Despite these hiccups, 2021 saw the release of many excellent manga series and light novels. Titles like Boys Run the Riot and I Think Our Son Is Gay expanded the types of queer stories told via the format.

And Solo Leveling opened the door for more translated Korean webnovels in North America. Thankfully, next year continues the trend. Here are some new 2022 manga you should keep an eye out for.
