Yen Press Signs License Agreement for Yuri Light Novel 'Watching the Angel Sleep, Drowning in Bed Together' and 9 Manga

Yen Press announced on July 24, 2026, that it has licensed the yuri light novel 'Watching the Angel Sleep, Drowning in Bed Together' along with nine other manga. This move significantly expands the publisher's catalog of both yuri and general manga.

Among the licensed works, particularly notable are '#ImLookingForZombies', 'Mane Mane Nichi Nichi', and 'Champignon Witch'. These three manga aim to attract readers with their stories from different genres. 'Watching the Angel Sleep, Drowning in Bed Together' is a light novel that stands out with its emotional and romantic yuri themes. This wave of licensing from Yen Press is great news especially for yuri fans.

Yen Press is a publisher that has previously brought many popular manga and light novel series to English-speaking readers. The company has major series like "Komi Can't Communicate" and "Sword Art Online", as well as yuri classics like "Bloom Into You". With the new licenses, we see that interest in the yuri genre continues and the publisher has not stopped investing in this area.

So what does this announcement mean for manga and light novel readers in Turkey? Although there is no announcement yet about Turkish translations of these series, Turkish fans can access the works through Yen Press' English editions. For yuri fans especially, 'Watching the Angel Sleep, Drowning in Bed Together' is a title not to be missed. Additionally, a zombie-themed comedy manga like '#ImLookingForZombies' could bring a fresh breath for fans of the genre.

In the coming period, Yen Press is expected to announce the translation and release schedule for these new licenses. There is usually a few months' difference between digital and physical releases. Followers can get the latest information from the publisher's official website and social media accounts. This licensing wave is also a sign that the publisher will continue to expand by the end of 2026.
