Manga UP! Global added eight manga in English over the past two weeks. The releases arrived between September 19 and September 29:

  • September 19: 25 Years in a Dungeon: A Suspicious Man Returns as a Dungeon Streamer! (Dungeon ni Tojikamerarete 25-Nen. Kyūshutsu Sareta Toki ni wa Rippana Fushinsha ni Natteita), by author Nameko Hoshitake, character designer Shiba, and manga artist Taiyou Mitarai.
  • September 21: A Defeated Saint's Gonna Topple a Kingdom! (Haiboku Seijo wa, Hitamuki ni Kuni o Horoboshimasu!), by Toriko Ono.
  • September 23: Bloody Cross, by Shiwo Komeyama.
  • September 24: The After-School Bullying Trial is Now in Session! (Kaeri no Kai o Hajimemasu. Ijime Saiban Kaitei), by author Chikara Kimizuka and manga artist Yen Hioka.
  • September 25: Wolf Boy’s Secret (Ōkami-kun no Kakushigoto), by Natsuta Futatsuno.
  • September 26: The World is Full of Monsters, but With My Fluffy Feline Companion, I’ll Be Okay (Monster ga Afureru Sekai ni Nattakedo, Tayoreru Neko ga Irukara Daijōbu Desu), by author yosshaa!, character designer Chiho Shinishi, and manga artist Enya Uraki.
  • September 27: There's a Wall of Extroverts Around Me! (Sekigae Shitara Yōkya ni Kakomareta Hanashi.), by Misaoji.
  • September 29: Blood Addict (Bladict), by Umiharu.

25 Years in a Dungeon begins in 2025, when dungeons suddenly appear worldwide. Young Hiroshi Nagano enters one and spends 25 years trapped in its unexplored depths. Eating fierce monsters keeps him alive and gives him an extraordinary physique.

He emerges into a future Japan where dungeon explorers must stream their expeditions. Nationwide broadcasts of his immense strength make him a top explorer. The larger-than-life heroic story follows the suspicious-looking veteran as he puts a quarter-century of harsh survival experience to work conquering the streaming algorithm.

A Defeated Saint's Gonna Topple a Kingdom! follows Akari Kizaki, reincarnated as an otome game's Saint. She pursues potion making instead of romance. Her intended romantic target, the First Prince, conspires with the villainess to frame her for a crime, costing Akari her title and leading to her banishment.

Akari resumes brewing potions in her new home. Second Prince Roy, feared as the “Atrocious Prince,” approaches her with an offer to govern the country together. She becomes his accomplice in bringing down the nation, pairing a defeated Saint with a ruthless prince in a rebellion against fate.

In Bloody Cross, half-angel, half-demon Tsukimiya needs pure demon blood to delay a curse that will eventually kill her. An angel named Hinata eagerly joins her hunt for a vampire attacking humans. He proves unexpectedly capable, but takes the slain vampire's demon blood himself, leaving her facing death.

Desperate, Tsukimiya attempts to drink Hinata's blood, which now contains the vampire's pure demon blood. Taking the blood she needs to survive also passes her deadly curse to him. Both now bear the curse, with little time remaining.

Yen Press published Bloody Cross in English from 2013 to 2016.

The After-School Bullying Trial is Now in Session! follows class president Shinya Kitami, whose attempt to help transfer student Himari Tojo settle in turns their entire class against them. Both become outcasts subjected to relentless daily bullying. The story centers on another harrowing after-school “class debrief.”

Wolf Boy’s Secret takes place in a world where humans have evolved innate animal-like abilities called “traits.” As a new high school year starts, popular wolf-trait student Kuro meets Misako, who has no trait. Despite their differences, they steadily grow closer until Kuro's behavior abruptly changes.

The coming-of-age story follows an awkward but earnest wolf boy.

The World is Full of Monsters, but With My Fluffy Feline Companion, I’ll Be Okay is an official spinoff of the hit The World is Full of Monsters, So I Want to Live as I Wish. Its protagonist is an exceptionally powerful cat, described as the strongest around.

Set in Kyushu alongside the main story's events, the spinoff introduces new boss monsters, skills, and mysteries. Its reverse-isekai adventure combines fantasy with survival in a post-apocalyptic world.

In There's a Wall of Extroverts Around Me!, self-described introvert Hinako Kagei faces her second high school year's final seating change. Extroverts surround her: a gyaru behind her, a goof diagonally across, and Hino, the school's leading delinquent, beside her. Their opposing social groups collide, testing how she will cope.

Blood Addict takes place in war-ravaged Tougoku, where the potent, highly addictive drug UDL has become an endemic threat. Ibuki survives at society's margins, selling UDL to finance his search for his missing mother. Meeting a mysterious girl named Milfie soon throws that search into upheaval.

The After-School Bullying Trial is Now in Session! comes from the author of Is It My Fault That I Got Bullied?
