BL Release Schedule

Print Schedule

Last full update: 6/19/22
Additions/Corrections: 7/26/22

The tabs below list the releases for the year for print releases of English localized BL manga in the US. Please note all dates are subject to change, dates more than six months out are very tentative.

For titles with both a digital and physical release, differences between digital and physical release dates have NOT been noted, if any differ.

NEW FOR 2022: BL titles that are actually advertised as BL in Japan will remain in normal text. Italics will indicate non-BL titles that feature queer male characters.* These manga run variously in shoujo, shounen, and seinen magazines in Japan or are otherwise categorized as such or are geikomi.** All manga is commercial unless noted otherwise.
Non-manga BL titles will be underlined, to include manhwa, danmei, and light novels. Non-manga, non-BL titiles with queer male characters will be both italics and underlined.

*The difference between all these will be negligible for many, but I think there's value in making the distinction, honoring both what BL does and what other works meant for other target audiences do.
**The exception is 10 Dance which originated in a BL magazine, even as it runs in a seinen magazine now, so that is categorized as BL. (New York, New York, published prior to BL existing as a term, was rereleased as a BL title in later years.)
