This expansion was unveiled during Mangamo’s panel at Anime NYC on Friday.
Diving into the New Additions
The latest wave of licenses brings a diverse range of genres and stories to Mangamo’s growing collection, catering to various reader preferences.
My Gyaru Wife’s Secrets (Gal Yome no Himitsu)
Authored by KUDOO, My Gyaru Wife’s Secrets (original Japanese title: Gal Yome no Himitsu) introduces readers to a compelling narrative. The specifics of its plot are yet to be fully detailed, but the title suggests a romantic comedy or slice-of-life story with a mysterious edge revolving around a “gyaru” wife.
12cm Promise with a Cool Girl (Kakkoii Onnanoko to 12-centi no Yakusoku)
From Ziki Masaya, 12cm Promise with a Cool Girl (original Japanese title: Kakkoii Onnanoko to 12-centi no Yakusoku) is another intriguing addition. This title hints at a romantic or heartwarming story, possibly involving a significant height difference or a symbolic “12cm promise” between the characters.
Damedol and the Only Fan in the World (Damedol to Sekai ni Hitori dake no Fan)
Kishirimo’s Damedol and the Only Fan in the World (original Japanese title: Damedol to Sekai ni Hitori dake no Fan) is set to explore themes around idol culture, focusing on an “unpopular” idol and her singular devoted fan. This could offer a unique perspective on the entertainment industry and fan devotion.
I’m That Monster Girl You Once Helped Out: A Middle-Aged Teacher Finds Unexpected Popularity in Another World (“Ano Toki Tasukete Itadaita Monster Musume Desu.” Isekai Ossan Kyōshi Totsuzen no Moteki ni Konwaku Suru)
This lengthy title by Okinosuke, I’m That Monster Girl You Once Helped Out: A Middle-Aged Teacher Finds Unexpected Popularity in Another World, is a clear entry into the popular isekai genre. It promises a humorous and potentially heartwarming adventure where a middle-aged teacher is transported to another world and finds himself unexpectedly popular with “monster girls” he previously assisted.
I Offer My Manliness To You (Kimi ni Sasageru Otokomae)
The final title in this new batch is Fuminosuke’s I Offer My Manliness To You (original Japanese title: Kimi ni Sasageru Otokomae). The title suggests a romance or comedy series centered around a character’s “manliness” and their dedication to another.
