Indonesian publisher M&C! announced last week that it has licensed Ao Mimori's How Can I Say Goodbye? (Sayonara Dekiru kana) and Rin Mamiya's After School Love Age (Hōkago Love Age) manga. It will release both books on September 6.

M&C! describes the title story of the How Can I Say Goodbye? short manga collection:

Kao has been in love with Shuhei for quite some time. She's confessed her feelings to him many times before, and has been rejected sternly every time. Shuhei does it to all the girls. Every girl that confesses to him must come prepared to be rejected, as he is always faithful to his girlfriend. But one day, Shuhei and his girlfriend split up, and Kao finds him in a sorry state. Even though she's not his girlfriend, Kao wants to make Shuhei smile again. Can she do it?

How Can I Say Goodbye? collects four short manga stories. The title story ran in Shueisha's Bessatsu Margaret Sister magazine in December 2012. The "Love Pattern - Girl's Side" story ran in Shueisha's Deluxe Margaret magazine in May 2010. The "Love Pattern - Boy's Side" story ran in Bessatsu Margaret Sister in September 2010.

The title story centers on Akabane, a high school student who, after losing a game of bridge, has his romantic feelings for classmate Satsuki revealed by friends. While he denies the claims, Satsuki also seems to like him too.

The book also contains the short manga "half a year -Kimi to 6-kagetsu," "Kirai Kirai mo?," "Kimi ni Yell o!," and "Kirai Kirai mo? Bangai-hen ~Mafuyu no Hatsu Date~."
