Kodansha’s Licensing Event: Day 2 Announcements

The manga world is buzzing as Kodansha rolls into day two of its big licensing reveal spectacle. Hardcore fans, gather around—Kodansha is bringing the heat and putting smiles on faces with some major announcements that are too juicy to ignore.

Kodansha’s Box Set Goldmine

Our beloved warrior of love and justice is back, and she’s packing square in Kodansha’s latest offering. The Sailor Moon Naoko Takeuchi Collection Box Set 2 is slotted for a Fall 2025 release. This sparkling set completes the main series and throws in the Codename: Sailor V prequel for good measure.

The magic kicked off with a talking cat and a clumsy teen, Usagi, who discovers her destiny as Sailor Moon. High on heart and low on grades, Usagi’s transformation into a guardian of justice is a tale as classic as it is heartwarming. Recommended for readers aged 13 and above, this collection is bound to be a must-have piece of manga history.

Kodansha Print Club Breakthrough

In October last year, Kodansha teased the launch of its Print Club, tantalizing manga fans with the promise of print-on-demand glory. The wait is over. The program’s spearhead trio—Fujimomo’s “Love, That’s An Understatement,” Moare Ohta’s “Teppu,” and Narumi Shigematsu’s “Blade Girl”—will soon hit shelves.

Heads up! These treasures become available next week, so it’s a race to place your orders. However, availability will depend on your friendly neighborhood retailer, so check in first before your manga dreams take flight. If you’re ordering from a U.S. outlet for international delivery, there might be some hoops to jump through with shipping. Prices and schedules can vary, so stay sharp and confirm details with your retailer before sealing the deal.

Going Global With Kodansha Print Club

For those outside the U.S., stay tuned as Kodansha works to expand its reach. Updates on international availability are incoming, promising an even wider spread of their print magic.

Retailers eyeing these Print Club gems can dive into Kodansha’s site for all the juicy how-tos on stocking up.

Final Day Anticipation

As the curtains fall on day two, manga enthusiasts are already on their toes for the final day of Kodansha’s reveal marathon. The promise of complete Sailor Moon collections is a love letter to longtime fans. Others are hoping for snippets of the new and exciting when tomorrow’s curtains rise.

Catch the grand Kodansha finale and all its splendor. Until then, keep those imaginations fueled and those manga shelves wide open!
