During the KUMA/Denpa panel at Anime Expo, KUMA announced the acquisition of Ogreretsu Tanaka’s Boys-Love manga series, Mermaid Prince!

Colorful manga cover showing five young men in casual or shirtless poses, centered on a white-haired man lounging; romantic/友情 vibe with Japanese title art in pink-purple letters.

A cash-strapped young man’s life changes overnight when a mysterious organization shows up at his door and offers him 100 million yen for his rare genetics.

The catch? In order to claim the money, he must successfully father a child with an endangered male mermaid in order to save them from extinction!

No release date has been announced at this time.
