It's another Wonderful Wednesday, and that means it's once again time for our friends at Seven Seas to reveal their latest license acquisitions! This week they have two manga titles, two light novel series, and three danmei novel series for everyone to look forward to! Details, covers, and more for these titles can be found below!

Aharen-san is Indecipherable

Picture
Seven Seas Entertainment is excited to announce the license acquisition of the manga series Aharen-san is Indecipherable by Asato Mizu. The manga that inspired the adorable anime—available in 2-volume omnibuses! A socially awkward girl befriends her seatmate in this heartwarming rom-com series.

About Aharen-san is Indecipherable:
Super quiet Aharen Reina isn’t great with personal space—she’s either inches from your face or too far to hear, leaving people totally baffled. But when Raido, the friendly guy seated next to her, helps retrieve a dropped eraser, Aharen suddenly wants to get closer to him. From that moment on, she’s constantly by his side. And surprisingly...he’s cool with it.

This offbeat, sweet-natured rom-com proves that friendship—and maybe even something more—can bloom from the most awkward encounters.

Aharen-san is Indecipherable (Omnibus) Vol. 1-2 will be printed for the first time in the English language in February 2026 for $20.99 USA / $26.99 CAN, with the series available in omnibus editions. Ebook editions will also be available on digital platforms.

When one FPS gamer clumsily falls off the map of his MMORPG, he finds himself transported to a totally different world! Can he use his shooter skills in a world of magic and fantasy?

About When a Clueless First-Person Shooter Player Falls into Another World:
Schwarz is a pro at first-person shooter games and spends his time playing VRMMOFPS, a game filled with a plethora of guns and enemies. But during one game, a single misstep causes Schwarz to fall between the map and instead of losing a life, he’s transported to a new world! While he’s able to access all the guns from his original game, he quickly realizes that the world around him is 100% real and not a game. Can a FPS expert survive in the land of magic and fantasy?

When a Clueless First-Person Shooter Player Falls into Another World (Light Novel) Vol. 1 will be released digitally-only for the first time in the English language in January 2026.

When a Clueless First-Person Shooter Player Falls into Another World (Manga) Vol. 1 will be released for the first time in the English language in March 2026 for $13.99 USA / $18.99 CAN, in single volume editions. Ebook editions will also be available on digital platforms.

About I Wish I Could Meet You Again on the Hill Where That Flower Blooms:
Kano Yuri is frustrated by her unchanging, boring life. After fighting with her mother, she decides to run away, hoping to find a new purpose. But when she spends the night in an air-raid shelter, she wakes up in a completely different time! 

Alone in a time that’s not hers, she meets a handsome Kamikaze pilot who could help her—if her feelings don’t get in the way. Just what lies in store for this modern girl and soldier from the past?

Golden Terrace

Picture
Seven Seas Entertainment is excited to announce the license acquisition of the danmei/Boys’ Love novel series Golden Terrace by Cang Wu Bin Bai. Two nemeses must put aside their differences and enter a political marriage arranged by the emperor. Will their burning hatred for one another become something even stronger? The beloved danmei (Boys’ Love) novel returns with an all-new translation and illustrations!

About Golden Terrace:
The renowned Marquis of Jingning, commander of the Beiyan Cavalry, Fu Shen is a powerful figure in the Imperial military and commands great respect. When he is injured on the battlefield, the emperor arranges a marriage for him upon his return home to the capital. Unfortunately for Fu Shen, not only is his new spouse a man, but it’s his political nemesis, the famed Imperial Investigator of the Feilong Guard, Yan Xiaohan. 

Divided by political differences, it seems impossible that the two of them can live peacefully under one roof. Yet, somehow, they gradually find their footing with one another and even manage to accept each other’s presence. But this is merely the calm before the storm as the mystery behind the attack at the northern border begins to unfold. What danger threatens the peace of Great Zhou, and what will it mean for these rivals-turned-spouses? 

Golden Terrace (Novel) Vol. 1 will be released in the English language in June 2026 for $19.99 USA / $26.99 CAN, with the series available in large-trim paperback editions as part of the Seven Seas Danmei label. Ebook editions will also be available on digital platforms.

