Of course, we got plenty of shojo manga this year as well (even if it continues to be a struggle to get anyone - even the publishers - to make a big deal out of it). We even got some new titles from older, proven creators like this one.
TEPPEKI HONEYMOON (Teppeki Hanimun), by Meca Tanaka. First published in 2018 and first published in North America in 2025.
PLOT:
Ena's been trying to hold her family business together with nothing but hard work and her unusual strength, but that alone can't save her from the millions of yen in debt hanging over her head. A chance encounter with a strange young man leads to her getting summoned to the Kugo security company. They want only the strongest young woman to marry their son Kanae, but Kanae just wants them to stop so he live and work in peace. Eventually he and Ena come to an agreement: he'll pay off her debts in full if she's willing to pose as his fiancé for two months. That sounds simple enough, but what happens when the lines between reality and the ruse start to blur?
