Ijimete Ijirarete Volume 1 and 2 Covers


Both Volumes Arrive on the Same Day
KADOKAWA has scheduled the first two collected volumes of Ijimete Ijirarete for December 4, 2026. Volume 1 contains 196 pages, while Volume 2 contains 194 pages.
Both books will be published under the Kadokawa Comics Ace imprint in B6 format. Each volume costs ¥979 including tax, bringing the combined price to ¥1,958 before any additional fees.
The latest announcement also gives readers their first look at the two official cover illustrations.
The Secret Relationship Between Himeri Shishido and Ui Odagiri
Ijimete Ijirarete follows Himeri Shishido, a delinquent schoolgirl confident in her physical strength. She frequently picks on her classmate Ui Odagiri, a quiet student interested in otaku culture.
However, an unexpected incident changes their relationship, leading to a secret arrangement known only to the two of them. The story explores romantic attraction through awkward situations, contrasting personalities, and unusual power dynamics.
KADOKAWA describes the series as a girls' love romantic comedy involving dominance, submission, and a relationship built around mutual consent.
Volume 2 Explores a New Stage of Their Relationship
The official Volume 2 synopsis reveals that Ui Odagiri begins recognizing her romantic feelings and confesses to Himeri Shishido. The confession leaves Shishido confused, while Odagiri's affection continues to grow.
In an attempt to make Shishido return her feelings, Odagiri declares that she will no longer participate in the activities they call "matches" and "research."
Both volumes also include manga material exclusive to the collected editions. Volume 1 contains six newly drawn pages, while Volume 2 adds a four-page side story and six newly illustrated pages featuring mature content.
Retailer Bonuses Will Be Announced Later
In his October 31 announcement, Daisuke Chida explained that information about store-specific purchase bonuses will be released at a later date.
KADOKAWA's official catalog already lists both volumes for preorder, although the creator has not yet provided the complete details of the bonus illustrations, items, or distribution requirements.
Meanwhile, the digital serialization of Ijimete Ijirarete continues through Kadocomi. Chapter 15 was released on October 30, 2026.
Why This Matters
1) Readers can start with two volumes immediately
The simultaneous release allows newcomers to follow the early development of Shishido and Odagiri's relationship without waiting for a second collected volume.
2) The story moves toward an open confession
Volume 2 shows that their relationship is evolving beyond its initial power dynamics into more openly expressed romantic feelings.
3) The collected editions include exclusive material
Additional manga pages in both volumes provide something new for readers who have already followed the digital serialization.
