The release date for MF Bunko J's new April 2026 publications has arrived!

This month, we introduce four new works: "#Ore no Kurorekishi ga Yomarete Shimau Hashtag" (My Dark History is Being Read Hashtag), "Kore Dakara Osananajimi wa! Shitsuren Shita Osananajimi Zokusei Shojo-tachi (※Jinin Main Heroine) no Bukiyou na Seishun, Support Shimasu." (This is why childhood friends! I'll support the clumsy youth of childhood-friend-attribute girls (who self-identify as main heroines) who've been heartbroken.), "Yousei no Kuni no Ester Hime wa Nihon o Oshi Katsu Shitemasu! ~Tada no Koukousei de Aru Ore ga, Ohime-sama Kaiwai ni Ki ni Irare, Chikyuu no Bunka o Denju Shimasu~" (Princess Estel of the Fairy Country is a Japan Fan! ~I, a regular high school student, am favored by the princess community and teach them Earth's culture~), and "Liar Dancer"!

First, we introduce "#Ore no Kurorekishi ga Yomarete Shimau Hashtag"!

One day, the protagonist saw a manga on SNS.

It was a gag romance with beautiful artwork, enjoying the slightly off-kilter words and actions of a handsome man.

However, the protagonist felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu about this manga...!?

"It's us, isn't it? The original story of that manga."

When the protagonist, convinced that the popular classmate Meguri-san was the author, confronted her, a shocking reply came back...

"Because I thought I'd end it."

"My first love."

A unique #hashtag #romantic comedy begins here!

Second, we introduce "Kore Dakara Osananajimi wa! Shitsuren Shita Osananajimi Zokusei Shojo-tachi (※Jinin Main Heroine) no Bukiyou na Seishun, Support Shimasu."!

My childhood friend got a boyfriend. Even though I was next to her first...

The protagonist, Soushi Hakamata, who was living days of sadness, one day witnessed a commotion in the courtyard.

"How dare you... my precious childhood friend... you thieving cat!"

Crying out was Sae Watarae, "the childhood friend of my childhood friend's boyfriend." The two were then scouted on the spot by the "Koikoi-kai" (Love-Love Club), a gathering of the heartbroken.

The purpose of the Koikoi-kai is to achieve the next love for those who have been hurt. However, the members of this organization are a bunch of eccentrics—!?

Can Hakamata and the Koikoi-kai find new love!?

A youth romantic comedy starting from heartbreak now begins!!

Third, we introduce "Yousei no Kuni no Ester Hime wa Nihon o Oshi Katsu Shitemasu! ~Tada no Koukousei de Aru Ore ga, Ohime-sama Kaiwai ni Ki ni Irare, Chikyuu no Bunka o Denju Shimasu~"!

Yusei, an ordinary modern Japanese youth, discovers a glowing magic circle carved into a warehouse wall. When he touches it, it flickers brightly, and a hand extends out from within!

Driven by curiosity, he pulls it, and from beyond the wall appears Princess Estel of the otherworld Aquastel...!?

Estel is very interested in Japanese technology. Yusei's recycling shop, shopping street, and even the taste of oden surprise her! Furthermore, Yusei can also pass through the magic circle to the other world—!?

A must-see interworld romantic comedy traveling between two worlds!

Fourth, we introduce "Liar Dancer"!

In this world, there are people good at lying and people bad at it.

The protagonist, Makoto Otori, is bad at lying. His voice cracks, and he gets awkward.

However, his lies have the ability to cause chaos.

Makoto Otori's lies are believed by everyone else as 100% truth.

—However, only when he lies while dancing.

Such a protagonist with a ridiculous ability enrolls in a high school with an [Anti-Lying Edict].

Otori takes the side of Hina Natsusaki, who is suffering under this oppressive school rule, and forms a rebellion team—!?

An unconventional youth full of "lies" that you can't take your eyes off!

The popular song "Liar Dancer" now appears as a novelization!

In addition, there are many other notable works, such as the 3rd volume of a romantic comedy about a charmingly clingy girlfriend that's buzzing on SNS, and a highly anticipated new volume from MF Bunko J's super popular isekai fantasy series!

MF Bunko J's April new releases are out on Friday, April 24th!
