It's the end of the spooky season, but you have no reason to fear! Seven Seas has arrived, and they have some new license acquisition to announce! This week they have four manga titles, a webtoon, and two audiobook series for everyone to look forward to! Details, covers, and more for these titles can be found below!

Seduced by the Demon King: A Sensual Rebirth

Seven Seas Entertainment is pleased to announce, through its Steamship imprint dedicated to sexy romance for women, the license acquisition of the Mature-rated manga series Seduced by the Demon King: A Sensual Rebirth by FOXIES. One woman finds herself on the receiving end of a Demon Lord’s revenge—but he’s going to show her a world of pleasure before sending her into despair!

About Seduced by the Demon King: A Sensual Rebirth:
Haruka’s life has hit a dead end—her career is stalled, and her love life is nonexistent. But everything changes when a shooting star crashes at her feet, revealing a sinfully handsome man who claims to be the Demon King. Even more shocking, he insists Haruka was once his sworn enemy, a saint, in a past life. Though she has no memory of their shared history, he seems to know everything about her.

Bent on revenge, the Demon King vows to take Haruka on a journey of exquisite ecstasy, only to plunge her into the depths of despair. His motives may be dark, but the offer of passion and adventure is far more enticing than her mundane reality. Is she ready to embrace the pleasure—and the peril—that comes with surrendering to a demon's touch?

Seduced by the Demon King: A Sensual Rebirth Vol. 1 will be released for the first time in the English print in April 2025 for $15.99 USA / $19.99 CAN, with the series available in single large-trim editions as part of Seven Seas’ Steamship imprint.

When erotic novelist Enomura Haruka and shojo artist Nakata Miruku are brought together by their publisher to collaborate on a new manga, it seems like a perfect match—until the two meet in person and realize just how different they are! Haruka is a bit of a sadist with a cool-guy personality, and he immediately clashes with Miruku, who’s something of a masochist and doesn’t match his bright shojo style at all. There’s one thing the two have in common, however—their love of gourmet food, especially the mail-order variety. Can their passion for amazing food bridge the gap between them? Or could food be the catalyst that causes their passions to boil over? Includes reviews of real gourmet food items from Japan!
