Manga Box and Drecom have launched a new collaborative comic label called DRE Box, specializing in isekai and fantasy works. The label will release a new series monthly for four consecutive months starting June 6, 2026, adapting light novels from Drecom's DRE Novels imprint into manga serialized on Manga Box's platforms.
The new label DRE Box (read: Dori Box) combines Manga Box's editorial and platform reach with Drecom's IP production experience. Manga Box has previously handled isekai fantasy adaptations like My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending (over 1.7 million copies in circulation) and I Was a Combat Slave, but the Dragon Who Saved Me Says I'm Their Mate (over 1 million copies). Drecom operates the light novel label DRE Novels and has experience in media mix and overseas expansion. The first series, The Slow Life of a Minor Official with the Talent of a Prime Minister in the Frontier, launches June 6. Three more titles follow monthly through September, including a villainess alchemy story, a camper van self-exile tale, and a second-chance redo by a final boss.
