Kodama Tales announced on June 29, 2026, that it licensed Hiroshi Takahashi's Crows for an English-language release. The volume is scheduled to ship between January and April 2027. The license was part of a five-title slate that also included Tetsuo Hara's Cyber Blue, Jiro Matsumoto's Beautiful Place, Shiten Akiyama's Horizon, and Hanaichi Nozaki and Shiro Yoshida's Casino Gui.

Ten days earlier, on June 19, 2026, the first volume of Dustland, the official sequel to Crows and the related series Worst, went on sale in Japan. The series runs in Young Champion and follows a delinquent boy named Asada Hibari in the Utsusemi district. Eight figures, including actor Shun Oguri and rapper R-Shitei, contributed commemorative comments for the release.

The two stories establish that Crows is being brought to an English audience for the first time by Kodama Tales, while its narrative continues in Dustland, which is currently serialized in Japan. No further volumes or release dates beyond the initial window have been announced for either title.
