This is Aside Manga News for August 31st, 2026.
Last Monday, the manga series Golden Phantom by Daiki Yamazaki was added to the K Manga service.
The author Daiki Yamazaki originally debuted with their Kishibe no Yume oneshot by winning the Afternoon Four Seasons Award 2020 Winter Contest Grand Prize. This led to their debut manga series Chaos Game being serialized in Monthly Afternoon magazine. The series ran for 24 chapters between 2022 through 2024. Upon its conclusion, the entire series was added in English to K Manga on September 4th, 2024.
The new manga series Golden Phantom started it’s serialization in Monthly Afternoon magazine issue #4 in 2026. Currently there are 7 chapters released, but K Manga splits the chapters into 2 parts due to the length. The entire first chapter can be read for free, with chapters 2 through 4 requiring in-app tickets. Starting with chapter 5 each full chapter will then cost in-app “points” which will cost money to read. New chapters will be published in English around the 24th of each month, which lines up when Monthly Afternoon is released in Japan.
Skip and Loafer, Wandance, Toppu GP, The Darwin Incident, and Wave, Listen to Me! all receive volume releases from Kodansha USA. Blue Period and Omori both are being simulpubished on K Manga and have volume releases by Kodansha. Dig It is currently being simulpubished on K Manga, but will begin its volume releases by Kodansha starting in Spring 2027. Heavenly Delusion is also being simulpublished on K Manga and has volume releases by Denpa. Kraken Mare is the only other series, besides the newly added Golden Phantom, that is only receiving a simulpublished release on K Manga without a volume release planned at this time.
There are 15 other serializations in Monthly Afternoon magazine which are not currently receiving English releases.
