Dreamland

Synopsis: Ever since his mother died in a fire, Terrence has secluded himself in an emotionless world.
He goes through his daily teenager life apathetically… with one exception! The simple sight of a flame plunges him into a world of fear, an awaken version of his nightmares – for, every time he falls asleep, he helplessly relieves the tragic event, thus rekindling his pyrophobia. Until that one night he can’t bear it anymore and stops running away from the devilish flames. Little does he know that, by doing so, he overcame his greatest fear and became a Traveler: a very special kind of Dreamer, able to explore Dreamland, the dimension born from mankind’s dreams… and nightmares!

Synopsis: Born in 17th-century Japan to a French father, young samurai Nanako sails to France in search of her long-lost dad. Her only clue: he was a friend of the king. Impressed by her swordsmanship, the Three Musketeers offer her a chance to join them and, if she proves useful enough, she may even earn an audience with the King of France. But first, she must survive shadowy figures, murder plots, and a rather dysfunctional trio of musketeers.
PSYREN
Release Date: October 2026
Territories: Worldwide, excluding Japan and China
Synopsis: One day, high schooler Ageha Yoshina picks up a mysterious “red phone card” left behind in a public telephone booth.
A few days later, his childhood friend and classmate, Sakurako Amamiya—who possessed the same card—suddenly vanishes without a trace.

The Eternal Fool’s Words of Wisdom: A Pawsitively Fantastic Adventure
Release Date: January 2027
Territories: North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, CIS and Indian Subcontinent
Synopsis: A couple thousand years of solitude would wear down any young man—that is, anyone except Asley, an eternally youthful and eternally foolish sorcerer. After all, he has man’s best friend…er, familiar, to keep him company. When his Level 100 canine companion Pochi demands that he get some fresh air for the first time in two centuries, Asley sets out to reintegrate into society and test his magic mettle. His mission? Dropping several unglamorous titles from his repertoire and restoring his good (okay, decent) name. A brand-new world and fresh adventures await Asley after his many years of hermitage. Perhaps he’ll lend Pochi a hand to place first in the mysterious Familiar Feud. Or maybe he’ll lose all vestiges of dignity and turn tail. Whichever comes first! No matter what, Asley has great evil to fight, a big world to save, and even a little growing up to do…that is, if he can endure Pochi’s “friendly advice” along the way!
