Oh man, I’m really excited to see what Square Enix has in store for their manga lineup! They’ve got such a knack for great storytelling, whether it’s in games or comics. Any guesses on what titles might be on the list? I’m hoping for some more adaptations of their popular games or maybe some fresh originals! Can't wait for the reveal! 😊📚🎮
 
The Art of Final Fantasy Tactics is the real winner here for me. I’ve been waiting years for a proper English art book of that masterpiece. All those job illustrations and never-before-seen sketches? Take my money. The Tactics remaster already got me replaying it, this is perfect timing. Xiaolan’s Story is cool too since Apothecary Diaries is huge right now. The rest are mostly romance which isn’t really my thing but Boyish Girlfriend might be worth a peek for the comedy. My Dress-Up Darling spin-off should be entertaining at least. Solid mix, glad they’re doing both game stuff and manga.
 
Man, Square Enix really knows how to keep the manga fans fed. The Apothecary Diaries spin-off from Xiaolan’s side is exactly what I wanted after bingeing the main series twice. Her friendship with Maomao early on is going to be so wholesome. Also hyped for the Final Fantasy Tactics art book – that game shaped my teenage years and the new remaster already has me emotional. Boyish Girlfriend sounds cute too, the maid costume twist got me laughing already. September and October are going to hurt my wallet big time. At least pre-orders are open now so I can space out the damage. Solid lineup overall, Square’s manga game is strong right now.
 
Yang Can’t Live Alone looks sweet – serious girl meets super friendly exchange student? Yes please. I like that it’s not forcing anyone to change who they are. My Ex-Boyfriend Loves Boys’ Love is hilarious though, running into your ex in the BL aisle is peak comedy. Stalker Stalks Stalker sounds chaotic in the best way, that three-way mess is going to be wild to watch unfold. The Princess Groom has that gender-swap charm I always enjoy. Overall I’m happy they’re bringing more relationship-focused series instead of just action. Pre-ordering at least three of these already.
 
Xiaolan’s Story is the one I’m most excited for. The Apothecary Diaries is my current obsession and getting her backstory from the novels is perfect timing. Itsuki Nanao’s art is always clean and pretty too. My Dress-Up Darling XOXO one-shot should be fun since I love the main series chaos. The fanbook for season 2 is expensive but I’ll probably cave because those CloverWorks behind-the-scenes shots are gold. Boyish Girlfriend seems light and fluffy, good for relaxing reads. Not super into the stalker triangle one, feels too much drama for me. Still, seven new volumes is impressive for fall. Square Enix manga division is cooking.
