New License: His Little Amber. Story and art by KAZKI NATSUME. When the injured leopard cub he rescued five years ago grows into a handsome young man, former yakuza Genji will have to face unfamiliar feelings in this supernatural Boys’ Love manga. Five years ago on a snowy night, Genji came upon a helpless leopard cub and brought him home. Since then, Koshiro has stayed by Genji’s side, growing up into a healthy leopard—who also can shift into a handsome young man. Neither understands what Koshiro is or where he came from, but Genji has taken care of him regardless. Now that Koshiro is growing older, his body is going through changes he can’t quite figure out. All he knows is that he wants to be closer with Genji in a more physical sense. Can Genji help him with these unfamiliar urges, or is this a step too far for the former yakuza? For Mature readers. © NATSUME KAZKI 2023 / KOBUNSHA CO., LTD. Available from Seven Seas Entertainment March 2026 (Print/Digital).
