Cross Infinite World publisher announced this Wednesday, January 7, 2026, the licensing of three new English-language light novels, with release scheduled for February and March of this same year. Among the titles, the promising story “Goodbye, Horrible Fiancé, Hello, Fun Magic School Life!” stands out, promising to combine elements of romance, fantasy, and an unusual touch of comedy, already catching the attention of isekai and shoujo romance genre fans in Brazil.
The main plot revolves around Amelia, a protagonist who refuses to accept an unhappy fate. With a fiancé who has ignored her for years, she realizes she cannot find him in simple clothes, but, thanks to a peculiar magic linked to strawberries, she finds an unexpected way out. Thus, the narrative promises to explore not only a journey of self-discovery but also twists that go beyond the apparent silence of the fiancé, Luke. This announcement is relevant as it reinforces the growing trend of the light novel market in the West, meeting a growing demand from the Brazilian public for more licensed and accessible titles.
Detailed Synopsis and Other Titles
The official synopsis of “Goodbye, Horrible Fiancé, Hello, Fun Magic School Life!” paints a curious scenario. Amelia, using her strawberry magic to secure funds, ends up having a completely unexpected encounter. However, does Luke’s silence hide something more? The proposal is precisely to follow the heroine trying to break the time loops of a Saint and, finally, communicate with a fiancé who may be more attentive than he appears. In addition to this title, Cross Infinite World has also secured the rights to two more works, still without announced titles, expanding its catalog for the first quarter of 2026.
For Brazilian readers, this news comes as a good omen for the year that begins. Access to more light novels in English facilitates the discovery of new stories before possible anime or manga adaptations. Thus, the publisher’s strategy seems clear: capitalize on narratives with strong female protagonists and premises that mix popular genres, a combo that has everything to please the audience.
