Manga Planet is happy to announce the print releases of two new Boys’ Love (BL) titles Perfect Propose by Mayo Tsurukame and Try & I Love You by echo through the futekiya imprint.
The new print editions are now open for pre-order via Kinokuniya USA’s online store, and will be available for early-bird sale at Anime NYC 2025 (New York) from August 21st to 24th at the Kinokuniya USA booth (#321).
Perfect Propose by Mayo Tsurukame
“We were so close we promised to marry each other!”
Hiro Watari has spent the last five years sustained on sad instant ramen meals, working 16-hour days with no weekends. It’s no surprise when Hiro passes out from overwork in the middle of the sidewalk. It is surprising when Hiro’s long-lost childhood friend Kai Fukaya wakes him up and asks if he can stay with him. With Kai in his life acting like his fiancé(!?), will Hiro let work slowly kill him, or will he finally learn how to live… and love?
Following a live-action adaptation in 2024, Perfect Propose’s English edition is finally in print!

Try & I Love You by echo
“Why don’t we try dating?”
Takumi did not expect his childhood friend Ren to say those words while wallowing over his third failed relationship that year. Sure, Takumi thinks Ren is earnest and punctual and kind and… and he’s caring and they share the same interests but… wait, are they actually a good match for each other!?
Try & I Love You is a butterflies-inducing slice-of-life about childhood friends exploring a new development in their relationship through trial and (sometimes) error.
