Dark Horse Manga announces a new, expansive lineup of Manga coming to English audiences in Fall 2026 and beyond. Read below to find out more!

SUICIDE ISLAND

In a story evoking both Lord of the Flies and Battle Royale, a young Japanese man, Sei, is transported to the mysterious, remote Suicide Island after a failed suicide attempt—where he must live the rest of his days or figure out how to die! With society turning its back on many suicidal citizens, the island fills up with haunted, driven characters, often in conflict with each other and sometimes barely holding onto sanity!

This series comes from Kouji Mori (Holyland, D Diver, Berserk), with translations by Kumar Sivasubramanian (I Am a Hero) and lettering by Eisner Award-nominated Steve Dutro (H.P. Lovecraft's The Dunwich Horror Deluxe Edition).

BABANBA BANBAN VAMPIRE

An unassuming worker in a long-established public bathhouse is really the lustful 450-year-old vampire Ranmaru Mori! The heir to this esteemed Koi No Yu Bathhouse, Rihito Tatsuno, is a fifteen-year-old virgin—who is about to fall in love for the first time with a girl in his class! Ranmaru begins to weave a desperate plan to prevent Rihito from losing his virginity and to make him fall for Ranmaru instead, so the bloodsucker can eventually have pure, eighteen-year-old virgin blood for his own vampiric self!

This hilarious, BL (Bloody Love 🧛‍♂️) manga series from Hiromasa Okujima has already been adapted into an anime and a live-action film! Translated by Kumar Sivasubramanian (I Am a Hero) and lettered by Eisner Award-nominated Steve Dutro (H.P. Lovecraft's The Dunwich Horror Deluxe Edition).

ASOBI ASOBASE OMNIBUS

Hanako, Olivia, and Kasumi are three Japanese schoolgirls who love to play games—so they create a special club for themselves to challenge each other to intense, over-the-top games and dares! As they struggle with their own unique personalities, they also struggle to make their group an official club in the eyes of the student council.

From Rin Suzukawa, this oversized omnibus series collects several original volumes into one trade paperback, with translations by Jongwoo Kim and lettering from Thiago Péres, Lucas Saguista, and Naaice. Asobase Omnibus Volume 1 collects Japanese volumes 1, 2, and 3, and part of Volume 4.

FORGET-ME-NOTStroll along the banks of the canals in beautiful Venice, Italy, and you’ll see the slacker—a young woman noodling on her guitar, pecking a bit at her laptop, and maybe getting a little reading in. But watch your step in this ancient town, because some of the other people you might run into—the ragged derelict, the drunken streetwalker, even that clean-cut gondolier—they’re all her, too! She’s Mariel Imari, of Italian and Japanese descent, whose skill at disguise comes from being part of a famous dynasty of detectives.

But Mariel hasn’t yet cracked the one case that would allow her to inherit her grandfather’s estate—Forget-me-not, the painting stolen from the mansion 22 years ago, which she needs to recover as a condition of his will. You see, Mariel is brilliant, but also a bit lazy and slovenly and bored…and about to be a bit embarrassed, too, when her sisters show up from Japan, under the impression that she's is rich! Will Mariel ever catch the master thief standing between her and an aristocratic lifestyle?

Created by Kenji Tsuruta (Emanon, Captain Momo’s Secret Base) with translation by Dana Lewis (Appleseed) and lettering by Susie Lee (GANTZ).

Forget-me-not Volume 1 (256 pages, 7.25 x 10.25”) arrives in bookstores and comic shops on January 5, 2027, for $29.99. Pre-order now from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or your local bookstore or comic shop. Visit (FYCS) or Bookshop.org for more details and stores near you.

H.P. Lovecraft’s The Dunwich Horror Deluxe Edition

Adapted into English by Zack Davisson, translator of the two-time Eisner Award-winning Showa: A History of Japan by Shigeru Mizuki, and lettered by the Eisner-nominated Steve Dutro (The Fifth Beatle).
