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

t's that time of the week again 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!

Please Go Home, Miss Akutsu!

Seven Seas Entertainment is happy to announce, through its Ghost Ship imprint for older readers, the license acquisition of the manga series Please Go Home, Miss Akutsu! by Taichi Nagaoka, a raunchy rom-com about a quiet guy and his voluptuous houseguest who just won’t stop making herself at home!

About Please Go Home, Miss Akutsu!:
Timid Ooyama keeps to himself at school, and he certainly never gets involved with Akutsu Riko, a delinquent as buxom as she is notorious. But when she turns up at his apartment out of the blue, what’s he supposed to do, kick her out? She’s gorgeous! And scary! But things get complicated when Akutsu asks to stay the night, then starts turning up over and over again after school--reading Ooyama’s manga, sprawling out on his bed, and digging up his smut stash. Why exactly is she claiming his life as her hangout?! She makes it clear there’s no way she could possibly like him, but the teasing threatens to boil over into something more in this sexy yet adorable slice-of-life rom-com!
 
Please Go Home, Miss Akutsu! Vol. 1 will be released for the first time in North America in April 2023 for $13.99 USA / $17.99 CAN, with the series available in print and on digital platforms in single volume editions as part of Seven Seas’ Ghost Ship imprint.

I Didn’t Mean to Fall in Love

Seven Seas Entertainment is excited to announce the license acquisition of the self-contained manga I Didn’t Mean to Fall in Love by Minta Suzumaru. In this Mature-rated Boys’ Love romance, a 30-year-old virgin finds himself falling for a charming flirt who doesn’t want anything more serious than a casual fling...or does he?

About I Didn’t Mean to Fall in Love:
Yoshino knows, at the age of 30, that he wants to be with men, but he doesn’t know how to find one. When he overhears some women at work talking about a gay bar, he realizes that for some people, it’s just that easy. He thinks the flashy college student Rou is one of those people when Rou readily offers to have sex with him. But Yoshino finds himself falling for the charming young man, despite his best efforts. After all, it’s not possible to find Mr. Right by sleeping with the first man who offers, is it?
 
I Didn’t Mean to Fall in Love will be released for the first time in print in North America in March 2023 for $14.99 USA / $18.99 CAN, available in a single large-trim edition as part of the new Seven Seas BL label (Boys’ Love titles). An ebook will also be available on digital platforms.

About My Girlfriend’s Child:
Sachi and her boyfriend Takara are a young couple in high school. They go to school together, hang out, and even engage in the more intimate side of dating. However, after a recent evening of sex, Sachi gets the feeling that something isn’t right and buys a pregnancy test.
