emaqi has announced that they are bringing seven brand-new manga titles to their digital platform this month!
The titles include:
Delinquents Can’t Cut Cake
Story: Koji Miyaguchi
Art: Masakazu Suzuki
Publisher: SHINCHOSHA Publishing Co., Ltd.
Genre: Seinen, Drama, Professional
Among the delinquent youth incarcerated in a juvenile training school, there’s a significant number with borderline intellectual functioning. The latest work from Masakazu Suzuki, author of “「子供を殺してください」という親たち” (not translated)! A manga adaptation of the nonfiction bestseller that sold over 600,000 copies, exploring the dark realities of youth detention and mental disability.
Team comment: Many readers will likely have their assumptions about what’s “normal” profoundly shaken by the opening scene where someone can’t divide a cake into three equal pieces. Scene by scene, you’re confronted with the reality of how to face people for whom effort itself is fundamentally difficult, before we even talk about demanding effort from them.
We highly recommend this to readers who find joy in having their worldview challenged by discovering unknown realities.

Publisher: COAMIX Inc.

Team comment: Japan’s diverse mail-order food culture comes to delicious life through the characters’ authentic first-bite reactions.

Author: Ui Ohno

Genre: Seinen, Fantasy, Rom-com
My big master is 100cm taller than me, and an adorable, gentle giant! Hinata, a boy who dreams of wielding magic, becomes the apprentice of Esmeralda, a witch towering at 240cm tall. What begins as instruction in the magical arts is slowly twisted into something more by Esmeralda’s affection for Hinata. Is this a teacher’s platonic love for her pupil? Or something more?! Find out in this romantic comedy about a master and her apprentice, filled with laughs and heartwarming moments♪
Team comment: True to its title, the relationship between this “big” witch and her disciple—with a 100-centimeter height difference—feels irresistibly endearing.
The sometimes overly intimate physical contact will have even readers blushing uncontrollably. Please immerse yourself blissfully in the master’s “overwhelming love”.
