New YA Comics and Nonfiction for November 2025: What’s Hot

As we step into the last few weeks of November 2025, it’s time to dive into the fresh releases in the world of young adult (YA) comics and nonfiction. While this month doesn’t boast a large number of new titles, which can be a blessing in disguise, it offers ample time for you to catch up on the gems already on the shelves this year. After all, who doesn’t need more time to read?

A Quick Glimpse into New Titles

Though this month might not showcase as much diversity as the YA genre typically offers throughout the year, it’s common for November to wind down the publishing scene. But don’t fret! We can expect a resurgence of exciting, diverse options as we welcome the new year.

For those celebrating Thanksgiving in the US, enjoy the warmth of the holiday. It’s the perfect opportunity to wrap yourself in your favorite blanket, sip on something warm (or cold), and lose yourself in a good book. For our readers outside the US, just a quick note that there won’t be a newsletter tomorrow; enjoy your reading!

New Comics to Read

1. Always Raining Here by Hazel and Bell

This standalone queer comic adapted from Webtoons is a delightful read. The story revolves around Carter—an impulsive and fun-loving character on a quest for love. Unfortunately, his options are limited until Adrian enters his life. Although Adrian entertains the idea of a new relationship, he is still grappling with feelings for his ex.

As the story unfolds at a lively house party, an unexpected bond develops between Carter and Adrian. It’s heartwarming yet complicated, especially when Adrian’s self-destructive tendencies surface. Will their growing friendship transform into something deeper, or will past struggles tear them apart before they even begin?

2. I Wanna Be Your Girl, Volume 2 by Umi Takase

This volume continues the captivating journey of Hime and Akira, following the success of Volume 1 earlier this year. Here’s a recap for those who missed it:

In I Wanna Be Your Girl, Volume 1, Hime has always been in love with her best friend Akira. As they grow up, Hime finds herself increasingly protective of Akira, especially after Akira bravely comes out as her true self upon starting high school.

Akira starts to attract attention, and Hime, in her protective nature, decides to try dressing like a boy to understand Akira’s experience. This unconventional approach leads to an exploration of friendship and identity that’s both touching and real.
