365 Days to the Wedding

Seven Seas Entertainment is happy to announce the license acquisition of the manga series 365 Days to the Wedding by Tamiki Wakaki, a sweet “fake engagement” romance about quiet coworkers by the creator of The World God Only Knows—inspired the live-action drama Map for The Wedding!

About 365 Days to the Wedding:
Takuya and Rika are coworkers in a travel agency in Tokyo. They’re both single, but they don’t mind, since they’re introverts with fulfilling lives at home. Unfortunately, now their job is looking to staff an office in Siberia, and non-married employees are the first to be considered. Rika is desperate to avoid the transfer and goes to Takuya with an idea: if they pretend they’re getting married in a year, they can stay in Tokyo. The only problem is the two of them barely know each other! If these two quiet coworkers “fake” a relationship, will it turn into something real?
 
365 Days to the Wedding Vol. 1 will be released for the first time in North America in November 2023 for $13.99 USA / $17.99 CAN, with the series available in single volume editions.

Anyhow, the Rabbit Is Infatuated with the Puppy

Seven Seas Entertainment is delighted to announce the license acquisition of the manga Anyhow, the Rabbit Is Infatuated with the Puppy by Nie, a sweet and Mature-rated Boys’ Love romance between an introverted salaryman and the young man he meets in an MMO game!

About Anyhow, the Rabbit Is Infatuated with the Puppy:
Usagi Akira is a twenty-five-year-old introverted office worker who lives for two things: shojo manga and the spare moments when he can log into his favorite MMO, Tail Earth. There, his avatar is a beautiful bunny girl, and he’s able to go on adventures with the charming wolf-boy Gakuto. When Gakuto asks if Akira wants to meet up IRL for the Tail Earth fan con, Akira agrees. Sparks fly between the two, despite neither of them being quite what the other expected, and they soon fall hard for each other and decide to date! They don’t have much experience when it comes to romance, but this gamer couple is eager to figure it out together.
 
Anyhow, the Rabbit Is Infatuated with the Puppy will be released for the first time in North America in November 2023 for $14.99 USA / $18.99 CAN, with the book available in print and on digital platforms in a single volume edition as part of the Seven Seas BL label (Boys’ Love titles).
