Indonesian publisher M&C! announced last week that it has licensed Yōsuke Kaneda's Kishuku Gakkō no Juliet (Boarding School Juliet), Kaoru Sangatsu's Seasons of Love (Kawaii kara Yurusu), and Misaki Gotō's Tie, Untie, and Kiss (Musunde, Hodoite, Kiss.) manga. It did not provide a release date for Kishuku Gakkō no Juliet, but will begin releasing the other two manga on August 15.

Kishuku Gakkō no Juliet's story follows two students from two nations who attend the Dahlia Academy boarding school, and a forbidden love that blooms between them. In the Tōwa Nation's dormitory stands Romio Inuzuka, and in the Principality of West dormitory stands his lover and eternal enemy, Juliet Percia. Everything begins with the confession that Romio stakes his life on.

Kaneda launched the manga in Kodansha's Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine in 2015, and the manga moved to Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine in 2017. Kodansha published the eighth volume on June 15. The series received a nomination in the Shōnen category of the 41st Annual Kodansha Manga Awards last year.

The manga is inspiring an upcoming television anime by LIDEN FILMS that will premiere in October.

M&C! describes Seasons of Love:

Why does someone look so sweet when they're in love? The happiness of love overflows in this collection of romantic stories. There are stories about sweet but annoying friends, about the baseball team that holds hands with their manager, about the girl who finds her dreams and romance on Christmas Eve, and other stories that will make your heart beat faster!
