Secondhand Sisters
By Battan

JP Title: けむたい姉とずるい妹

Debut Date: Spring 2026

Ever since they were girls, charismatic and carefree Ran has had a habit of “borrowing” her sister Jun’s favorite things and making them her own.

The two haven’t spoken in eight years when they’re reunited at their mother’s funeral. Ran and her husband—Jun’s ex—want to move into the house their mother left behind, but Jun will be damned if she lets Ran take one more thing away from her. With neither side willing to budge, the three find themselves living under the same roof, and it’s not long before old resentments, secrets, and passions threaten to unravel their lives. A Kodansha Print Club series from the acclaimed author of Run Away With Me, Girl.

New Volume of a KPC Favorite Arrives This Spring

Teppu 4
By Moare Ohta

JP Title:  鉄風

Debut Date: Spring 2026

After her first amateur fight ends in a swift KO, Natsuo is disappointed…not in her dominant performance, but because the win came too easy, a far cry from the brutal challenge that she craves. When she finds out that her rival Yuzuko Mawatari will be entering the rookie selection competition for the big G-Girl tournament at the end of the year, it lights a fire under her. She trains single-mindedly for the chance to pummel Yuzuko’s little face in the ring, but her coach thinks it’s far too soon to be entering a competition of that caliber, full of killer fighters…a prospect that makes Natsuo only more hungry.
