Gacha Girls Corps Double Feature and More!



Kaiten Books Winter 2023 Update


Torrance, CA - Friday, January 27, 2023:

A Happy New Year from all of us at Kaiten Books! It’s been unusually cold over here in California, but we hope you’re enjoying getting settled into 2023 as we make our way through January. What better way to kick things off with some announcements to ring in the new year!

First off, new digital releases! Look forward to catching up with Heihachi and the girls in Gacha Girls Corps Vol. 4 (manga) when it releases digital-first today, January 27th, 2023. We also have Loner Life in Another World Vol. 8 (manga) available for preorder and ready to release on February 14th, 2023 for a nice Valentine’s Day surprise! And while it does not have a fixed release date at the moment, we thought it would be a good idea to let you know to expect The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting Vol. 6 some time in March 2023, so keep your eyes peeled for updates.

We are also happy to announce we have new print releases on the horizon! It’s a Gacha Girls double feature with the physicals for Gacha Girls Corps Vol. 2 (manga) going on sale today, January 27th, 2023. In even more good news, the final volume of the VTuber Dad trilogy is finally coming to print as well! My Dad’s the Queen of All VTubers?! Vol. 3 is hitting store shelves on March 3rd, 2023. This marks our first completed series in print, so be sure to grab a copy to experience the finale of Takashi and his terminally online parents to celebrate the occasion! As always, pre-orders can be made through RightStuf, Book Depository, Amazon, and more, with links to each storefront up on our website as they become available.



For those that had a hard time finding The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting Vol. 1 over the holidays, we are happy to report the latest reprint has hit our distributor and should be available at all your favorite storefronts. They are still going fast as ever, so be sure to grab yours while you can!


It has been a long time coming, but we are finally in the process of adding our ebooks to other digital platforms as well! We will be slowly rolling out our current catalog to services such as Kobo, iBooks, and more in the coming weeks, so keep an eye on your platform of choice.


We wanted to thank everyone for making 2022 such a great year for us, and we look forward to an even better one in 2023!

A Brand New Series Rises to the Top?!



Kaiten Books Fall 2022 Update


Torrance, CA - Friday, October 14, 2022:

With the changing of the seasons upon us, it’s time for another update from us at Kaiten Books! Let’s cut to the chase and see what’s in the pipeline as the year starts to wind down:

First and foremost, we have a brand-new license to announce! Follow the misadventures of Rize Babalon as he bluffs his way into becoming a bona-fide baron in The Bottom-Tier Baron’s Accidental Rise to the Top Vol. 1 (manga) coming out digital-first on November 4th, 2022.

But that’s not all! Print editions of The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting Vol. 4 will be available just in time for the holidays on December 2nd, 2022, with Loner Life in Another World Vol. 6 (manga) joining shortly after on December 9th, 2022. Pre-orders can be made through RightStuf, Book Depository, Amazon, and more, with links to each storefront up on our website.



As a general announcement, we also wanted to let everyone know that physicals for Gacha Girls Corps and other series are in the works, and we will provide more info when we can.


Also, some of you who wanted to get their hands on physicals of The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting may have noticed that volume 1 has been a bit hard to get a hold of as of late, but rest assured there’s another reprint in the works that should hit our distributor in the coming months!


As always, we want to thank everyone for their support as we continue on our journey. We look forward to keep bringing you more of the best Japan has to offer, and hope everyone continues to stay healthy and take care of themselves as we head toward the end of the year!