Little Mushroom

Picture
Seven Seas Entertainment is excited to announce the license acquisition of the danmei/Boys’ Love novel series Little Mushroom by Yi Shi Si Zhou. In a near-future world, humans and non-humans alike must endure in a world that wants them dead. The fan-favorite danmei (Boys’ Love) novels return with an all-new translation and illustrations!

About Little Mushroom:
In the year 2020, humanity was nearly wiped out by cosmic radiation. Over the next one hundred years, living creatures began to change and mutate while the remaining humans struggled to survive in man-made bases. 

Down in the Abyss, a home to mutated xenogenics, there lived a sentient mushroom. Nourished by the flesh and blood of the deceased An Ze, the mushroom took on the form of its host and even adopted a similar name: An Zhe. Seeking his missing spore, harvested by humans, An Zhe is determined to make it to the human base to retrieve what’s his. But the closer he gets to the base, the higher his risk of death increases.

Unfortunately for An Zhe, there are those who prowl the streets seeking xenogenics like himself—known as Judges, they inspect and eliminate non-humans without a second thought, sparing no one. And when An Zhe finds himself under the scrutiny of Colonel Lu Feng—the most perceptive and merciless of the Judges—he somehow goes undetected but not unsuspected. Lu Feng knows there’s something off about An Zhe, and he’s not letting him out of his sight until he figures it out. 

Can An Zhe get back his spore without revealing his mutation to Lu Feng, or will everything unravel? 

Little Mushroom (Novel) Vol. 1 will be released in the English language in May 2026 for $19.99 USA / $26.99 CAN, with the series available in large-trim paperback editions as part of the Seven Seas Danmei label. Ebook editions will also be available on digital platforms.

Little Mushroom (Novel) Vol. 1 (Special Edition) will be released in the English language in May 2026 for $29.99 USA / $39.99 CAN, with the series available in large-trim paperback editions as part of the Seven Seas Danmei label.

The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System: Ren Zha Fanpai Zijiu Xitong

Picture
Seven Seas Entertainment is pleased to announce the upcoming release of a deluxe hardcover edition box set for the danmei/Boys’ Love novel series The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System: Ren Zha Fanpai Zijiu Xitong by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu. This beautiful hardcover collection of the 4-volume New York Times bestselling series—the first-ever deluxe danmei box set from Seven Seas—will be a limited edition release, and printed only once.

About The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System: Ren Zha Fanpai Zijiu Xitong:
Half-demon Luo Binghe rose from humble beginnings and a tortured past to become unrivaled in strength and beauty. With his dominion over both the Human and Demon Realms and his hundreds-strong harem, he is truly the most powerful protagonist...in a trashy webnovel series!

At least, that's what Shen Yuan believes as he finishes reading the final chapter in Proud Immortal Demon Way. But when a bout of rage leads to his sudden death, Shen Yuan is reborn into the world of the novel in the body of Shen Qingqiu--the beautiful but cruel teacher of a young Luo Binghe. While Shen Qingqiu may have the incredible power of a cultivator, he is destined to be horrifically punished for crimes against the protagonist.

The new Shen Qingqiu now has only one course of action: get into Luo Binghe's good graces before the young man's rise to power or suffer the awful fate of a true scum villain!

This Chinese fantasy (xianxia) comedy built around the romanticized love between two men (danmei) has been translated into numerous languages and inspired the animated series Scumbag System, which amassed millions of streaming views.

The deluxe hardcover rerelease of Seven Seas' bestselling English-language paperbacks features special embellishments: all volumes include dust jackets with all-new art and foil, new foil illustrations against the hardcovers themselves, elaborate printed edges, and ribbon bookmarks, with the four books encased in a beautifully illustrated slipcase alongside a mini artbook for the series and two all-new mini posters. Plus, every box set in this limited edition printing is numbered. Featuring art from Xiao Tong Kong (Velinxi) and special guest artists.

The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System: Ren Zha Fanpai Zijiu Xitong (Deluxe Hardcover Novel) Box Set will be released in February 2026 for $139.99 USA / $189.99 CAN.
