One thing we always get excited about is more romance manga in our lives. Crossed Hearts, which was launched in 2025 as a publisher for romance manga and manhwa, has revealed its slate of new releases in 2026, and it includes more than 30 new titles with physical editions. To help their titles stand out, Crossed Hearts is including plenty of bonus content in their upcoming books.
Crossed Hearts has also announced that they’re starting a new yuri imprint, Glam Beat!, to expand their romance offerings to girls love stories in different genres. They haven’t announced any new titles for the Glam Beat! imprint, but we’re more excited about the ambitious 30+ releases coming from Crossed Hearts in the next year. These include:
- Baroness Goes on Strike – January 13, 2026
- From a Knight to a Lady – February 10, 2026
- The Archduke’s Adopted Saint – April 28, 2026
- You’re Way Too Cheeky, Chigaya-kun! – May 22, 2026
- Darling, Why Don’t We Divorce? – July 14, 2026
- Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke’s Mansion – August 11, 2026
- The Abandoned Villainess Became a Zombie – September 1, 2026
These releases will come with a slew of bonus content in these first volumes, including journal pages, character art, and fold-out pages. There will also be limited editions of these releases for fans who want a little bit extra. This goes beyond what manga readers can typically expect from publishers – volumes often include a few pages of notes from the creator and maybe a bonus sketch or two. 2026 is clearly the year we’ll be reading more romance manga.
