She Is Still Cute Today Vol. 1 was first spotted for preorder on TokyoPop’s site in June 2025 [Source: Twitter/X], but this marks the publisher’s first official announcement of the license. The volume was originally slated for a February 17, 2026 release and was later delayed to June 30, 2026, and then again to July 28, 2026.
TokyoPop provides the below summary for Vol. 1:
This adorable Chinese Girls Love manhua that has been adapted into a live action series tells a unique story about two very different girls falling in love.
As the top freshman at Brilliant Minds High, Sadie Cang is surrounded by students who admire her brilliance, yet she lacks a single real friend. Fellow student Lex Qi has long since accepted her own hopeless, “dead last” title, along with everyone’s aversion to her seemingly contagious tendency to fail. Although they were both prepared to go through high school in these lonely roles, a silly rumor forced them together. Will an imperfect pairing form the perfect bond they never knew they wanted?
The publisher’s decision to use westernized versions of the characters’ names has been met with criticism from some fans [Source: Twitter/X]. The webtoon site Tapas uses the same English name choices in their online release of the series and has an identical summary, which could indicate that TokyoPop may have purchased Tapas’ translation for their physical release. It is not uncommon for print publishers to purchase pre-existing translations from webtoon publishers, as the practice can save production costs and provide existing fans with a familiar experience.
She Is Still Cute Today Vol. 1 is slated for release on July 28, 2026. Preorders are now live with select retailers:

She Is Still Cute Today
今天的她也是如此可爱
[Synopsis Provided by TokyoPop:]
Cang Shu is the top student in her grade at a prestigious high school. She's always focused on studying, which is why she finds it supremely annoying when suddenly there are rumors all around school about her and the #1 boy in class, Cui Xin. Cang Shu has no interest in dating, but no one seems to believe her. In order to stave off the rumor mill, Cang Shu instead decides to declare that she's interested in the lowest-ranked student in their grade: Qi Lin. One thing she definitely did not count on when making this declaration? Qi Lin was right behind her and heard everything. And now Cang Shu has this clumsy, bottom-ranked girl following her around all the time! Will this accidental entanglement end up bringing these very different girls together?
