Ize Press teased fans on four new licenses leading up to Sakura Con, and it did not disappoint.

Yen Press’s imprint, which focuses on Korean manhwa and webnovels, announced it had licensed four new manhwa, two of which are popular BL series. These four titles will release in the latter part of the year. Which ones are you excited to read?

Merry Marbling

PENGKI

Six volumes

Ian Ha has been in the spotlight since he was a child, heralded as an angel after an act of kindness makes local headlines. He’s perfected his public persona as the ever-popular impeccable model student, and high school seems to be no different—that is, until the arrival of a boy unlike anybody he’s ever met before. Not only is Yugun Baek unmoved by Ian’s kind and friendly gestures, but his prickly and brash nature seems to draw out all the worst sides of him! The two are like oil and water…so why do they keep getting mixed up with each other?!

Merry Marbling is available to read digitally on Lezhin.

Reunion

Art: Deulsum

Original Story: 2coin

Five volumes

Seven years ago, Hakyung Lee accepted an offer to impersonate a dead girl. The plan was simple—he would pose as his childhood friend, Jiyoung Han, and convince a rich grandpa on his deathbed he wasn’t a fraud. It’d only be for one summer, and once it was over, Hakyung would walk away with the funds to pay for his mother’s hospital care and medication. And everything seemed to be smooth sailing—until Yoonsung Jang rushed to his grandfather’s side, determined to expose Hakyung as a fake. Except he doesn’t…and as the two spend more time together, the carefully placed walls between them begin to crumble. Now, in the present day, Yoonsung steps into the very bar where Hakyung works.

Reunion is available to read digitally on Manta. Volume 1 releases in October.

On the Way to Meet Mom

GOMYANG

Two volumes

After he is found in an abandoned building, a strange feral child named Mori is taken to an orphanage where he finds friends, shelter, and even a patron. He has all he needs to be happy and content in his little corner of the world—or so he thinks, until one day, his best friend’s mother returns to bring her home. Watching their reunion, Mori begins to wonder if he, too, has one somewhere out there… Surely, he must, right? So begins one little boy’s perilous journey across the lands to find his mother!

Wrong! So, so, wrong! Everything is a mess—this secret task force is threatening the very safety he longed for, the monsters they fight are weirdly drawn to him, and the people on his team are total nutjobs!
