Publisher Kodansha announced during their Kodansha House NY 2026 the English license acquisition of the Yuri manga “Powerless Without You” by Tama Tamasaki.
“Powerless Without You” (無力聖女と無能王女), known as “Helpless Saint and the Powerless Princess”, was first serialized in Comic Yuri Hime magazine in 2024. The on-going Girls Love series currently has 4 volumes in print in Japan. “Powerless Without You” Volume 1 is set to be released in Fall 2027.
Kodansha Synopsis: In this thrilling yuri fantasy, Nana’s just out of college, trying to make her way on a series of part-time jobs, when she finds herself whisked away from her bedroom into a parallel world of magic! To her shock, she’s told that she is the great Saintess who will bring peace and prosperity to the whole country. Except for one tiny problem—she soon discovers she has absolutely zero magical power—none! To make matters worse, the princess she’s been summoned to serve with can’t cast even a single spell. A Saintess with no magic power, and a princess who can’t use her own—a pair of failures, doomed to become a laughingstock…or a partnership that might deepen into something more?
