Hakusensha is running its LaLa anniversary push alongside a fragile slate: a LaLa DX series is finishing and a LaLa Icha LaLa title has been moved to Manga Park, while a licensing deal with Comikey is opening older shojo catalogue titles to English digital readers.
Hakusensha's recent news is mostly about where its manga sit rather than what they are. In October, Yuri Hoshiai's Goku to Mitsu: After Champagne Call moved off the digital extra issue LaLa Icha LaLa and onto the Manga Park app, with weekly Saturday updates and a coin campaign running October 10 to October 16. In the same month, the LaLa DX magazine said Yuki Kure's Ayame-san Chi no Geshuku-nin will end with its next chapter in the December 4 issue, roughly a year and a half after it launched in June 2025.
The catalogue is also moving outward. Comikey said in August it would release several Hakusensha shojo titles in English digitally, starting with sora's Crashout Schoolgirl and Degen Teacher and including Gakuen Babysitters, Kare Kano, and Moon Child. In October, Comikey added Mato Kauta's The Wolf King's Bride, a 19-volume LaLa series that ran from 2009 to 2018 and had no previous English release.
New material keeps arriving alongside the older titles. Sekina Aoi's Asobi no Kankei novels are being adapted into a manga by Koruri in Young Animal from September 25. The 50th anniversary of LaLa got a collaboration PV pairing Tamaki Suoh from Ouran High School Host Club, voiced by Mamoru Miyano, with Takumi Usui from Maid-sama!, voiced by Nobuhiko Okamoto, and a special advertisement using the video is at Animate Ikebukuro Main Store.

Comikey licensed Mato Kauta's The Wolf King's Bride manga and released the first five chapters digitally, with new chapters every Friday. Kauta serialized the title in Hakusensha's LaLa magazine from 2009 to 2018; it ran 19 volumes and had no previous English release. Comikey had said in August it would release several Hakusensha shojo titles in English digitally and teased an image that included this manga.
Yuri Hoshiai's manga Goku to Mitsu: After Champagne Call begins its relocated serialization on Hakusensha's Manga Park app from Saturday, October 10, 2026, with updates scheduled every Saturday. A reading challenge campaign runs October 10 to October 16, giving 5 bonus coins to readers who finish the first chapter. The work previously ran in the digital extra issue LaLa Icha LaLa.
The November issue of Hakusensha's LaLa DX magazine announced on Monday that Yuki Kure's Ayame-san Chi no Geshuku-nin manga will end with its next chapter in the magazine's next issue on December 4. The magazine publishes a new issue every two months. Kure launched the series in LaLa DX in June 2025, and Hakusensha released the first compiled volume on April 3.
Hakusensha's Young Animal magazine announced that Sekina Aoi's Asobi no Kankei novels will be adapted into a manga by Koruri, starting in the next issue on September 25. Kurehito Misaki is credited as character designer. The story follows Kotarou Tokiwa, a substitute manager at a board game cafe who invents an imaginary girlfriend to hide his crush on a coworker.
Comikey announced on August 17 it will release several shojo manga from Hakusensha's catalogue in English digitally. The first title is sora's Crashout Schoolgirl and Degen Teacher, with seven chapters available now. Comikey said the lineup will include manga without prior official English releases. Other titles pictured include Gakuen Babysitters, Kare Kano, and Moon Child.
Hakusensha released a collaboration PV for the 50th anniversary of its shoujo manga magazine LaLa. The video features Tamaki Suoh from Ouran High School Host Club voiced by Mamoru Miyano and Takumi Usui from Maid-sama! voiced by Nobuhiko Okamoto. The two characters engage in a lavish exchange while introducing anniversary initiatives. A special advertisement using the video is on display at Animate Ikebukuro Main Store in Tokyo.
