Aya Hirakawa’s romantic comedy manga Dealing With Mikadono Sisters Is A Breeze has officially been released in English, bringing one of Japan’s most heartwarming slice of life titles to a global audience for the first time. Digital manga platform emaqi launched the first two English volumes on June 27, 2025, as part of a limited time campaign to introduce untranslated manga to English speaking readers.
The release marks an important step in emaqi’s promise to deliver 100 new manga titles in English by the end of the year. As part of the campaign, readers in supported regions can access Volumes 1 and 2 for free until August 10. However, the company has also added that the offer may end earlier depending on demand. Operated by Orange Inc., emaqi is a new but ambitious platform that focuses on official licensing, quality localization, and expanding manga’s reach globally while ensuring creators are fairly compensated.
Dealing With Mikadono Sisters Is A Breeze is a gentle, character driven story that centers around Yu, an ordinary high school student who suddenly finds himself living under the same roof as three brilliant but socially awkward sisters. Each of them is a genius in her own way, and yet the emotional weight of their past and their struggle to adapt to shared life slowly peels back their confident exteriors. While Yu initially seems like the one who would be overwhelmed, he quickly proves to be the grounding presence they never knew they needed.
The manga blends romantic comedy with emotional vulnerability, offering readers both laughs and tender moments. The sisters, each with their own quirks and emotional baggage, begin to soften in Yu’s presence, revealing awkward crushes, blushing realizations, and sincere efforts to connect. The result is a story that feels like a mix of classic romance and modern found family warmth.
As anticipation builds for the upcoming anime adaptation by P.A. Works, which is scheduled to premiere in July 2025, the English manga launch adds to the excitement. Fans of character rich romantic comedies will find a lot to enjoy in Hirakawa’s storytelling, which carefully balances humor and heart.
Beyond just this series, emaqi’s growing catalog is drawing attention for its mix of classics and hidden gems. The platform also includes officially licensed titles from publishers such as VIZ Media, Kodansha USA, Yen Press, and Akita Shoten, among others. What sets emaqi apart is its commitment to using professional translators and designers to localize titles with quality and authenticity. Despite early criticism over limited use of AI in translations, the company has reaffirmed its focus on human expertise for the majority of its offerings.
With the platform recently expanding to the United States and Canada, emaqi is aiming to become a significant name in legal digital manga. For readers who want to support creators and discover manga that was previously locked to Japanese audiences, this release is both a celebration and an invitation.
