Seven Seas has revealed a fresh wave of upcoming English-language releases, and there's something for everyone—whether you’re into awkward romance, portal fantasy, time-travel drama, or beautifully packaged danmei novels.
Aharen-san Is Indecipherable
Release Date: February 2026
Get ready for an adorably awkward high school rom-com! Reina Aharen is a soft-spoken girl with zero concept of personal space—she’s either whisper-close or miles away. When a classmate named Raido helps her retrieve a fallen eraser, it sparks an unusual friendship that turns into a daily dose of offbeat, heartwarming chaos. Their sweet and unpredictable connection might even blossom into something more.
When a Clueless First-Person Shooter Player Falls into Another World
Release Dates: January 2026 (Light Novel) | March 2026 (Manga)
Schwarz is a VRMMOFPS ace until one glitch sends him falling through the map—and into another world. Armed with a full arsenal of digital weapons but none of the rulebooks, he’ll have to adapt fast if he hopes to survive in this fantasy realm where everything is terrifyingly real. Think Call of Duty meets Re:Zero.
I Wish I Could Meet You Again on the Hill Where That Flower Blooms
Release Date: March 2026
