During Anime Expo 2026, Omoi revealed several new manga licenses and additions to its service that will be available throughout the year. Some of the licenses include Walking Home with You, Shonen Racket, Natsume & Natsume: More Perfume, and more.
While story details and a release date for one of the new manga, Natsume & Natsume: More Perfume by Shunsuke Sorato, the list of the other new licenses include:
Walking Home with You by Mai Matsuda – Releases in Late Summer 2026
Shun was the star of his middle school’s soccer team, until an injury forced him to give up on his dream. Now in high school, he’s adrift, with no real interests or passions … until he meets his oddball upperclassman Naoki. She ropes him into joining her unofficial “Hyper-Epic Heading Home Club,” a club with only one member dedicated to turning every walk home into an adventure. As Shun follows Naoki through her flights of fancy in search of elaborate detours, secret treasures, and anything else that catches her attention, can the Heading Home Club bring color back to his drab everyday life?
Shonen Racket by Kakeru Kakemaru – Releases on July 20, 2026
A year ago, Ichiro lost his father — and all his memories — to a tragic fire. Since then, he’s struggled to piece together his old life. One day Jorgen, a table tennis prodigy who once lost a match to Ichiro, shows up searching for his old rival, only to find Ichiro doesn’t remember him at all! But when the two boys face off at the table again, Ichiro begins to remember his forgotten past and rediscover his passion for the sport. Ichiro and Jorgen’s fateful reunion kicks off an exhilarating sports saga about the boys and girls who have staked their youth on the world’s fastest sport: table tennis!
The Sword of Paros by Yumiko Igarashi and Kaoru Kurimoto – Releases in December 2026
The legends that speak of the Sword of Paros say that it can bestow either prosperity or ruin on its kingdom…depending on the heart of its wielder. The kingdom’s current princess, the beautiful yet resentful Elminia, laments being treated as a soulless tool simply for being born in a woman’s body. Accompanied by Count Yulias, Elminia rides as far away from the kingdom’s politics as possible. One day, Elminia meets a beautiful young girl named Fiona, and their lives and the kingdom are changed forever.
