Val x Love Creator Ryosuke Asakura Launches Evangeline Puts on Shoes on Shonen Jump+
Asakura moves to Shonen Jump+ after Val x Love ended in March 2023 and Anastacia no Ikita 9-kakan wrapped in September 2025, putting his next serialization on Shueisha's digital platform rather than the print magazines that carried his earlier work.

Asakura's prior works include Anastacia no Ikita 9-kakan, Shikizaki Shimai wa Abakaretai, and Val x Love, which ran from December 2015 to March 2023.
The series centers on Evangeline, a high school student and actress whose looks and charm draw everyone around her, and Kotaro, an aspiring shoemaker who notices what her footsteps give away. It runs on Shonen Jump+, the same platform that announced the launch through its social accounts. Asakura's earlier serializations appeared in print magazines: Val x Love in Monthly Shonen Gangan from December 2015 to March 2023, Shikizaki Shimai wa Abakaretai in Weekly Young Jump from December 2021 to April 2023, and Anastacia no Ikita 9-kakan, which ran from February 2024 to September 2025.
