After losing hope of a Seven seas annoucement to my liking, this happens! Seven seas redeemed! Will definitely check it out.

If BL is the only genre you read then Seven Seas to the best of my knowledge most of the time won't be the publisher for you, but times like this are of course a great reason to be excited!

I'm personally not a fan of BL but regardless I just wanted to say congrats to all of the BL fans here, it's always a really great feeling when genres you enjoy get a license picked up by an official Western publishing company. Very Happy

It's nice to see it has an official. It is indeed an adorable and innocent manga. Smile

Is this Seven Sea's first BL license? I can't recall anything else they've done offhand.

The art on this looks extremely old-school, to the point that the thought "Rumiko Takahashi fanfiction" crossed my mind.... But hopefully it will be cute. Smile

Funny, I had pretty much the opposite reaction. After pumping out announcements of titles I'm looking forward to there's finally one dud to give my wallet a rest.

This is the most un-BL like artwork I've seen in a western publication. It might end up in my collection simply for that reason Laughing

Never heard of this but that art style is sooo up my alley. Definite purchase just off that. What a pleasant surprise of a license.

Pfft, maybe they'll actually manage to release this one! Won't hold my breath though. Would have preferred a publisher that cares about the genre to get it, frankly.

This manga is so cute so I'm glad it's picked up! It's so sweet and the retro art style is funky.

Just picked up a copy and it's so adorable! I've read just the first couple chapters so far but I'm enjoying the ridiculous and human romantic comedy.
