The KUMA boys' love (BL) publisher announced during its panel at Anime NYC on Saturday that it has licensed Nemui Asada's Takatora and the Omegas (Takatora-kun to Omega-tachi, also known as Takatora in the Omegas) manga.

Asada debuted the manga in Printemps Publishing's Canna magazine in December 2022. The manga's second compiled book volume shipped in Japan on July 30.

The omegaverse manga takes place at a special academy where the children of the elite gather. Within the academy, Takatora is part of the "Alpha Special Class." He is the heir to one of the most distinguished families, and is known for his physique, intellect, handsomeness, and overwhelming charisma. There's no one at the academy who doesn't know him. But one day, Takatora's physical condition changes, and he starts to exhibit the "heat" symptoms of an omega.

Asada launched the Loved Circus manga in Canna in 2015, and Printemps Publishing released the manga in one compiled volume in Japan in December 2015. Tokyopop published the manga in English.

Asada's ongoing Madara Moyō no Yoi (Yoi with Mottled Skin) manga debuted on Shogakukan's Manga ONE app in June 2023.

Manga Planet added Asada's Admonition from an Elder Brother (Ani no Chūkoku) manga in August 2023.

Additionally, KUMA confirmed its license of Shikke's Fukutsu no Zono manga, which is listed with a release date of June 23, 2026.

Denpa also confirmed the following release schedule at the panel: Vampeerz volume 6 (fall 2025), Renjoh Desperado volume 1 (fall 2025), Under Ninja volume 7 (fall 2025), Heavenly Delusion volume 8 (fall 2025), Baby Bear's Bakery part 4 (fall 2025), Holiday Junction (winter 2026), and Fish Society (winter 2026).

Update: Updated with additional title information from the panel.
