New License: Yoichi & Tsugumo. Story and art by Hayate Kuku. A forest guardian takes in a newly reborn deity-to-be in this touching Boys’ Love manga about two immortals finding love. From the creator of BLACK BLOOD—also from Seven Seas! Tsugumo was given a second chance after dying as a fox cub and was reborn for the sake of becoming a god. Yet, he’s still young and innocent, unfamiliar with the reality of the world. Thankfully, there’s Yoichi the tanuki, a guardian deity for the forest who takes Yoichi into his care. But Tsugumo’s naivete leads him to see Yoichi’s kindness as love and professes his feelings to the forest guardian. Tsugumo, who has lived for so long protecting the forest, hasn’t felt love in ages. Could this be his chance to follow feelings he thought he’d long since sealed off? For Mature readers. © Hayate Kuku 2018 / FRANCE SHOIN Inc. Available from Seven Seas Entertainment November 2026 (Print/Digital).

New License: Sleeping Dead (Omnibus). Story and art by NEMUI ASADA. In this dark Boys' Love manga, an incident leaves one man caught between dead and alive—and stuck with the man who made him that way. Sada is an earnest high school teacher admired by students and colleagues alike. One night while walking through the city, he stumbles upon a student being violently attacked in an alley. As he tries to call for help, Sada finds himself on the end of the attacker’s blade, bleeding to death on the ground. When he wakes up on a slab in an unknown laboratory, he comes face-to-face with his savior, a scientist named Mamiya. But Sada quickly realizes that in cheating death, he has become something...inhuman. What's more, he's now fully dependent on Mamiya to survive. What awaits him in this new life of death and deadly secrets? © NEMUI ASADA 2021, 2022 / FRANCE SHOIN Inc. Available from Seven Seas Entertainment December 2026 (Print/Digital).

He decides to approach Eito, but how will the superconfident junior react to his easygoing senior when they couldn’t be more different? For Mature readers. Story and Art by Koala Omugi.

I feel like I could hardly put into words just how much I'm enjoying Omega Megaera... I may be biased but it's such an intriguing story and I could not put it down. My review is honestly super overdue but I just had trouble trying to express myself hahahaha

I wrote a review on Omega Megaera Vol 1!

After becoming a fan of Maki-sensei earlier this year, I have been extremely excited for this series release. One thing I've really loved about sensei's works is her character writing. I'm so stoked to see how things unravel

LRT Tokyopop licensing more booklets outside of the Lullaby of the Dawn ones is so cool!!! It seems like these are all Animate ones too.

iirc so far they've been the only print publisher to really print tokuten booklets, which is cool.

I love when mangaka have the opportunity for English-langauge interviews, especially BL ones!!! Renta! also doing fanmail events in addition to interviews is also amazing. It's such a fun experience for English readers to be able to share their thoughts with BL mangaka~
