Seven Seas Licenses Far From Romance Boys' Love Manga

(March 12, 2025) — Seven Seas Entertainment is excited to announce the license acquisition of the Mature-rated Boys Love manga Far From Romance by Amamiya. A Boys' Love office romance about mistaken identities and unexpected reunions.

Tono Arata has lived in the same sleepy seaside town his entire life. Employed at a small IT firm, each day seems to blend into the next. Yet his quiet life is shaken up when his company announces they've hired a new employee--a gorgeous blue-eyed Brit named Lewis! At first Tono is taken aback by his foreign colleague's touchy-feely mannerisms and blunt manner of speaking, but it quickly becomes obvious to him that there's something unspoken behind those blue eyes that follow him around the office. So when Lewis suddenly asks if Tono remembers him, he's understandably thrown for a loop. Just who is this hunky ex-pat and how does he know Tono?!

Far From Romance will be released in December 2025 for $15.99 USA / $20.99 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.
