Seven Seas Launches New Boys’ Love and Girls’ Love Labels with Six Licenses

(LOS ANGELES, May 18, 2022) – Seven Seas Entertainment is excited to announce two all-new labels: Seven Seas BL and Seven Seas GL. After years of publishing bestselling content in both the BL/Boys’ Love genre (about men loving men) and the GL/Girls’ Love/yuri genre (about women loving women), Seven Seas offers these two new labels to help readers easily discover the content they crave in an ever-expanding manga marketplace.

Books in the Seven Seas BL and GL labels will include manga, light novels, and beyond, rated anywhere from Teen through Mature. The labels will launch with six new licenses: The Titan’s Bride (BL), Entangled with You: The Garden of 100 Grasses (BL), I’m Kinda Chubby and I’m Your Hero (BL), Asumi-chan is Interested in Lesbian Brothels! (GL), and the light novels and manga for There’s No Freaking Way I’ll be Your Lover! Unless… (GL).

The Titan’s Bride by ITKZ
In this Mature-rated Boys’ Love fantasy isekai that inspired an anime, there’s nothing small about the love between a human and a titan prince! Mizuki Kouichi is about to take his final exams and graduate from high school when he suddenly finds himself transported to a fantasy world–specifically, to a kingdom of titans! The country’s beautiful denizens are almost twice the size of Kouichi, who was a tall basketball star back home. To his surprise, one of the giants, Prince Caius, claims Kouichi as his bride! Due to a dire prophecy, the prince’s upcoming nuptials cannot be with anyone of his world, so he’s happy to take Kouichi as his “wife.” What starts as big trouble for Kouichi turns into a grand romantic adventure when he finds out that Caius truly has a lot of love to give. Seven Seas’ special print release of this Mature-rated favorite will feature the completely uncensored original art not available in other editions.

There’s only one catch: none of the girls on the brothel’s website use their real names. Goaded along by a more experienced friend, Asumi begins a journey of exploring her sexuality, trying new fetishes, and getting comfortable in her own skin as she sleeps with the brothel’s women one at a time in her search for Mai.
