Yen Press revealed on Wednesday that it has licensed author Himari Hino and illustrator Oriko Sakura's Four Child Life (Yotsugurashi) novel series for its JY for Kids middle-grade imprint for release on April 14, 2026. The company also announced audiobooks for the My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected, Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside, and Monsterholic novels for release in April 2026.

Yen Press describes the story of Four Child Life:

I thought I was all alone, but I'm actually a quadruplet?!

My name is Mifu Miyabi. For the past twelve years, I thought I had no family—no parents, no siblings. Little did I know, my world was about to get turned upside down by not one, not two, but three identical sisters showing up out of nowhere! Sure, we all grew up leading separate lives, but now we have to figure out how to live together under one roof. It may be hard to tell us apart just by looking, but we're much more different than you'd think. This is how our time as a family begins!

Hino and Sakura debuted the light novel series in October 2018. The novels' 21st volume shipped in Japan on July 9. Their manga adaptation debuted in Kadokawa's Comptiq magazine in February 2021. Kadokawa published the manga's fifth compiled book volume on July 10.
