Crossed Hearts announced the inaugural title for its newest imprint, GLAM BEAT!, a label dedicated exclusively to Yuri, Baihe, and Girls’ Love narratives. The title is called Borrowing Your Textbook.
The imprint will launch with Borrowing Your Textbook 175160, a heartfelt and intimate high-school yuri manga by creator Taa RO, scheduled for release in April 2026. This title marks the first of a carefully curated slate of 12 GL releases planned for GLAM BEAT!’s inaugural year, reinforcing Crossed Hearts’ long-term commitment to emotionally grounded, character-driven romance and intimate storytelling that resonates deeply with readers.
Crossed Hearts describes the store of Borrowing Your Textbook as follows:
Su Yao is 175 cm tall and painfully aware of it.
Liu Xi is 160 cm tall, close enough that Su Yao never quite knows where to place her hands, her gaze, or her heart.It begins with an excuse too small to question.
“Can I borrow your textbook?”One excuse becomes another.
A shared desk.
A sleeve gently tugged.
A smile warm enough to linger.Su Yao tells herself she’s only being thoughtful. Only being kind. But every time Liu Xi tilts her head and looks up, something inside her falters.
Between after-school corridors and stolen glances, the distance between them tightens until breathing feels dangerous and standing still feels worse.
What if she reaches out?
What if she doesn’t?Borrowing Your Textbook175160 captures the aching sweetness of first love and the fragile courage it takes to reach for it. It is a high-school yuri romance about first love, unspoken longing, and the aching sweetness of wanting someone already within arm’s reach—and wishing, desperately, to be closer still.
Tender. Intimate. Achingly sweet.
