Fans can anticipate new and returning series, with three titles confirmed to begin streaming in April. These include Yowayowa Sensei, The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior Season 2, and Farming Life in Another World 2.
Yowayowa Sensei Joins the Lineup

The romantic comedy manga tells the story of Hiyori Hiwamura, a recent college graduate embarking on her career as a high school teacher. Hiwamura possesses a weak voice and low stamina, presenting an overall frail demeanor that naturally evokes a desire to protect her. Despite her gentle nature, students mistakenly perceive her meekness as intimidating, leading to her being feared as the rumored "Ms. Scary" who allegedly curses those who upset her. Regardless of this misunderstanding, she diligently works for her students. One student, Akihito Abikura, eventually discerns her true character.

Seven Seas Entertainment publishes both the original light novels and the manga adaptation in English. The story introduces Pride Royal Ivy, an eight-year-old girl who realizes she has been reincarnated into the world of an otome game. Her destiny is to become the wicked queen and final boss of this game. In her new life, she is endowed with sharp intelligence, powerful abilities typical of a boss character, and significant influence over the kingdom as the crown princess. However, instead of pursuing a path of despair and destruction, Princess Pride chooses to abandon the villainous plan. She endeavors to protect the male love interests and save as many people as she can, actively working to avert the tragic future. The narrative explores whether this final boss character can ultimately earn the affection of her kingdom.
