Seven Seas Announces Three New Manga Acquisitions Including Sakurai-san Wants to Be Noticed and Steam Reverie in Amber

Seven Seas Entertainment announced three new manga acquisitions for western release. The publisher plans to release these in July 2022, but the release window may change. Regardless, on to the announcements.

Sakurai-san Wants to Be Noticed

By Sora Akino

Makoto is a laidback teen who just wants to keep his head down and get through high school. His busty best friend Sakurai, however, is constantly pulling him into one shenanigan after another! Not only that, but she’s always teasing him in provocative ways. Sure, Makoto’s noticed that his friend has gotten super flirty, but that doesn’t mean she “likes” him, right? Right?

Seven Seas will publish the manga series Sakurai-san Wants to Be Noticed for the first time in North America in print and on digital platforms in single-volume editions. Volume 1 will be released in July 2022 for $13.99.

I Will Forget This Feeling Someday

By Yoru Sumino

Kaya lives an ordinary, boring life. Yet when a burst of dazzling light appears at a bus stop, showing a vision of a girl from another world, everything changes. Through meetings in the dead of night, Kaya and the mysterious girl strive to figure out the points of connection between their dimensions–and maybe, in the process, fall in love. This moving tale is the newest novel by the Eisner-nominated author of I Want to Eat Your Pancreas and I Had That Same Dream Again.

Seven Seas will publish I Will Forget This Feeling Someday (Light Novel) for the first time in North America in print and (early) on digital platforms in a single large-trim edition. The book will be released in print in June 2022 for $14.99.

Steam Reverie in Amber

By Kuroimori

A world between the past and the future. An airship that can only be seen by people whose hearts are hurting. A bookstore that soars between the clouds. Immerse yourself in a gorgeously illustrated art and story collection set in a magical world that includes steampunk zodiac girls, steampunk tarot card illustrations, and more!

Seven Seas will publish the full-color book Steam Reverie in Amber for the first time in North America in print and on digital platforms in a single, large-trim hardcover edition. The book will be released in July 2022 for $24.99.
