The US-based publisher Crossed Hearts disclosed the launch of Studio Hearts at Anime NYC as a new initiative. This new imprint plans to announce a variety of new titles aimed at fans of manga and novels.
The Appeal of New Licensed Works
In addition to its existing licenses, Crossed Hearts unveiled several new works. Prominent titles include 'The Two of Them Can't Be Mobs' and 'Love Beyond the Final Boss: The Hero's Party's Quest for Love.' Furthermore, Studio Hearts plans to release original works such as 'A Kiss Before the Gunshot' and 'Doomsday Requiem With You.' These works are expected to create a new wave in the manga and novel world.
Expansion of Multinational Partnerships
Crossed Hearts also decided to partner with Thai girls' love publisher Lily House to distribute titles in English. This partnership will allow Asian works to reach a broader English-speaking market.
Diverse Imprint Lineup
Additionally, Crossed Hearts is launching a new imprint, 'A Novel Press,' to venture into light novels and anthologies. Projects like 'Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion' and 'The Abandoned Villainess Became a Zombie' are set to be released under this new imprint for the first time.
Cross Hearts' works are also expected to be added soon to Kadokawa's BookWalker Global store catalog, bringing more works to English-speaking readers.
