Yama Wayama’s Let’s Go Karaoke! and Captivated, by You manga are both single-volume titles published under Enterbrain’s Beam Comics imprint, after originally being published as doujin. Yen Press releases both manga in English for North America.
Captivated, by You was first published as a doujin on February 17, 2019, before being published by Enterbrain on August 10, 2019. It inspired a 5-episode live-action TV drama in 2021.
Meanwhile, Let’s Go Karaoke! debuted as a doujin on August 25, 2019 and was released by Enterbrain on September 12, 2020. It inspired a manga sequel in 2020 and a live-action film that was released this past January.
Yen Press describes the premise of Let’s Go Karaoke! as:
Nothing worries Satomi Oka more than the upcoming final choir competition of his middle school career — right up until he is accosted by a stranger from the shadows who demands, “Let’s go karaoke!” As a yakuza, Kyouji Narita doesn’t scare easily, but a terrifying prospect has driven him to seek Satomi’s help. The boss is holding a karaoke contest, with the loser forced to get a tattoo to be selected and torturously applied by the boss himself! Oka has been to many vocal rehearsals over the years, but never one-on-one karaoke sessions with a gangster!!
Captivated, by You is described by Yen Press as:
Hayashi’s frank, guileless demeanor quietly draws the attention of classmates and strangers as he counts all the stairs in school, photographs street signs, and dries sweet potatoes on the classroom balcony. In a world shaped by conformity, Hayashi is refreshingly and unapologetically true to himself. Conversely, Nikaidou has worked very hard to perfect a gloomy, dour façade that keeps his classmates far, far away. While much of the school regards Nikaidou as a bad omen, one student catches a glimpse behind the mask and-undeterred by rumors of bad luck and supernatural powers-begins to pick away Nikaidou’s carefully crafted persona…
