 We're looking forward to seeing how they grow in the coming year!

Announced Titles:

Shed that Skin Ryugasaki-chan

Shed that Skin, Ryugasaki-san!

Author: Kazutomo Ichitomo

Ryugasaki-san is a lizardgirl. Her tongue is like that of a chameleon's, her hands are like that of a gecko's, and she even has a third eyelid!

Due to her unique biological makeup, she sheds her skin multiple times a year. This wouldn't ordinarily be an issue, but she suddenly finds herself (or rather, her skin) the target of a classmate's affections.

The peculiar Yugami-kun has a particular interest in reptiles, and Ryugasaki-san's unique physiological features have caught his inquisitive, meticulous eye. Thus begins the story of a budding romance between two very unusual individuals. With a bit of luck, Ryugasaki-san can show the hapless Yugami-kun that there's more to her than her reptilian anatomy!

Author: Shoji Goji

IS ONE REALLY THE LONELIEST NUMBER?

Haruka is just your average high school loner, minding his own business and keeping to himself as he makes it through his high school career, until one day—he's suddenly sent to another world alongside the rest of his class!

Before he knows it, he’s face-to-face with the god of this new world, who presents him with a list of cheat skills to choose from…but there’s a catch. It’s first come first served, and his classmates have already beaten him to the punch.

Haruka has to make do with what he can get as he navigates his way through this brave new world, all while flying solo!

About the company:

Kaiten Books is a localization and publishing company driven to bring the best Japan has to offer to the English-speaking fans of the world--like us! Our name is based off the famous sushi-go-round restaurants in Japan (called “kaiten-zushi,”) and our goal is to bring you as much variety in our releases as you would find on the menu in the finest Tokyo sushi bars.


We started our company as fans of manga. Now, we passionately work alongside the most premium talents in the localization industry to make sure each release is the highest quality it can be. There are plenty of updates throughout the release process to keep our readers up to date on their favorite series.
