Seven Seas Licenses Wakaba Won't Give Up! Manga Series

(February 19, 2025) — Seven Seas Entertainment is pleased to announce the license acquisition of the manga series Wakaba Won’t Give Up! by Konkichi. One tomboy is determined to win the heart of her childhood best friend–but will it take more than a makeover to win him over?

Wakaba is cocky, condescending, foul-mouthed, and absolutely in love with her childhood friend, Daiki. For as long as they've known each other, Wakaba's been the very image of a roughhousing tomboy, but all that's about to change. When she shows up in front of him, wearing a cutesy, feminine outfit, will she get the hopeless late bloomer's heart racing? When you can't put your feelings into words, an image change might just be the right gambit!

Wakaba Won’t Give Up! Vol. 1 will be printed for the first time in the English language in September 2025 for $13.99 USA / $17.99 CAN, with the series available in single volume editions. Ebook editions will also be available on digital platforms.
