga Planet’s commitment to the genre and signals a continued focus on providing fans with a wide selection of BL titles.
