 Seven Seas Entertainment is thrilled to announce the license acquisition of three novel series from China that inspired global multimedia empires: "The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System" (Ren Zha Fanpai Zijiu Xitong), "Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation" (Mo Dao Zu Shi), and "Heaven Official’s Blessing" (Tian Guan Ci Fu).
These three novel series comprise the entire current works of the wildly popular author Mo Xiang Tong Xiu, whose historical Chinese fantasy novels in the danmei genre (romanticized love between men) have inspired multiple blockbuster adaptations, including the live-action series "The Untamed" (inspired by "Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation") and animated series for "Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation" and "Heaven Official’s Blessing". These adaptations have amassed billions of views around the world. Seven Seas will launch all three Volume 1’s from each novel series on the same release date: December 7, 2021.  "B: The Beginning"’s Kazuto Nakazawa creates a new tale of adventure in a unique world. Set in the 18th century, it is a romantic journey on the high seas with princesses, samurai, and pirates! "Fena: Pirate Princess" will begin broadcasting in North America on Adult Swim’s Toonami block and streaming on Crunchyroll in August 2021. Its broadcast in Japan is slated to start in October 2021. Along with this, new details regarding its soundtrack have been released!
