Another new shoujo license on KManga: Keepsake Heartache by Mikimoto Rin (Housekibako ni Ai wo Tsumeyou)

Synopsis:

>At five, she started humming melodies. At ten, she found her treasure. At 14, her world lost its spark. At 17, she starts to hear the music again. Mone Tsukimori, a slightly cheeky high schooler, has someone she can never forget. What is Mone’s past that only Anji-sempai knows...?

I'm happy to finally see this series in English! It's a beautiful story about grief, survivor's guilt, friendship, love and music!

You’re Mine, Right? by Asagi Chiyoharu (story) & Takayama Chizu (art)

>Hikari is nothing more than a simple employee at the digital streaming and VR app company, ROCK FLOOR, built by the capable Kaito. Eight years ago, when Kaito rescued Hikari from a train groper, she had developed deep-seeded feelings for him that she had kept securely hidden. Hikari continues to work closely with Kaito, burying her feelings deep inside. That is, until a simple mixer triggers a change in their relationship...

The author, Asagi Chiyoharu, has a three other series available in English: Hello, Nice to Meet You. Let's Get Divorced.; My Condolences, but Starting Today You're My Wife; The Coldhearted CEO's Passionate Proposal: Wasn't the Marriage Contract Supposed to Be Over?!

Rose & Lies: I Accidentally Seduced the Knight I Hate (Light Novel) by Midori Takako (story) and Takamura Fumi (art)

>Roselia was born and raised to be the next crown princess...until Hildegard was chosen for the position instead. Ordered by her father, Roselia is to drug Hildegard with an aphrodisiac and have her spend a night with the prince's head guard knight, Rolf. Unable to betray her own conscience, Roselia tries to back out of the plan...but after being snared by another ploy, Roselia ends up drinking the aphrodisiac in front of Rolf!

Unfortunately, being born to rival families, Roselia and Rolf are meant to be enemies, not lovers. Despite her reluctance to follow through with her father's plans, Roselia knows how dangerous it will be if anyone finds out the truth. In a desperate attempt to protect her family, Roselia resorts to a risky lie. "I love you." To her surprise, Rolf replies with a heartfelt confession?! "I've always loved you, too."

*light novels don't fall under the same demographic classifications as manga; in this case, this LN is tagged as "TL" (teen's love), but it could also be considered joseimuke (women as a target audience), so I chose to include it with this announcement

The author, Midori Takako, has another series in English: Before You Discard Me, I Shall Have My Way With You (manga)

New KManga license: L♡DK Pink (sequel to L♡DK) by Watanabe Ayu

Synopsis:

>It's been several years since high school, and now Aoi and Shusei are 23 years old and still living together…but their romance hasn't cooled a bit! What does the future have in store for these lovebirds in their adult days?

You can read it here on KManga (note that this isn't a simulpub, but it looks like it's caught up with the two volumes that are currently out in Japanese).

And if you aren't familiar with L♡DK, here is the synopsis of the prequel:

>Aoi Nishimori is a high school girl who lives alone in her own apartment, but to her surprise, she discovers that the prince of her school, Shusei Kugayama, has moved in next door! To add to this, a series of crazy happenings result in the two living together under a single roof! Shusei is known to be a heartless guy and Aoi particularly hates him after he coldly rejected her best friend, so a life of cohabitation seems like a recipe for disaster. And yet, Aoi somehow can’t stop her heart from pounding when she’s with Shusei…

It is also available on KManga, as well as in print and digital volumes (23 volumes total)

Watanabe Ayu is also known for the series Men's Life —Her Secret Life in The Boys' Dormitory— in English, complete with 4 volumes.
