One Peace Books Licenses The Delinquent Girl Beside Me Suddenly Dyed Her Hair Black

One Peace Books has announced the licensing of The Delinquent Girl Beside Me Suddenly Dyed Her Hair Black, a three-volume manga adaptation of an ongoing light novel series by author Teika. The story centers on Daiki Honda, an unambitious high school student who describes his ideal romantic partner to a friend. The following day, Kei Shimizu, a classmate previously known for her blond hair and delinquent behavior, dyes her hair black and adopts the personality traits Honda described. This shift prompts Honda and Shimizu to bond during school activities, revealing that they had met in middle school before she changed her appearance.

The English release is translated by Kenneth Cardoen. Volume 1 is now available, with Volume 2 scheduled for release in June 2027. No date has been set for the final volume. The source material remains unlicensed in the West, meaning readers cannot access the original light novels. The manga features artwork by Sanada Waka, marking her first serialization.
