Notes
55
NOTE:With a few minor exceptions***, I did not include any re-releases where the series was already completed in English and was just being re-released by the same company (as omnis, hard covers, special editions, etc). Examples include Cirque Du Freak omnis (Yen Press) and a Silent Voice hard covers (Kodansha). ALSO, I did not include manga that made its debut in print in 2021 but had a prior digital release in 2020 (ex: Star Crossed, A Sign of Affection, etc.). I only included manga that debuted for the first time in English.
56
NOTE #2:This list includes only Seven Seas, VIZ + SuBLime, Yen Press, and Kodansha + Vertical as these are the biggest manga publishers in the USA; other dedicated tabs (ex: anime, shoujo/josei, etc.) may contain releases from other publishers that I knew of and found noteworthy. The list refers to series by their English titles. Japanese titles and other information can be found in the database link. I mainly used Manga Updates. Other databases include My Anime List (MAL) and Anime Planet (AP).
57
NOTE #3:Some series were to be released in 2021 but due to COVID and other factors have been pushed to 2022. I have left some of those series on the list.
58
NOTE #4:Manga is arranged in ABC order by title
59
NOTE #5:Ctrl + F to search for titles; themes/genres, etc.
