Seven Seas Announces New Manga Acquisitions (October 2022 #3)

It's once again that time of the week where our friends at Seven Seas outline some of their new license acquisitions and they have three new manga titles for everyone to look forward to! Details, covers, and more for these titles can be seen below!

Amongst Us

Seven Seas Entertainment is pleased to announce, through its team-up with webcomic publisher Hiveworks Comics, the license acquisition of the full-color graphic novel Amongst Us by Shilin Huang. This fun LGBT+ tale borne from the popular and long-running fantasy webcomic Carciphona can be read and enjoyed independently, and will be distributed in a new trade paperback edition to bookstores and other retailers around the world!

About Amongst Us:
Veloce loves Blackbird. Blackbird loves Veloce. These two young women may have strange chemistry and seemingly nothing in common, but somehow, their offbeat relationship works. Join them for a dance through the city they call home as they satisfy Blackbird’s sweet tooth and indulge Veloce in her attempts to understand fashion. In an alternate universe, this sorceress and assassin share a very different reality...but in this one, they’re a modern couple who have built a life together—and they intend to enjoy it.
 
Amongst Us - Book 1: Soulmates will be released worldwide in July 2023 for $17.99 USA / $21.99 CAN, available in a large-trim trade paperback edition with an exclusive new cover. An ebook edition will also be available on digital platforms.

A Stepmother's Märchen

​Seven Seas Entertainment is excited to announce the license acquisition of the manhwa webtoon series A Stepmother’s Märchen by Spice&kitty and ORKA, a full-color fantasy comic of romance, drama, and second chances. Also known in English as The Fantasie of a Stepmother on the Tapas Media digital platform, this is the story of a beleaguered young noblewoman raising her stepchildren on her own...until she dies and wakes up in the past with the chance to remake her life!

About A Stepmother's Märchen:
The marchioness Shuri Von Neuschwanstein is no stranger to hardship: her husband dies when she’s still a teenager, leaving her to manage his lands and raise his semi-grown children herself. Her stepchildren never warm up to her, and other nobles disparage her behind her back. Years later, however, it seems her efforts have finally paid off: her eldest stepson is to be married and take over the estate, freeing her of many responsibilities. But shortly after learning the cruel truth that she’s not invited to his wedding, she dies and wakes up on the day of her husband’s funeral seven years earlier! If Shuri is to live these seven difficult years all over again, she’s going to do things differently. Can she write her own fairy tale ending this time around?
 
A Stepmother's Märchen Vol. 1 will be released for the first time in print in North America in August 2023 for $19.99 USA / $26.99 CAN, with the series available in single large-trim paperback editions.

Who Made Me a Princess

​Seven Seas Entertainment is delighted to announce the license acquisition of the manhwa webtoon series Who Made Me a Princess by Plutus and Spoon. In this full-color fantasy comic, a modern woman is reincarnated as the doomed princess in a romance novel—and reaches out to grab a new future with both baby fists!

About Who Made Me a Princess:
The story of Athanasia, forsaken princess of the Obelian Empire, ends with her execution at the hands of her own father—or does it? Her tragic tale is the plot of the novel The Lovely Princess. But now, a modern woman who read the book has just woken up as baby Athanasia herself, filled with her own memories and knowledge of the story she’s stuck in! Determined to survive her doomed fate, infant Athanasia embarks on this new life with a plan: avoid attention and hoard valuables to fund her escape. When her plan goes awry, she suddenly needs to charm her way into the good graces of her father, the beautiful tyrant emperor, so he doesn’t kill her again!
 
Who Made Me a Princess Vol. 1 will be released for the first time in print in North America in March 2023 for $19.99 USA / $26.99 CAN, with the series available in single large-trim paperback editions.
