Zero Akabane Trans Manga Magical Girl in Yen Press April 2023 Solicits
Magical Girl by Zero Akabane is about a male office worker, trapped in a dead-end world, who finds they can transform into a female form.
Yen Press! As we all know from YouTube commentators, modern American comic books are failing in terms of sales (even though they inexplicable seem to be increasing) because the publishers and creators are just telling a series of woke political lectures, and this is why manga is also increasing sales in America because they don't have any of that woke nonsense. Anyway, here are the solicits for Yen Press and Yen On, who translate Japanese manga and light novels into English, for January 2023, where you won't see any kind of that woke malarky, I am sure.
Which is why in Yen Press' April 2023 solicits and solicitations, (though mostly out in May) we see Magical Girl Vol 1, a new manga by Zero Akabane about a male office worker, trapped in a dead end world, who finds they can transform into a magical female form.
