To satisfy the appetite of readers hungry for more Korean webcomics in print, Ize Press announced two mouthwatering new titles joining its lineup at the Yen Press Industry Panel at New York Comic Con:Regasand Eat Before You Go.
Regas
Art by Daengmeong Adapted by Lee kkeut Original Story by samk
In a kingdom where the royal bloodline inherits the blessings of a dragon, an exceptionally powerful crown prince is born—but the trade-off for such power seems to have been his sanity! Loathed by his own mother and feared by his servants, the feral child looks to be a lost cause even for the Regas, those who specialize in taming the coldhearted monarchs. That is, until a jovial man by the name of Abel appears. Trained in the traditional ways of the Regas, Abel is patient, sturdy in body, and determined to teach the young boy about the beauty of the world. With a political storm brewing around them, will Abel finally be able to open up the prince’s heart?
Regas is an ongoing Boys Love (BL) manhwa that explores the profound bond of caring for someone who has faced a lifetime of mistreatment, alongside the devastating heartbreak of losing the one person you finally opened up to. While his connection to his Regas and a tragic loss may be exactly what Karas needs to unlock and control his true powers, it comes at a heavy cost. Even though the prince now has nothing left to fear, no one but his fated Regas can truly open his heart again. Regas is perfect for readers looking for fantasy BL comics with fated partners, royal politics, obsessive characters, and plenty of comedy to balance the drama. This reincarnation romantasy offers a compelling mix of high-stakes adventure and tantalizing romantic tension. The webcomic has over two million views across the Lezhin, Tappytoon, Manta, and Tapas platforms.
Eat Before You Go
Art by the Bichon Adapted by Kim Haema Original Story by Ko Doo Yeol
After thirty grueling years, the hero, Miro Laikas, defeated the demon lord and made his way back to his own world—only to find his home also overrun by dangerous creatures. Luckily, the people of Earth seem to have it covered, leaving him free to live in peace. In fact, with an abundance of this new variety of ingredients, he can finally devote his time and energy to his one true passion—cooking the most delicious meals ever with monster parts!
Set in a world of hunters and gates, Eat Before You Go is a slice-of-life fantasy manhwa about a tired hero who opens a restaurant after defeating a demon lord. He enjoys a peaceful cooking life, feeding his customers delicious meals, raising a baby dragon, and occasionally defeating tough enemies from the shadows. With a fresh helping of creative dishes using monster ingredients, Eat Before You Go offers a flavorful adventure for readers to dig into with its charming characters, inventive cuisine, and dynamic artwork that makes the action leap off the page. Digitally serialized on WEBTOON with over eight million views, Eat Before You Go is perfect for fans of food-focused fantasy comics like Delicious in Dungeon. Rather than making the act of cooking the adventure, Eat Before You Go sets itself apart by making the restaurant a peaceful counterpoint to a world filled with monsters, hunters, and superpowered battles.
An empress’s marriage ends in divorce after a single day . . . but a son born in secret ties the couple together forever. This manhwa adaptation of Lee Yeonseon’s webnovel is now available in English print for the first time.
Astelle von Lestern devoted years of her life to becoming the perfect bride for Kaizen, the crown prince of the Rastiel empire and the only man she has ever loved. The morning after their wedding, the emperor passes away and Kaizen inherits the throne—and to Astelle’s shock, Kaizen promptly demands a divorce.
With no choice but to accept, Astelle cuts ties with her disgruntled family and resolves to live a quiet life . . . until she discovers she’s pregnant with Kaizen’s child. Kaizen’s abrupt ascension to the throne has ignited fierce political strife, and Astelle refuses to allow her son, Theore, to become a pawn in the nobles’ power struggle. But hiding Theore is no easy task, as he was born with the unmistakable red eyes of the imperial bloodline. When Kaizen tracks her down after six years apart, can Astelle protect her child—and herself—from the cold-hearted man she swore to forget?
Volume 1 collects episodes 1–16 of the webcomic How to Hide the Emperor’s Child.

There’s absolutely nothing special about him.
So when a sudden monster outbreak occurs on his campus, he must fight against every instinct screaming at him to run away as he takes a page out of his police detective dad’s book and rushes to save his classmate.
The chances of making it out alive are looking bleak, until–PING!

Legroom
By Dacto
Gitae Song wakes up locked in a windowless room with no memory of how he got there, and with one of his legs cut off. What keeps him from thinking it’s all some feverish nightmare is Jihun Cha, the man who brings him three meals a day with a gentle smile on his face. No matter how much Gitae curses, rages, and tries to fight him, Jihun treats him with nothing but sickly sweet affection. Though it disgusts him to the core, Gitae realizes his only chance at escape is to take advantage of his captor’s infatuation with him. But one wrong move, and there’s no telling what the smiling man will do—after all, the one who cut off Gitae’s leg is Jihun himself…
Legroom is a standalone mystery BL comic that follows a protagonist with memory loss and an adorable male lead who has a few screws loose.
