Panini officially launch their Panini Manga imprint at MCM Expo

Written by Ross Locksley on 25 May 2025



As reported earlier this month, publishing company Panini, known mostly for their iconic sticker books in the UK, have used this weekend's MCM Expo to launch Panini Manga, a new home for manga in the UK.

We visited the stall at the show and picked up some review copies of Our Dating Story... and will have a review up soon. I am happy to say that the printing quality is excellent and the covers are nicely folded and feel quite premium, so hopefully what's inside will be every bit as good!

On Saturday they held a panel on the Artists Alley stage to give some additional details on what to expect in the coming months. They will be working in Japan with publishers Square Enix and Disney to bring exclusive titles to the UK, such as Our Dating Story, Stitch! and Earth Expansion.

New releases announced at the panel were:

  • The Daily Life of a Middle-Aged Shopper in Another World (starts August)
  • How I Attended an All-Guys Mixer (starts September)
  • Jeanette: The Genius: So How Did She Unlock Super Love Mode? (starts August)

Other titles, including some artbooks, are in the pipeline and will be announced soon, meantime you can keep up to date on the Panini Manga website.
