Manga author NON, known for series like Hare Kon (Harem Marriage) and Delivery Cinderella, has another series on the way to English-speaking audiences this year. Dark Horse Manga announced plans to release NON’s murder mystery manga Adabana, with the first of three paperback volumes set to launch this August.
Adabana first ran in the pages of Shueisha’s seinen manga magazine Grand Jump from 2020-2021. The first English volume—translated by Caleb Cook and lettered by Brendon Hull—hits bookstores and comic shops on August 12, 2025.
Here’s how Dark Horse describes it:
After the gruesome murder of two small-town residents, a ramen shop owner, and a local student, the community is left shocked. Mizuki Aikawa, the best friend of one of the victims, confesses to the brutal crime. However, nothing is as it seems, and Mizuki’s public defenders believe there has to be more to the story. When the truth unravels, they discover a tale of class, exploitation, and the deeper struggles of meeting family expectations.
