Alien Books is expanding its catalog with three new manga licenses set for release in Fall 2026. The publisher announced acquisitions for Toryumon Takeda's Badducks, Mita Rokuju's Akatsubaki, and Natsumi Inoue and Keita Sugaware's Kill Logger.
Badducks will be the latest addition to Alien Books' fantasy and sci-fi offerings. The story follows Morgan Gray, a man who becomes a powerful cyborg after selling his organs to settle a debt and undergoing an experimental procedure. Forced into mob servitude, Morgan escapes with a woman named Lisa and a stolen briefcase containing a baby. The trio faces a perilous journey as they are pursued by dangerous criminals.
Details regarding the plots for Akatsubaki and Kill Logger have not yet been revealed, but their inclusion alongside Badducks signals Alien Books' continued commitment to bringing diverse titles to the market.
