New License: Draw This, Then Die! Story and art by Minoru TOYODA. One wannabe manga artist is about to experience the reality of being a creator when she decides to jump into the world of manga. The award-winning manga about the ups and downs of creating manga and being an artist—soon to be an anime! Ai Yasumi, a first-year high schooler living on the remote island of Izu Ōshima, has one obsession: manga. When she discovers that her long-idolized but reclusive favorite manga creator, Yasuno-sensei, will make a rare appearance at Comitia, Ai doesn’t hesitate—she has to meet her hero. But that single decision sets off a chain of encounters that will shatter her assumptions about art, genius, and what it truly means to create. Winner of the 16th Manga Taisho Award and the 70th Shogakukan Manga Award—now an anime in the making! © 2026 Minoru TOYODA / SHOGAKUKAN. Available from Seven Seas Entertainment August 2026 (Print/Digital).

Brand-new license announcement! DRAW THIS, THEN DIE! by Minoru TOYODA. To be an artist is to sacrifice everything for your craft. The award-winning manga series about the ups and downs of creating manga and being an artist—soon to be an anime!
