Digital manga platform and publisher Azuki announced a quartet of new licenses during its Otakon 2025 panel today, including new indie manga from publishers Manga Mavericks and Star Fruit Books. From the former we have ALTERNATIVE [SELF LINER NOTE] , BONDS and Zigoku’s Foreman to dig into, with the latter adding in Treime . All four new titles are available to read via Azuki’s iOS, Android, and Web apps starting today. ALTERNATIVE [SELF LINER NOTE]   Manga Mavericks by Chiaki Yagura Synopsis: “The good die young.” There’s a whole movement of entertainers who by 27 years old had left their mark on the world, including my God. At 28, what have I done? Am I worthy to stand on the same stage? Why does my gospel stay unwritten? A story about music, creative slumps, and letting it all out. BONDS   Manga Mavericks by ZENZO Synopsis: In an alternate take on “Journey to the West”, Son Goku and Sanzo have only just begun their long journey, and trust doesn’t come easily. Their already shaky bond is tested further when Sanzo’s misgivings lead to a rift between the two. Is the journey over before it even begins, or is it true that adversity is what forges unshakable bonds? RELATED: Our Aimless Nights Manga Coming to Print from Azuki, Random House’s Ink Pop Zigoku's Foreman   Manga Mavericks by 9banta Synopsis: Meet the literal boss from hell. Mizuchi, once a human, died, went to hell, and became an unruly demon. Though he’s not just any demon: he’s a foreman with underlings who make up a motley crew. With a magic sword and super strength, some hellish construction work should be a snap, but Mizuchi and his crew are hellbent on doing anything aside from their work. Treime   Star Fruit Books by Gamu-Chan Synopsis: He glared into the darkness thinking he was prepared for what would stare back, however… There's no one who hates Vampires more than Arglont Von Byron, a top caliber hunter of the bloodsucking breed, despite never personally being hurt by one. When the chance comes for him to eradicate Abraham, a vampire who has been a 500-year-old blight on his clan, he's ready to do what comes naturally. However, upon reaching his target he quickly finds out why this kill has eluded defeat. Is he destined to be another casualty, or is their clash only the prelude to something more?
