New Manga Titles Licensed by Seven Seas

On Wednesday, Seven Seas Entertainment released the license adaptations of several anticipated manga series under the publisher’s roster. Fans can look forward to the upcoming releases of “Gorou Nori’s Imaizumi Brings All the Gals to His House,” “Narise Konahara and Nao Inui’s Beautiful Things“.

Such series as “The Complete Manga Collection,” “Coco Uzuki’s Hoteri Hotette First Kiss,” “Tarona’s That Time I Got Stuck to the Guy I Hate,” and “Hideo Yamamoto’s Hikari-Man.” These are all offering a different sort of story that is entertaining and suitable for all the manga lovers. The following table explains them in the detail of what each title provides.

Imaizumi Brings All the Gals to His House

Title: Imaizumi Brings All the Gals to His House

Creator(s): Gorou Nori

Release Date: Volume 1, Ghost Ship Imprint—due at the end of December 2024.

Thus the play triumph ‘Imaizumi brings all the gals to his house,’ depicts situations that, on the surface, may sound childish and joyous but also speak about serious aspects of relationships and sexual identification.

This story also brings in another character, Matsuoka, who, after a breakup, starts to dress in his ex-girlfriend’s clothes and goes walking around at night. This perverted behavior almost puts him into a dangerous position; Hirosue, his colleague at work, nearly surprises him at the wrong time.

In the movie, Matsuoka has problems to deny himself, and as Matsuoka and Hirosue get closer, Matsuoka gets more tempted to show that he is gay. This manipulative and intense relationship between him and his secret, coupled by the growing friendship with Hirosue, sets up the movie to have themes of identity, self-acceptance, and the dread of being who you are not.

This subplot enriches the overall picture by giving the voicing of deeper tones to what may otherwise be just a simple comedy; this is why “Imaizumi Brings All the Gals to His House” is unexpectedly attractive in its layers.

That Time I Got Stuck to the Guy I Hate: An Unexpected Love Story

Title: That Time I Got Stuck to the Guy I Hate.

Creator(s): Tarona

Release Date: November 2024

“That Time I Got Stuck to the Guy I Hate” by Tarona is a delightful BL story that is a little humorous and will touch your heart at the same time. It revolves around Kuga, a first-year university student who is forced to share his room with Igarashi, his worst enemy.

As for the rest of the series, we have Igarashi, who complains and whines all the time and possesses a negatively innuendo-oriented mindset that causes Kuga to have a nearly unbearable time living with her, but her life changes when a magical spell binds them together, making them agree to work together and gradually gaining a deeper understanding of each other.

Thus, Kuga & Igarashi’s relationship starts evolving as they continue to adjust to their new life. They have to depend on one another to break the spell, hence getting moments of love and compassion despite the apparent hatred. In addition, this manga demonstrates that love can come in all forms and at most unexpected times between two people who are complete polar opposites.

Hikari-Man: A compelling and sinister story

Title: Hikari-Man

Creator(s): Hideo Yamamoto

Availability: It is as yet unavailable online.

‘Hikari-Man’ by Hideo Yamamoto is one of the most unusual manga, as it differs from other manga by its rather gloomy and provoking plot. First published in the “Weekly Big Comic Spirits” magazine from December 8, 2014, to June 22, 2020, “Hikari-Man” has never been published online, so there is an additional spice to this title. This story tells the story of Hikari, a young man with strange powers who was involved in various incidents, which can be dangerous and infiltrating, with the problem of the ethical choice.

Yamamoto has long been most famous for her multi-shaded characters and raw plot approaches, and “Hikari-Man” is not an exception to that rule as well. Anyone who is a follower of the manga, which features mature themes and content, will find himself immediately drawn to this title, as it is a clear example with power and identity statements and all the action that one performer can bring about. Alas, to this date it is not possible to read it online, but manga lovers should get acquainted with the name of “Hikari-Man.”.

Conclusion

There are much more interesting series coming up, and for that reason, manga fans have even more reason to eagerly await the coming months. The latest licenses that are being produced by Seven Seas Entertainment will definitely leave you more than satisfied, no matter whether you fancy watching a cheerful comedy, a passionate romance, or a thriller that will make you sit on the edge of your seat. Let me point out that it is worth waiting for them among the new products to be released this year.
