Bird is a mahjong gambling thriller manga, newly licensed for English release by Mahjong Pros Publishing, with the title set to arrive in November 2026.
Bird, a mahjong gambling thriller manga, was licensed by Mahjong Pros Publishing at San Diego Comic-Con. The publisher announced the license on July 27, 2026, alongside Akayoroshi: Hanafuda Shadow Games. Bird is described as a story about an illusionist and an undefeated cheater. Both titles are set for release in November 2026.
The license comes as part of Mahjong Pros Publishing's expanding catalog of localized gambling manga. The company, whose name reflects its core mahjong focus, is broadening its range beyond mahjong with the hanafuda-themed Akayoroshi. No further details about Bird's plot, characters, or creative team have been disclosed in the announcement.
Bird's upcoming English release follows the publisher's pattern of bringing niche gambling manga to English-speaking readers. As of the announcement, no chapters or volumes have been released in English, and no additional information about the series has been shared by Yomimono. The November 2026 release date remains the only confirmed detail beyond the basic premise.
