Back in October 2025, Manga Planet announced it would be closing its doors, leaving readers wondering what would become of their favorite titles—especially the platform’s extensive library of independent Boys’ Love manga.
Now we finally have an answer.
In a post on the official futekiya Instagram page, the company revealed that Manga Planet and futekiya titles will transfer to Renta!, a popular digital comics platform. The move ensures that readers who purchased titles will retain access, though the company noted this depends on “publisher agreements or purchase model.” In other words, not every title may make the jump, and access could vary based on how you originally acquired them.
Why This Matters
Manga Planet and futekiya carved out a unique space in the digital manga landscape. Beyond mainstream releases, they held licenses for numerous independent BL titles that simply weren’t available anywhere else. For fans of niche or creator-driven Boys’ Love, the platforms were often the only legal option.
The transfer to Renta! preserves at least some of that catalog, offering a lifeline for readers who worried those stories might disappear entirely.
The announcement left several questions unanswered. Which specific titles are covered by the transfer? Will futekiya’s subscription model carry over, or will everything shift to Renta!’s existing pay-per-title structure? And what about readers who purchased volumes but find their favorites excluded due to publisher agreements?
The company offered no further details, leaving fans to wait for additional updates.
For now, readers should keep an eye on their email and social media for transfer instructions. If you purchased titles on Manga Planet or subscribed to futekiya, you’ll likely receive guidance on how to access your library on Renta! in the coming weeks.
It’s not a perfect solution, but it’s better than the alternative. In an era where digital content can vanish overnight, seeing a preservation effort—even a partial one—is a small victory for BL fans.
