'The Abandoned Saintess: Unconscious Yandere Brotherly Love, Vol. 1'

Release Date: February 27, 2026

Micro Magazine Publishing (based in Chuo-ku, Tokyo) is set to launch its latest comic 'The Abandoned Saintess: Unconscious Yandere Brotherly Love, Vol. 1' on February 27, 2026. This highly anticipated title, illustrated by Aoba Haru and originally written by Yoshino Somei, delves deeply into a complex relationship marked by love, obsession, and emotional intricacies between non-blood siblings.

A Glimpse into the Story

The narrative centers on Emma, who is endowed with the special ability known as 'Luna's Prayer,' making her one of the top contenders for the next saintess. However, things take a turn when another competitor, Isabella, emerges, leading to Emma's unexpected defeat during the final saintess selection ceremony. What began as admiration transformed into scorn; people who once dubbed her 'the Ice Saintess' mock her as 'the abandoned one'.

Emma's kind-hearted stepbrother, Asher, finds himself drawn to her and wishes to protect her from the harsh judgments of others. He offers her comfort and affection, but this burgeoning connection hints at deeper emotions. Will Asher's love become a source of solace, or will his obsession complicate their bond further?

This title brings together the first five chapters of the series, previously serialized in the web comic journal 'Comic Ride Ivy,' issues #31 to #34.
