Seven Seas Licenses Wimpy Demon King and Tsundere Hero Boys' Love Manga

(January 15, 2025) — Seven Seas Entertainment is pleased to announce the license acquisition of the Boys Love manga Wimpy Demon King and Tsundere Hero by Haruo Natsuno. When one prince seeks to defeat the Demon King, he discovers that the demon is actually a huge wimp! A Boys' Love enemies-to-lovers manga with a rom-com twist.

Prince Ike embarked on an epic quest with one goal: defeat the evil Demon King of Mano and free his kingdom from fear. Disguised as a woman, Ike hopes to feign being kidnapped and get closer to the king. Things almost go according to plan, but right before Ike can make the deadly strike, he's knocked out by the Demon King's retainers. When he comes to, he discovers that he's not chained up or being kept a prisoner and is instead treated to a meal! Still full of fight, Ike declares he won't be going anywhere until he defeats the Demon King.

Unfortunately for Prince Ike, the supposedly great and powerful Demon King is actually a huge wimp! Every time Ike tries to attack him, the demon just runs away or hides. It becomes a daily occurrence, and before Ike knows it, he's actually learning a lot about this Demon King. Like how he treasures all of his houseplants, and he's quite a worry wart over everyone—even Ike! As the two spend more time together, will this lead to something unexpected?

Wimpy Demon King and Tsundere Hero will be released for the first time in the English language in November 2025 for $15.99 USA / $19.99 CAN, with the manga available in a large-trim paperback edition as part of the Seven Seas BL Label (Boys' Love titles). An ebook edition will also be available on digital platforms.
