Torrance, CA - Wednesday, July 13, 2022:

Hey there, it's the Kaiten Books team once more, with a big reminder for all the fans of The Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting. As of last week, the anime adaptation of the series has begun airing! The first episode has already aired, with the second coming later this week, so be sure to tune in.



If you're looking for a place to watch the series with English subtitles, Crunchyroll should have you covered. Their simulcasts are on Thursdays at 8:30 AM PDT!



Also, as a little celebratory gift from us, the first volume of the series will be available for FREE on Bookwalker all the way up until Thursday, the 14th of July at 11:59 PM PDT. If you're looking to get into the series for the first time and try it out while the anime is airing, feel free!



While we're at it, just another little reminder that the 3rd volume of the series will be having its print release in around a month from now, on August 16th, 2022. Go and pre-order if you're interested!



Here's to a fun and eventful rest of the summer! We'll have more news for you all in the future, but for now, go on and enjoy The Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting in motion!

Speaking of anime, we have some exciting news—we will be participating in Anime Expo 2022 as an exhibitor! You can find us at Booth 2817 in the Exhibit Hall, so if you’re planning on going, come say hello!


We also have some updates for our digital releases! First up is the 3rd and final volume of My Dad’s the Queen of All VTubers?! which released last Friday, April 29th, 2022, on digital storefronts. Next up is Loner Life in Another World Vol. 6 (manga) releasing May 27th, 2022, and Welcome to the Outcast’s Restaurant! Vol. 2 (manga) releasing June 10th, 2022.


In printing news, we have more physical releases on the horizon!

For those who haven’t had luck finding some of our physical releases, then we’re happy to report reprints for series like Loner Life in Another World and The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting are en route to our distributor. Print times are still being affected, so be sure to grab them while you can, since it might be some time before we can get more printed!


Again, we would like to thank everyone for sticking with us as we continue to adjust to constantly changing print times and price fluctuations. We will do everything we can to keep everyone in the loop as we continue to get our physical releases out as fast as possible.


Until then, we here at Kaiten Books hope everyone stays safe and has a happy Spring!
