Seven Seas Entertainment ramped up their Wonderful Wednesdays by announcing 10 new series and adaptations the fans can look forward to!
Not only did they reveal more titles than usual, but calling some of these acquisitions “popular” would be an understatement.
Leading the pack is Painter of the Night by Byeonduck, a sensational historical Boys’ Love VSC available digitally on Lezhin Comics. New chapters used to drop on Fridays, and it’s no exaggeration to say fans nearly crashed the platform every week in anticipation.
Then there’s DEAR. DOOR and Low Tide in Twilight—two equally beloved Boys’ Love VSCs with highly anticipated print editions. Now, fans can finally add these cherished stories to their shelves!
Beyond these major BL licenses, Seven Seas also announced an exciting danmei acquisition, two audiobooks, and even more manga releases. Let’s dive into all the Wonderful Wednesdays details!
