Ize Press is actively licensing Korean boys-love webtoons for English print publication, with multiple releases scheduled from December 2026 through March 2027.
Ize Press has been steadily expanding its English print catalog of Korean webtoons, with a particular focus on boys-love titles. In June 2026, the publisher announced it would release the full-color paperback edition of Love So Pure in December 2026. The webtoon, created by PlanB, was serialized on Tapas from 2021 to 2024 and accumulated over 4.6 million views. The print edition will feature the mature version of the story.
At its Anime Expo panel in early July 2026, Ize Press licensed three more Korean webtoons for full-color paperback print editions, all scheduled for January 2027: Legroom, Philomel the Fake, and Footsteps in the Snow. The slate includes a psychological BL mystery, a fantasy drama, and a post-apocalyptic journey.
Later that month, at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, Ize Press announced two additional BL webtoon licenses for English print: Codename: Anastasia, an espionage thriller set for March 2027, and Mignon, a romance between an underground boxer and a vampire doctor that will receive a special box set in January 2027. The announcements show Ize Press building a diverse print lineup of Korean webtoon titles, primarily in the boys-love genre, with release dates clustered in early 2027.
