So excited to be editing the print version of this! (I may have literally begged for it!)

Dark Elf with Fading Powers is an absolutely beautiful series about finding new paths in life.

If you're anything like me and love Frieren/WHA/Magus, this is the new best thing.

New Licensed continued

• The Journey of a Dark Elf with Fading Powers

Tbh this shocked me because i wouldve thought kodansha had this one on lock but glad to see it in print!

@DistantValhalla I want all the hours I've spent at piers in this goddamn country waiting for whales back...

@CorbynRed It used to be cool to be into niche things, but now gamers have gotten obsessed with pretending to be CEOs on Twitter and championing the mainstream at the cost of all else.

@MivAkari @frog_kun I dream a dream of Planet With... (and his short stories)

[Canipa @CanipaShow]

@snlorp A whole bunch of this was from waiting for a QBD sale. Was thinking about the NieR: Automata manga, but all the volumes were $25+

My paycheck comes from manga and then gets returned to manga.

@Genki_JPN Pragmata for me. Mina the Hollower and Saros very close behind.

@DistantValhalla First town in Japan to only accept yuan

@mugiwara_vt It's so good that I'm worried about reading it too quickly and catching up. The fact more people aren't talking about it is a crime

[Canipa @CanipaShow]

@largehotcoffee I'd need like 5 more bookshelves lol

[Canipa @CanipaShow]

@GatoNegroArmy @frog_kun I'm so dumb I didn't even consider that. I bet IKEA even sells them separately...

[Chike and Maomao solve mysteries @chike_writes]

Hatori and Furuta's Extraordinarily Ordinary Life was my favourite manga of 2025

@cumaseorangwibu I'm a fan of everything Fujimoto's done, but Chainsaw Man is just too long for me. Really like bits of it, but not enough to collect the whole lot.

[Canipa @CanipaShow]

@frog_kun OMIGOD A NICE TWEET?

[Canipa @CanipaShow]

@daijiro_nonoue Hoping for an English volume release and a very long run! Love this series!

@VertDragonliger Hell yeah. It's published by my company too, so I'm taking credit. Also How Many Years to Babylon? and The Dungeon That Slaughters All Adventurers are in English from the same author!

[Canipa @CanipaShow]

@Mad_DanielFL @frog_kun is in charge of the household light novel budget

[Canipa @CanipaShow]

I expected to like Jaadugar and Kaiju Girl, but Grow Up Show's a big surprise. Has the energy of a PA Works working girls show from ten years ago.

[Canipa @CanipaShow]

Three favourite shows so far this season:

Jaadugar: Witch in Mongolia
Grow Up Show
KAIJU GIRL CARAMELISE
