Seven Seas Entertainment has announced three new manga series acquisitions on September 14, 2022. The new titles are Konomi Wagata’s My New Life as a Cat, Wakana Yanai’s Cinderella Ghost, and Shiro Moriya’s Soloist in a Cage. 

Here are the full details about Seven Seas’ new licenses: 

The first new acquisition is My New Life as a Cat by Konomi Wagata about a boy stuck in a cat’s body. The hilarious romantic comedy manga was first serialized in Shogakukan’s shoujo manga magazine Ciao on October 3, 2015, under the Ciao Comics imprint. 

The first volume will be released in North America sometime in April 2023. The series will be available in print and digital format as single volume editions. 

Seven Seas describes the manga’s story as: 

Nao Kazushiro is a normal high school student—until he gets in a traffic accident and winds up in the body of a cat! At first, it’s all fun and games as he gets used to his new form, but then the novelty wears off and the hunger sets in. Luckily, he’s picked up by Chika, a girl his age, who gives him food and a home off the streets. She’s paw-fully sweet and pretty, but meanwhile he’s still in a furry feline body! Will Nao (now Nyao) ever get his human form back, or will fur end up flying instead of sparks?

Wakana Yanai’s Cinderella Closet manga series will also be released for the first time in North America. The series follows a plain country girl who falls in love with a handsome coworker, featuring elements of the classic Cinderella fairy tale. 

It was serialized in Shueisha’s Bessatsu Margaret magazine from June 13, 2019 to January 13, 2022. Eight volumes consisting of 32 chapters have been released in total. 

The first volume will be released sometime in April 2023 in both print and digital format as single volume editions. 

The story is described as: 

Haruka is a “plain jane” who left the countryside to start her college life in Tokyo. She’s secretly in love with Kurotaki, a coworker at her part-time job, but she lacks the self-confidence to confess her feelings to him. Then she meets Hikaru, a glamorous but sharp-tongued fashionista who begrudgingly agrees to play “fairy godmother” for Haruka and help her learn to love and value herself in the process. However, there’s more to Hikaru than meets the eye!

The last new manga acquisition is Shiro Moriya’s Soloist in a Cage, which is described as a dystopian action thriller with gorgeously illustrated artwork. The series was serialized in Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ online magazine from September 2018 to June 2021. Three tankoubon volumes have been released in total.  

The first volume will be released in North America sometime in May 2023. It will be available as single large-trim physical volumes and as an eBook on digital platforms. 

The manga is described as: 

Chloe and her baby brother Locke were born in a prison the size of a city: a walled-off collection of ramshackle buildings full of dangerous criminals who live bleak and isolated lives. Their parents are gone, leaving Chloe to care for her brother. When a trio of soldiers manage to break out of the prison, Chloe goes with them but loses Locke during the escape. After years of training, Chloe returns to the prison city with one goal: to find her now 11-year-old brother and get him out of that hellhole, no matter what it takes.
