Crossed Hearts describes the main synopsis of Afternoon Tea for Two as:
“If I were to die, who would you drink tea with?”
Mitsuruko, a refined yet endearingly absent-minded young lady, opens her home to Ritsu, a practical vocational student newly arrived in Tokyo. What begins as a matter of convenience soon grows into a quiet companionship, shaped by shared laughter, small mishaps, and the comforting ritual of afternoon tea.
Long ago, Mitsuruko was told by her grandmother to find someone to share tea with. But after leaving home, she comes to understand just how lonely a solitary cup can be. Now, brought together by chance, the two begin to fill that quiet space in each other’s lives.
For Ritsu, life with Mitsuruko is anything but orderly meals are burnt, bathwater is left running, and the rhythm of the household is delightfully unpredictable. She cannot help but question what lies ahead, yet gradually begins to see the quiet warmth beneath Mitsuruko’s clumsy charm.
Bound by a promise whispered over teacups, they navigate the small, fleeting moments of daily life, discovering that even the most ordinary days can hold something quietly extraordinary.
Crossed Hearts also announced that it will unveil announcements for its new Boys’ Love-focused Blush Club imprint next week.
TaaRO’s manhua comic Borrowing Your Textbook 175160 and Fujimatsu’s Time is a Closet were the first two licenses confirmed for release under the Glam Beat! imprint. A total of 12 new yuri manga licenses will be announced from the publisher throughout 2026.
Glam Beat! is an imprint from Crossed Hearts focused on publishing yuri, Girls’ Love, and baihe manga, manhwa, manhua, and novel titles. It was first launched at the end of last December, with Crossed Hearts’ official Twitter/X account describing the imprint as having “women-driven stories” that are “intimate, bold, and unapologetically romantic.”
