Seven Seas resumes its weekly event Wonderful Wednesdays after a month-long break with a variety announcements! From manga to danmei to audiobooks from different genres, there’s a lot to look forward to.
Seven Seas also provided an update with regards to an earlier announcement last year. Previously, the localized title to Koala Omugi’s work was decided as What’s Up With Noumi-Senpai?. However, after fans pointing out the significance of the reference to Plato’s Apology of Socrates, the publisher updated the title to The Apology of Noumi-Senpai.
Without further ado, here’s what Seven Seas has announced in their first Wonderful Wednesdays of 2026!
Yoichi & Tsugumo (Boys’ Love Manga)
“A forest guardian takes in a newly reborn deity-to-be in this touching Boys’ Love tale 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?
Yoichi & Tsugumo will be released in November 2026 for $15.99 USA / $20.99 CAN, with the manga available in large-trim editions as part of the Seven Seas BL Label (Boys’ Love titles). Ebook editions will also be available on digital platforms.

Lady Serena was betrayed by the crown prince, framed for a crime she didn’t commit, and executed by poison. But instead of dying, she wakes up in the past with a second chance—and this time, she’s not playing nice. After all, the so-called “murder” she was accused of was just a little misunderstanding! Looking back, Serena realizes her downfall wasn’t due to poor scheming but a lack of competent underlings.
Determined to rewrite her fate, she recruits a group of desperate orphans and puts them through ruthless training, forging them into the most lethal, fanatically loyal elite force the kingdom has ever seen. Armed with her deadly entourage and sharp wit, Serena is ready to crush anyone who stands in her way. In this thrilling, cutthroat adventure, a morally flexible villainess seizes her second chance—not for redemption, but for revenge.
