How to Grill Our Love/Small Nozomi and Big Yume/The World of Summoning (Kodansha)

Kodansha USA, one of North America's leading publishers of manga and anime content, has recently announced the licensing of three new manga titles: How to Grill Our Love, Small Nozomi & Big Yume, and The World of Summoning. These titles promise to bring a fresh and exciting perspective to the world of manga, each with a unique story line and compelling characters that are sure to captivate readers of all ages.

For instance, how to Grill Our Love is a romantic comedy that follows the story of 30-year-old Kenta, who meets the stoic graphic designer Chihiro, and after a quick courtship, they’re newlyweds! On the other hand, Small Nozomi & Big Yume is a charming tale about high schooler Nozomi Koiwa who wakes up and discovers she's lost her memories...and shrunk down in size. Now she must work with the airheaded Yume and convince her that she’s a figment of her imagination to save her from hitting rock bottom.

Lastly, The World of Summoning is a thrilling adventure that centers around Tokoyo, a young boy living in a world where creatures, items, and even space can be summoned from other worlds. Tokoyo must journey to the Fantasy District to become a summoner to help his Summoned friends, only to realize that his true mission is to become the bridge between humanity and the Summoned.

All three of these acclaimed mangas will be released in English digitally starting in early May.
