New Manga from Harukana Receive Creator Nyoijizai: Shinkon Dakedo Captain no Kanojo to wa Mada Yarenai

Nyoijizai made a name for themselves in the manga world, particularly with the popular sports series Harukana Receive. Now, they have returned with a brand new project: Shinkon Dakedo Captain no Kanojo to wa Mada Yarenai. According to Anime News Network, this new manga officially began publication on July 11, 2026.

The title, which roughly translates to “I’m a newlywed, but I still haven’t done it with my captain girlfriend,” seems to be a new example of the romantic comedy and character-driven storytelling that has become Nyoijizai's signature. The energetic dialogue and emotional depth found in the author's previous works may also appear in this new manga.

As a reminder, Harukana Receive was highly acclaimed for its beach volleyball-themed manga and the 2018 anime adaptation. Nyoijizai is particularly known for their portrayal of the world of friendship and competition among young female athletes. Although the genre of the new series has not been fully disclosed, the terms “captain” and “girlfriend” in the title may point to a romantic comedy set in a school club environment.

Fans are already eager to explore this new world by Nyoijizai. Details such as which magazine the manga is published in and the frequency of chapters will be clarified in the coming days. If you enjoyed the sweet competition and heartwarming relationships of Harukana Receive, you may want to follow this new series closely.
