Seven Seas Entertainment has announced that they have licensed the light novel series World’s Fastest Level Up! and four other manga titles that will be released for the first time in North America. All titles will be released on both print and digital formats later this year and into early 2023. 

Through their Airship light novel imprint, Seven Seas will release the light novel series World’s Fastest Level Up! written by Nagato Yamata and illustrated by fame. The light novel was first published on March 31, 2021. The first volume of this modern fantasy adventure will be released on both digital and print platforms in November 2022. The series will be published in single large-trim editions. 

The light novel is described as:

It has been twenty years since dungeons began appearing all across the world, an incident that coincided with humanity receiving supernatural abilities–all of which transformed everyday life into a living RPG. Amane Rin is one of countless people plundering dungeons with the dream of getting rich quick with his unique skill. Rin is far from capable, though, and is quickly written off as a weak adventurer. However, one day, his skill evolves, taking a new form that allows Rin to break the dungeon system and level up at warp speed! Will this new power make him the strongest adventurer in the world?

The heartwarming slice-of-life manga series My Sister, The Cat by senko will also be released for the first time in North America. In this series, a young man is adopted into a family of anthropomorphic cats and now has a new feline little sister. The first volume will be released in January 2023 on both print and digital formats and published as single volume editions. 

My Sister, The Cat is described as:

After losing his mother at a young age, Nekota is taken in by family friends…who happen to be a couple of human-sized walking, talking cats. Not only do his new parents have paws, tails, and furry pointed ears, but now he also has an adorable little sister, Neneko-chan! As a high schooler, he’s integrated well into their household, and his precocious adoptive sister has fully accepted him as her big brother. Whether she’s showing him things she brought home from elementary school, purrsistently asking him to play with her mouse toy, or waking him up at the same early hour every morning for breakfast, life with this charming feline family is never dull!

Another new license set for release is the dark comedy manga series No Longer Human… In Another World from the creators of Love After World Domination. The manga is written by Hiroshi Noda and illustrated by Takahiro Wakamatsu and was first published in Yawaraka Spirits magazine in October 2, 2019. The first volume will be released on both print and digital formats in October 2022 and published as single volume editions. 

The manga’s story is described as: 

An adventure in another world with cute girls by your side and video game-like powers–sounds like an anime fan’s dream, right? Not so for melancholic author Osamu Dazai, who would quite literally prefer to drop dead. Video games haven’t even been invented yet when he gets yanked into another world in 1948. Really, all the fantastical adventure he keeps running into is just getting in the way of his poetic dream of finding the perfect place to die. But no matter how much he risks his hide, everything seems to keep turning out okay. Follow a miserable hero like no other in this cheerfully bleak isekai comedy!

Masanari Yuduka’s The Knight Blooms Behind Castle Walls manga series has also been licensed by Seven Seas. The wonderfully illustrated slice-of-life fantasy follows a young girl who wants to be a valiant knight. The manga was serialized from March 20, 2020 to November 25, 2021 in Comic Gardo magazine. Three tankoubon volumes have been published, compiling 35 chapters in total.  

The first volume will be released in January 2023 on both print and digital formats as single volume editions. 

Seven Seas Entertainment describes The Knight Blooms Behind Castle Walls as:

Rosa dreams of taking up arms and protecting the people as a courageous knight! But in order to achieve this, she must first become a squire, and those duties around the castle are much less glorious. One moment she’s caring for horses in the stable, the next she’s chopping a huge pile of firewood or battling a mountain of laundry–and, of course, she must also be ever-ready to assist the knight she serves! Though her tasks in this role may seem mundane, all are important steps on her journey to becoming a knight worthy of legend. Rosa will face every challenge with the heart of a hero!

Seven Seas will also release the manga series Utakata’s Gap Papa: Daddy at Work and at Home. This charming, full-color story was first published as a webcomic by the creator on their Twitter page. Kodansha has formally published the series since February 25, 2021. 

The first volume of the series will be released on both print and digital platforms sometime in February 2023. Gap Papa: Daddy at Work and at Home will also be published in full color single large-trim editions in bookstores. 

The manga is described as: 

His colleagues at work see him as handsome, cool, and distant…but the moment he’s back home, this frosty-looking salaryman shows his true colors as a doting father and husband. Playing silly games with his young daughter, showering kisses on his beloved wife–what a gap between his appearance and behavior! This sweet, full-color manga about a wholesome family is sure to warm your heart.
