Ghost Mikawa's novel Mercenary Sisters is set to receive a manga adaptation, while the manga adaptation of his light novel series My Friend's Little Sister Has It in for Me! is concluding with its 12th volume in fall 2026.
Ghost Mikawa's 2025 novel Mercenary Sisters, published on Kakuyomu and in print by Kadokawa, will be adapted into a manga by artist Ka Sakana. The adaptation was announced by Kadokawa's Comic Newtype on July 16 and will launch on the same platform. The story follows two unrelated sisters, a rookie and a veteran mercenary, surviving in a conflict zone.
Meanwhile, the manga adaptation of Mikawa's earlier light novel series My Friend's Little Sister Has It in for Me! is ending. The manga, drawn by Hira Hiraoka and serialized on Manga UP! since December 2019, will conclude with its 12th volume in early fall. The series follows a young man whose game-development ambitions get tangled with a fake relationship.
The original light novels for My Friend's Little Sister, illustrated by tomari, began in April 2019 under SB Creative's GA Bunko and remain ongoing. A television anime adaptation produced by Studio Blade aired last fall. J-Novel Club releases the novels in English. The two stories together show Mikawa's works continuing to move between formats, with one manga ending and another beginning.
