A case of mistaken identity blossoms into love in this lighthearted yuri/Girls’ Love manga! About Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl: When Okuma Satomi’s friend seeks her help wrangling guys for a crossdressing cafe, Satomi winds up with a boyfriend! Sort of. After asking her handsome and aloof classmate, Kanda Mizuki, to help out in the cafe, Mizuki agrees, but on one condition: the two of them must go on a date. Satomi eagerly agrees, delighted to have such a good-looking guy interested in her, but Mizuki realizes that Satomi has completely misunderstood something crucial: Mizuki is a girl! Will this case of mistaken identity blossom into something beautiful, or will the truth leave both girls brokenhearted?

After School Etude Seven Seas Entertainment is excited to announce the license acquisition of the Boys’ Love manga series After School Etude by Hirune Cyan. Love hits the right notes in this BL manga about two unlikely dance partners who make the perfect pair. About After School Etude: When Minobe Chihiro is admitted to a private arts academy to study ballet, the last person he expects to train with is surly second-year student Ichinomiya Shun. Yet by some stroke of luck, the two are paired up for their school’s mandatory pas de deux practice. While Minobe has fallen at first sight for Ichinomiya’s superior dance sense, the second-year’s attitude leaves a lot to be desired. For Ichinomiya, being paired with Minobe as a dance partner is just one of the ways he’d like to be together with his new partner. It’s not just grades that have Ichinomiya dancing with Minobe—he’s head over heels, and he’s after Minobe’s heart! Recommended for Mature Audiences.
