Seven Seas Licenses Smell Boys' Love Manga

(March 12, 2025) — Seven Seas Entertainment is excited to announce the license acquisition of the Boys Love manga SMELL by Nagabe. From the bestselling manga creator comes a new furry BL story about two pups picking up the scent of love!

At a school filled with beastmen, two young pups have an awkward encounter that could lead to something more. Joseph, a young border collie, catches the shy and quiet bloodhound Noi sniffing his shirt one day in between classes. Rather than being put off, Joseph treats Noi with kindness and understanding, and even manages to get the timid bloodhound to open up. Turns out, Noi loves Joseph's scent! With this new revelation, a bond grows between them and before they know it, the pups are obsessed with each other's scent. Are they just messing around, fueled by raging hormones, or is there something more between Joseph and Noi?

SMELL will be released in October 2025 for $14.99 USA / $18.99 CAN, with the manga available in a single-volume edition as part of the Seven Seas BL Label (Boys' Love titles). An ebook edition will also be available on digital platforms.
