Digital manga service Omoi has announced a new slate of manga series joining its platform this year during its industry panel at Anime Expo 2026.
The new manga include four exclusive titles that will be available in English for the first time under the service’s premium subscription, as well as catalog additions from Red String Manga, Square Enix Manga & Books, and Manga Mavericks Books.
Here are the details on Omoi’s latest additions:
Walking Home with You
Story and Art: Mai Matsuda
From the creator of American Manga Awards nominee Hikaru in the Light!
The manga was originally published in Japan by Futabasha under the name Houkago Kitaku Biyori and will launch later this summer with localization produced by Omoi.
Synopsis:
Shun was the star of his middle school’s soccer team, until an injury forced him to give up on his dream. Now in high school, he’s adrift, with no real interests or passions … until he meets his oddball upperclassman Naoki. She ropes him into joining her unofficial “Hyper-Epic Heading Home Club,” a club with only one member dedicated to turning every walk home into an adventure. As Shun follows Naoki through her flights of fancy in search of elaborate detours, secret treasures, and anything else that catches her attention, can the Heading Home Club bring color back to his drab everyday life?
Shonen Racket
Story and Art: Kakeru Kakemaru
A sports manga series that was originally published in Japan by Akita Shoten. The series will launch on July 20, 2026 with localization produced by Omoi.
Synopsis:
A year ago, Ichiro lost his father — and all his memories — to a tragic fire. Since then, he’s struggled to piece together his old life. One day Jorgen, a table tennis prodigy who once lost a match to Ichiro, shows up searching for his old rival, only to find Ichiro doesn’t remember him at all! But when the two boys face off at the table again, Ichiro begins to remember his forgotten past and rediscover his passion for the sport. Ichiro and Jorgen’s fateful reunion kicks off an exhilarating sports saga about the boys and girls who have staked their youth on the world’s fastest sport: table tennis!
Natsume & Natsume: More Perfume
Story and Art: Shunsuke Sorato
The series is a sequel to the Natsume & Natsume manga and was originally published in Japan by Micro Magazine. More story and release date details will be announced in the near future.
Description:
Natsume & Natsume: More Perfume by Shunsuke Sorato is the sequel to Omoi’s hit high-school romantic-comedy Natsume & Natsume, following the titular characters, a high school boy and girl both named Natsume, in their college years and beyond as their relationship grows deeper.
The Sword of Paros
Story: Kaoru Kurimoto
Art: Yumiko Igarashi
The manga will be available as an Omoi digital exclusive title through a partnership with Manga Mavericks Books, who will be releasing it in English print in April 2027.
The series was originally published in Japan by Fairbell.
Synopsis:
The legends that speak of the Sword of Paros say that it can bestow either prosperity or ruin on its kingdom…depending on the heart of its wielder. The kingdom’s current princess, the beautiful yet resentful Elminia, laments being treated as a soulless tool simply for being born in a woman’s body. Accompanied by Count Yulias, Elminia rides as far away from the kingdom’s politics as possible. One day, Elminia meets a beautiful young girl named Fiona, and their lives and the kingdom are changed forever.
