Rosmei announced their acquisition of several new danmei licenses, which will be released sometime in 2025 – 2026. The licenses include several manhua. A few of the novels will be available in eBook format thanks to a collaboration with Publang for which Rosmei has yet to provide details.
Publang is an ePUB platform, meaning that Rosmei’s upcoming eBooks will likely only be available to purchase via the Publang site; rather than being available on all standard platforms such as Kindle, NOOK, etc.

Rosmei has not yet shared estimated release dates or preorder information for any of the upcoming titles. However, they have added the new licenses to the status page on their site, which is periodically updated to reflect each series’ current state of production.
All interested buyers outside of Singapore must use group order services, forwarding services, or other third-party sites to make their purchases and ship their books. Rosmei’s distribution rights only permit them to sell inside Singapore, meaning that these books will not be available for purchase at North American retailers like Barnes & Noble, Indigo/Chapters, or Amazon.
Rosmei does not provide summaries for any of their licensed series. Some of their new licenses are quite obscure, leaving fans to wonder which of the upcoming releases might be relevant to their interests. DanmeiNews has provided summaries (when able) on the individual series’ pages, linked above.
Additionally, Rosmei’s choice to localize Tun Hai/吞海 as Hunt for the Leviathan garnered criticism from series fans. The series is a sequel to Po Yun/破云, and the Chinese titles are meant to pair with each other: “breaking [the] clouds” and “swallowing [the] seas.” Rosmei also owns an English distribution license for Po Yun, which they localized as A Break in the Clouds. Fans said that Rosmei’s chosen English title of Hunt for the Leviathan did not appear to have any relevance to A Break in the Clouds’ title.
In response to these criticisms, Rosmei posted the following explanation:
“The title choice for tunhai:
The Chinese title tunhai (lit. “swallow sea”) refers to the destruction of a large criminal organisation that has roots going as deep as the lowest point on earth – the Mariana Trench. Going off of this motif, we chose leviathan (i.e. something or someone that is extremely large and powerful [Cambridge Dictionary]) to represent the criminal organisation and hunt instead of swallow.”
