After a brief break that felt like forever to fans, Seven Seas Entertainment’s Wonderful Wednesdays are back!
From an audiobook adaptation of a fan-favorite novel to deluxe editions of popular manga and danmei (Chinese Boys’ Love novels currently all the rage), this week’s announcements have something for everyone. Here’s a closer look at today’s Wonderful Wednesdays reveals.
A Ninja and an Assassin Under One Roof (Manga)
“A rogue ninja and a messy assassin team up in this deadly comedy slice of life manga filled with gags, domesticity, and, of course, murder—inspired the anime!”
After a series of unfortunate events, young ninja Satoko has found herself sharing a house with the deadly assassin, Konoha. On the run from her village due to a misunderstanding, she’s relying on Konoha’s murderous skills to keep her safe from the ninjas seeking to kill her. But Konoha isn’t the easiest to get along with and is only tolerating Satoko due to her excellent skills at cleaning up messes—both from Konoha’s work and in her home. Somehow, these two will find harmony in their new life together while keeping ninja attackers at bay! So long as they can survive each other, that is.
A Ninja and an Assassin Under One Roof Vol. 1 will be available in print for the first time in English in December 2025 for $13.99 USA / $17.99 CAN. The series will be released as single-volume editions, with ebook versions also coming to digital platforms.
Betrothed to My Sister’s Ex (Light Novel & Manga)
“A woman who’s lived her life in the shadow of her sister is suddenly taking her place after a tragic accident! But her life is about to get way more complicated. A sweet romance about a poor baron’s daughter and an eloquent Earl!”
Marie has spent her life living under her sister’s shadow as the two grew up in an impoverished baron’s home. Every nice thing went to Marie’s sister, leaving her without even a proper dress! And right when her sister was being married off to a wealthy Earl–tragedy strikes and Marie’s sister is killed en route. With the dowry already spent, it’s decided that Marie will take her sister’s place and become the Earl’s betrothed. But, when she gets there, she finds there’s been a serious mix-up—the proposal was a total misunderstanding! Can Marie win the heart of the handsome Earl, or is she destined to live a life without a single nice thing?
Betrothed to My Sister’s Ex (Light Novel) Vol. 1 hits shelves in January 2026 for $15.99 USA / $20.99 CAN. It will also be available digitally.
Betrothed to My Sister’s Ex (Manga) Vol. 1 also launches in January 2026, priced at $13.99 USA / $17.99 CAN. Like the light novel, ebook editions will be offered on major digital platforms.
My Twisted Eating Disorder (Manga)
“Originally released as a digital-only exclusive under the title My Wandering Warrior Eating Disorder, the autobiographical manga from the Harvey Award-winning creator of My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness is finally available in print!”
This diary comic details the complexities of Nagata Kabi’s fraught relationship with food, from eating disorders and habits to food preparation, with unflinching and detailed honesty. This short manga (originally 50 pages long) was written after My Wandering Warrior Existence and was only released on digital platforms in Japan. Seven Seas initially published the manga in English as an ebook exclusive before the release of the book written after it–My Pancreas Broke, But My Life Got Better–in order to preserve the chronological timeline of new entries in Nagata Kabi’s powerful autobiographical series. Now, the anticipated release of the printed edition is here!
My Twisted Eating Disorder will see its first English-language print edition in October 2025 as a large-trim paperback for $15.99 USA / $20.99 CAN. An ebook version will also be available.
Monster Musume The Novel – Monster Girls on the Job! (Audiobook)
“A spin-off novel for the bestselling Monster Musume series!”
Ordinary twenty-something Kurusu Kimihito thought living with a bunch of monster girls was complicated enough, but there’s a new directive sent down from the government: get a job! Now lamia Miia, centaur Centoria, and all your favorites have to join the working world, leading to sexy uniforms, on-the-job shenanigans, and all-new hilarity! Written by the author of the Monster Girl Doctor light novels, Yoshino Origuchi, and with all-new illustrations by series creator OKAYADO, this book features everyone’s favorite monster girls in a new light novel adventure!
Monster Musume The Novel – Monster Girls on the Job! (Audiobook) will release in English on May 8, 2025. Pre-orders are available now at sevenseasaudiobooks.com.
Monster Musume (Manga)
“The New York Times bestselling manga returns in a brand-new, hardcover omnibus release—with never-before-seen extras! Monsters are real, and they’re ready to integrate with one man as his home becomes a house for sexy monster girls.”
Kurusu Kimihito’s home has become the newest hotspot for the sexiest monster girls around! Now that the government has created the Interspecies Cultural Exchange Accord, a program that helps fantastical beings integrate into society, Kimihito has found himself an involuntary “volunteer” in the homestay program for monster girls. Before he can even begin to understand what this means, a sexy lamia with a serpentine tail that goes for days named Miia moves in. This cold-blooded beauty may be feeling hot for Kimihito, but he must ignore his raging hormones and resist the seductive serpent—or risk breaking a very serious law! But when a scantily clad harpy and a buxom centaur girl also make themselves at home, he may find his willpower weakening.
Can a young man in his prime resist the temptations surrounding him, or is he about to live the ultimate fantasy with his very own monster girl harem?
Seven Seas will also publish the entire Monster Musume manga series in oversized hardcover omnibuses with exclusive covers. The first omnibus, which collects Volumes 1–3, launches in October 2025 for $42.99 USA / $57.99 CAN.
Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Mo Dao Zu Shi (Danmei)
“The New York Times bestselling novels that inspired the manhua/comic (also available from Seven Seas), animation, and the live-action series The Untamed will now be available to enjoy as beautiful collectors’ hardcovers!”
Wei Wuxian was once one of the most outstanding men of his generation, a talented and clever young cultivator who harnessed martial arts, knowledge, and spirituality into powerful abilities. But when the horrors of war led him to seek a new power through demonic cultivation, the world’s respect for his skills turned to fear, and his eventual death was celebrated throughout the land.
Years later, he awakens in the body of an aggrieved young man who sacrifices his soul so that Wei Wuxian can exact revenge on his behalf. Though granted a second life, Wei Wuxian is not free from his first, nor the mysteries that appear before him now. Yet this time, he’ll face it all with the righteous and esteemed Lan Wangji at his side, another powerful cultivator whose unwavering dedication and shared memories of their past will help shine a light on the dark truths that surround them.
Each deluxe hardcover rerelease of Seven Seas’ bestselling English-language paperbacks will feature premium embellishments: a dust jacket with all-new art and foil lettering, a new foil illustration on linen-textured hardcover, elaborate printed edges, and a ribbon bookmark.
Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Mo Dao Zu Shi (Deluxe Hardcover Novel) Vol. 1 will debut in October 2024 for $29.99 USA / $39.99 CAN as a large-trim hardcover. The remaining volumes in the five-volume series will follow.
Seven Seas’ danmei hardcover editions include brand-new illustrations, and the publisher promises even more to come—fans should stay tuned!
Finally, the Harvey Award-winning creator of My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness, Nagata Kabi, will see My Twisted Eating Disorder in print at last! Previously released digitally as My Wandering Warrior Eating Disorder, Seven Seas will publish a chronologically preserved edition in print for the first time.
