Yen Press has announced that it has licensed the Shadow Student Council Vice President Gives Her All and Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Side Story manga, and the omnibus edition of King of Eden.

Yen Press describes Shadow Student Council Vice President Gives Her All as:

Actions speak louder than words in this spin-off of the absurd and raunchy Prison School! With lovingly detailed art by ReDrop, no task is too small (and no shirt is too big) for Meiko Shiraki, the domineering yet kind vice president of the Shadow Student Council!

The publisher describes Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Side Story as:

After seeing an unfamiliar girl in her dreams, Iroha Tamaki finds herself chasing a tiny Kyubey into Kamihama, a city where magical girls gather. What secrets does this city hold, and how will Iroha cope with life as a magical girl herself? A new story unfolds in this manga adaptation of the upcoming mobile game!

All three titles are scheduled to be released in December 2019.
