Manga publisher BluPetal Books has announced a new manga title to join their line up in 2027! The publisher took to X on November 11 to share that they have licensed My Tattooed Childhood Best Friend’s Restrictions Are Harsh by Aizen Mana.
Nanase, in her first year on the job, is being driven crazy by her childhood friend, Rui, a tattoo artist. He’s overprotective, a worrier, and loves to meddle… in short, he’s incredibly controlling! The two of them are now entering their fifth year of living together. But they aren’t a couple.
Nanase likes Rui, but for “a certain reason,” she hasn’t been able to tell him how she feels. One day, after learning that the boss Rui looks up to at work is a woman, Nanase impulsively visits his workplace…
BluPetal shared that this title is categorized under Teen’s Love (TL), which is akin to Boys’ Love and Girls’ Love, used in Japan. In a previous tweet thread BluPetal collaborated with Muteki Renai S*Girl, the Teen’ Love department of Bunkasha to explain what TL is:
“TL is a romance genre primarily aimed at adult women, featuring deeper and more intimate romantic relationships that go beyond kissing.”
“The main target audience is women in their 20s to 50s.”
My Tattooed Childhood Best Friend’s Restrictions Are Harsh Vol. 1 is available for preorder now through BluPetal, and will be available in 2027.
