Kodansha and Tokyopop recently announced that they will be publishing some new shoujo and josei manga titles! As always, I judge what demographic a series is by how cmao organizes them. Let’s take a look at all the new upcoming manga.
Please note that I only include manga rated PG 16 and under in these posts.
Kodansha
A Kiss With a Cat, coming Spring 2026

- Written by: Miko Senri
- Other series by this author: The Demon King is Way Too Overprotective
- Have I read it yet?: Yes, but I haven’t completed the series. I enjoyed it enough to buy digitals, and will continue reading eventually! It’s not as ~romantic~ as their other series, but it’s still a fun read.
- Premise: This is a romance fantasy series, about a girl who adores cats, and her classmate who secretly is able to transform into a cat.
This series has already been available to read digitally for a while now, but Kodansha is officially adding it to their Kodansha Print Club!
