Robico, Creator of 'My Little Monster,' Launches Two New Manga Series This Month

Robico, the creator behind the popular romance Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun (My Little Monster), is making a significant return to serialized manga with two brand-new projects launching in February and March. Fans have been waiting over a decade for new series from the artist since her hit work concluded.

The news was confirmed by Robico via X on Thursday. The first title revealed is Yuuyami to Kataware (To Dusk and Twilight), which is set to begin serialization in Kodansha's Monthly Young Magazine issue 3. This series is an expansion of her August 2025 one-shot and focuses on a vampire age-gap relationship. Readers can expect the first chapter on newsstands February 19.

The second announcement is Maou-sama, Kekkon desu!, scheduled to debut on Shodensha's Our Feel platform on March 5. While specific plot details are scarce, this launch is part of a larger debut slate for Our Feel, which also features new works from established names like Tomoko Yamashita and Kinoshi Wata.

For context, Robico’s previous major work, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, originally ran in Kodansha's Dessert magazine from 2008 through 2013. Brain's Base adapted that series into a 13-episode anime in 2012, which streamed on Crunchyroll, and it later received a live-action film adaptation in 2018. The Our Feel X account has already hinted that more reveals regarding their new lineup are coming soon, suggesting a busy spring for the creator.
