Love Bullet

At the May 2025 edition of MCM London Comic Con, Yen Press announced that it has acquired the rights for the English adaptation of the popular manga Love Bullet by inee. The first volume will be released in print and digital in November 2025. This supernatural, gunslinging series is heralded for its unique art style, fun premise, and yuri (also known as Girls Love) characters.

Love Bullet first appeared in the manga magazine Comic Flapper in October 2023.

Love Bullet follows a teen girl who dies and is reborn as a Cupid. She must complete missions to help people fall in love for the chance to return to her own human life.

In this contemporary world, Cupids solve problems of love not with bows and arrows but with guns! However, when the Cupids get in an argument over how to solve a love triangle…a full-on shoot-out occurs?! 

The acquisition comes after the overwhelming support the title received in September 2024 led by readers wanting to spread awareness and to encourage others to purchase the manga. Yuri fans, whether they spoke Japanese or not, delivered, with Love Bullet even selling out at key retailers like Kinokuniya and Amazon.

In a time where there’s an outspoken desire for more yuri titles to be adapted into English, Yen Press is thrilled to be able to have Love Bullet join the ranks of its other popular titles like The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn’t a Guy at All; This Monster Wants to Eat Me; She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat; and many more.

I Left my A-Rank Party to Help My Former Students Reach the Dungeon Depths!

Art by Yuri, Story by Kosuke Unagi, Original Character Designs by Super Zombie
Debut Date: January 9, 2024
Rated: 16+

As far as adventuring goes, supporting your party is a thankless job—even more so if you’re just a lowly red mage like Yuke Feldio. So, when he gets fed up with his A-rank party of total a-holes, he ditches them for some former students—a trio of girls who just looove his company. Thing is, to conquer the world’s greatest dungeon and achieve his dream, he’ll have to teach these cuties a thing or two…and he may just learn there’s more potential within him (and them) then he ever knew.

NYCC 2018: Kodansha Announces New Yaoi and Yuri Manga

Posted on by

In its tenth year of releasing manga in English, Kodansha Comics announced at New York Comic Con 2018 that it would join the publishers serving readers of yaoi (also known as “boys love”) and yuri manga in print in 2019. Kodansha said it would begin with three titles, all releasing Jan. 1: the yaoi series 10 Dance and Hitorijime My Hero, and the yuri comedy Yuri Is My Job!

Kodansha kicked off its entry into yaoi, a genre of male-male romance comics also known in Japan as “boys love,” with the announcement of the elegant romance 10 Dance by Satoh Inoue. The manga introduces two bitter rivals – dance champions known as the “kings of the ballroom” – who are forced to train together. The sweat and skill they display engenders a grudging respect that gradually develops into something more. Packed with muscular dancing and a classic yaoi plotline, 10 Dance is sure to appeal to fans of the genre.

A little more on the comedic side is the boys love series Memeko Arii’s Hitorijime My Hero, which was adapted into an anime last year that is now streaming on Amazon Prime and Hidive. A yaoi romance between a good boy who didn’t know he was waiting for a hero and a bad boy who comes to his rescue, the series is a natural next step for fans of 10 Countand Finder.

No genre of manga has grown more rapidly in recent years than yuri, romance comics that depict love between two girls, and Kodansha is getting into the game with Yuri Is My Job!, an uproarious comedy by Miman starring Hime, a high school girl who deeply cares about her image as a sweet, helpful princess but on the inside only cares about herself. Against her will, Hime gets manipulated into working as a waitress at a place that’s part café, part theater, where all the waitresses pretend to be students at a fictional German all-girls boarding school. Hime finds herself falling for another waitress at the café, who in front of the customers gives Hime love and devotion like she’s never known. There’s just one problem: Behind the scenes, Hime’s crush hates her guts.

The publisher said that these three titles are just the beginning. Kodansha Comics plans to release more yaoi and yuri manga in the future.
