Manga UP! Global continues to expand its English offerings with the addition of two completed manga series this month. Haru Ogawa's Venus in December arrived on Thursday, followed by Kiri Wazawa's Paranormal Agent Adashino on Friday.

Venus in December is a BL romance centered on an unlikely cohabitation. When 29-year-old illustrator Kei leaves his job to reassess his life, his editor friend propositions him with an unusual opportunity: move in with 32-year-old novelist Hijiri Saionji to keep him on deadline and sketch his portrait. What begins as an awkward arrangement gradually reveals itself as something deeper as Kei discovers the reasons behind Hijiri's distant demeanor. The series wrapped up in Japan after two volumes, with the final collection shipping in March.

On the supernatural side, Paranormal Agent Adashino follows agent Abi as he investigates and contains paranormal phenomena—curses, spirits, and apparitions that threaten ordinary life. Each case brings fresh supernatural mysteries to unravel. The series completed its run in Japan with three volumes, the last arriving in January. Creator Kiri Wazawa previously worked on The Morose Mononokean, which Manga UP! is also releasing in English and has spawned two anime adaptations.

Both manga originally serialized in Square Enix publications, with Venus in December running through Manga UP! and Paranormal Agent Adashino appearing in Shonen Gangan magazine. The back-to-back releases demonstrate Manga UP! Global's commitment to bringing Square Enix's library to English-speaking audiences, particularly as the platform continues to build its catalog of completed series.

For fans interested in either title, both are now available through Manga UP! Global's platform in English.
