At its industry panel on Friday during Sakura-Con 2025, Ize Press announced that it will publish English print editions of two manhwa : The Merman Trapped in My Lake and I Love Amy (pictured above).
The Merman Trapped in My Lake , illustrated by R.PPOBI and based on an original story by Mitchu, follows Servaine Noxirel, the last heir of a fallen noble house. After hearing strange stories from her great-grandfather — including one about a young girl who trapped a merman in a lake — Servaine comes face-to-face with the creature, who has been waiting for the girl's return for over a century. The story explores whether his long wait was fueled by love or vengeance.
Currently serialized on WEBTOON ( link ) The Merman Trapped in My Lake series has received more than one million views and is classified as both romance fantasy and drama with psychological elements. It explores themes of obsession and longing.
Amy Love, written by Unni, is a finished four-volume girls' love manga. At first, Bibi sees Amy as a competitor for Peter's affections. However, after inviting her over for a sleepover, Bibi experiences new feelings. The narrative blends everyday life scenes with psychological suspense as their bond transforms from rivalry to romance. Originally published on TappyToon.
