In this episode, we’ll cover Kodansha’s upcoming manga releases scheduled for the autumn of 2026, showcasing a diverse range of genres. One standout title is AIDOL, a supernatural thriller that examines the perilous obsession of a fan who uses electronic powers to manipulate an idol's career. In contrast, the series NakiNagi offers a gentle story about a witch learning human emotions while assisting a new friend with romantic struggles. For readers seeking lighter fare, Say Hello to Mr. Wallaby! chronicles the comedic cultural exchange between a Japanese academic and a literate, Japan-obsessed marsupial. Together, these announcements highlight the publisher's commitment to delivering varied storytelling, ranging from dark psychological drama to whimsical adventures. More licensing reveals are expected to follow, ensuring a dynamic season for enthusiasts of Japanese comics.
