Why it matters
Seven Seas is dating two of these licenses years out, November 2027 and April 2028, which puts the manga and manhwa announcements well ahead of the audio slate shipping in the next six weeks.
Key Facts

- Abi's Led by Stars manga is scheduled for November 2027 as a volume 1 release on the Ghost Ship imprint.

Three audiobooks arrive sooner on the Siren imprint. The 7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy! Short Story Collection, by Touko Amekawa and Wan Hachipisu with narration by Sarah Gage, is dated November 19. The Dangers in My Heart - The Novel audiobook, narrated by Clint Bickham and Katelyn Barr, follows on November 26. Beacon of Light in the Dark Sea, by Softcoral with narration by James Aaron Oh, closes the run on December 17.
The two prose releases borrowed from existing manga franchises sit alongside a new title in the same announcement. The Dangers in My Heart - The Novel comes from Kota Nozomi, Norio Sakurai and sune, and its stories move away from the series' usual narrator: the audiobook follows side characters such as Moeko, Kanzaki and Yamada's mother, plus a story set over summer break. The 7th Time Loop collection gathers short pieces around Arnold and Rishe, including a longest entry written for the book in which the pair go undercover as a married couple.
Beacon of Light in the Dark Sea is credited to Softcoral and is listed as volume 1 on the Siren imprint. Its setting is the North Pacific International Undersea Station, where a dentist named Muhyeon takes a post and finds the crew behaving unpredictably. Pre-orders for the 7th Time Loop audiobook are open at sevenseasaudiobooks.com. The manga and manhwa titles carry the longest lead times of the group.
