Global launched in English Inariyama’s My Faceless Classmate, Wakao (Tonari no Wakao-san wa Miesōde Mienai) manga on Thursday and Mika Totsuki’s manga adaptation of Syuu’s Charlotte: The Tale of a Castle Maid (Charlotte: Toaru Jijo no Shirozukae Monogatari) light novel series on Tuesday.
Manga UP! describes My Faceless Classmate, Wakao:
Mizuno, your average high-school guy, finds himself sitting next to the mysterious Wakao after a seat change.
While everyone else in class sees her as a perfectly beautiful, ordinary girl… To Mizuno alone, she appears as a Noppera-bo, the faceless yokai of Japanese folklore!
Yet… every so often, he’s actually able to catch rare, fleeting glimpses of her features.
In this romantic, often comedic coming-of-age tale, we follow this endearing couple as they navigate through the tribulations of high-school and first love!
Inariyama launched the manga as a one-shot in October 2023 in Square Enix’s Gangan Online, then began serialization in November 2024. The company shipped the second compiled volume of the manga on April 11.
