With March concluding, the April 2026 publication schedules for major English-language manga distributors – specifically VIZ Media, Kodansha, and Yen Press – are now here. There will be many continuations, and some new manga arriving as well.
The initial week begins with very popular manga series; for example, April 7 includes the releases of Dandadan, Vol. 18, and Blue Exorcist, Vol. 32. Mid-month releases follow with established franchise expansions, such as Kaiju No. 8: Relax, Vol. 2 on April 14. The latter half of the month incorporates consolidated editions, notably the Blue Lock Omnibus 2, scheduled for April 28.
To organize all the manga releases in April while still making sense, the release data is divided into four weekly intervals. Each section includes the manga releasing that week, when they are releasing exactly, and where they can be read/purchased. Let’s dive in.
Week 1 – April 1 to April 7
