Georgie Manga Gets English Release via Omoi and Manga Mavericks

The classic shojo series Georgie by Mann Izawa and Yumiko Igarashi will receive its first English localization through a joint effort between digital service Omoi and publisher Manga Mavericks Books. The title is scheduled for an exclusive digital debut in spring 2027, followed by a physical print release in August of the same year.
Set in rural Australia, the narrative follows Georgie, a spirited young girl living with her mother and two older brothers. Her life transforms after she encounters Lowell, an English nobleman, prompting a journey to England to uncover her family origins. Originally serialized in Japan starting in 1982, the work is described as a coming-of-age story centered on themes of love and self-discovery.
Manga Mavericks also announced additional titles during its October 2026 event, including Gago Hunters: Greetings from Amatsumizu City's Gago Suppression Squad by Sho Yunoko, arriving July 27, 2027, and a variant cover for Taiyo Matsumoto’s Brothers of Japan in February 2027.
