Digital publisher Cygames has outlined its physical print release strategy for November 2026 under its Cycomi Publishing label and the ongoing Cycomi Publishing NEXT initiative. Pre-orders across major retail partners, including Amazon, Rakuten Books, and Animate, opened on September 15, 2026, offering readers physical editions of thirteen distinct titles serialized on the Cycomi digital manga platform.
Cycomi Publishing NEXT Slate
Leading the November 13 batch is the Cycomi Publishing NEXT initiative, created specifically to deliver physical tankōbon releases and updated new editions for long-running digital serials. Headlining this batch are multi-volume releases for key franchises in the lineup:
- The Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls After20 (Volumes 13–16) by Kyō Nigo
- The Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls U149 (Volumes 13–16) by Kyono
- Three Star (Volumes 1 & 2) by Osamu Kajisa
The After20 and U149 releases will utilize updated print production equipment, which Cygames notes may result in subtle design variations compared to earlier physical pressings. Furthermore, Cygames confirmed that December 15 will see physical releases for The Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls After20 (Volumes 17–18), U149 (Volumes 17–19), and Hiromitsu Takeda's Imadoki no Wakai Mon wa (Volumes 1–6).
Standard Cycomi Releases
On November 30, ten additional titles from the standard Cycomi Publishing line will arrive in physical storefronts. This wave spans romance, fantasy action, and genre parodies serialized on the digital platform:
- Ai wa Iranai Koi Saseteyo Vol. 1 by Amemikuro
