Seven Seas Licenses Two Boys' Love Manga by Creator MAMITA

(October 16, 2024) — Seven Seas Entertainment is pleased to announce the license acquisition of two Mature-rated Boys Love manga from MAMITA, creator of Wanna Be My Dress Up Lover? (also available from Seven Seas): 10 Things I Want to Do Before I Turn 40 and Natsume Wants to be Trained!

10 Things I Want to Do Before I Turn 40

In this sweet Boys Love manga, a man's birthday bucket list could lead him to a brand-new love.

Suzume Tōjō is just three months away from turning forty and realizes there's so much he hasn't done with his life! So, he makes a plan: create a private list of things he's always wanted to do and check them off before turning the big four-oh. It's a rather simple list, filled with goals that should be easy to accomplish, like a takoyaki party, enjoying a parfait out in a café, and spending his birthday with a lover. Except, that last one comes with a major problem—Tōjō hasn't had a lover in ten years! But when Keishi Tanaka, Tōjō's handsome junior at the company, discovers the secret list, he's determined to help Tōjō check off every single item—starting with the “lover” part!

A fun, sexy BL romp between an assertive junior colleague and a senior past his prime!

10 Things I Want to Do Before I Turn 40 will be released for the first time in the English language in May 2025 for $15.99 USA / $19.99 CAN, with the manga available in a single, large-trim edition as part of the Seven Seas BL Label (Boys' Love titles). An ebook edition will also be available on digital platforms.

Natsume Wants to be Trained

In this Boys Love manga, one man's desire to become better in bed leads him to an escort with quite the surprise!

Natsume has a problem that's keeping him single and alone: He's lousy in bed! Frustrated by his inability to keep a lover, he comes up with a plan--become a master of sex and shove his newfound bedroom prowess right in his ex's face! The first step? Hiring a male escort to help him improve his skills. But when the escort, Kou, arrives at his home, Natsume is stunned to find that this man is no stranger. In fact, he's Natsume's own housekeeper!
