Seven Seas Licenses Six New Manga and Light Novels for 2027
The batch mixes established franchise extensions, a webcomic breakout, and two new light novels, showing Seven Seas continuing to pull from multiple formats rather than concentrating on a single lane.

Seven Seas Entertainment announced six new licenses on Wednesday. The slate includes four manga and two light novels, all scheduled for release between January and April 2027. The manga titles are Pendulum: The Beastmen Omegaverse Saga by Hana Hasumi, Good Night, My Little Bird by RICO SAKURA, The Cat Who Didn't Believe in 'What-ifs' by Oki Eiko, and The Tomorrow I Want to See with Kako: A Time-Loop Romantic Comedy by KNOTS. The light novels are Goetia Shock by Dokuzu Kento with art by Nekosuke Ookuma, and Wandmaker of the Ruined World by Hagane Kurodome with art by Kayahara. Pendulum and Good Night, My Little Bird will appear under the publisher's mature-rated BL label. Pendulum is a companion story to Remnant: The Beastmen Omegaverse Saga, already available from Seven Seas. The Cat Who Didn't Believe in 'What-ifs' began as a popular webcomic and will receive its first English print edition. Goetia Shock will be a digital-only release on the Airship imprint. The Tomorrow I Want to See with Kako carries a release date of January 2027 in the press release and March 2027 on social media. Pricing for the print volumes ranges from $15.99 to $16.99 in the United States.
The Fandom Post reports that Pendulum: The Beastmen Omegaverse Saga originally debuted in Japan in 2016 as a single-volume run, carrying the Japanese title Pendulum: Kemonohito Omegaverse. The same outlet notes that the two light novels in Goetia Shock first arrived in Japan in June 2024, and a manga adaptation launched in 2025 with one volume released so far. Seven Seas will publish the first volume of Goetia Shock, subtitled Cyberdetective Alicia Arkwright and the Ink-Painted Nightmare: Part 1, in English in February 2027.
Seven Seas Entertainment describes The Cat Who Didn't Believe in "What-ifs" as "the wildly popular webcomic series that brought cat lovers to tears." The print edition will be an oversized format, priced at $15.99 in the United States and $20.99 in Canada. Good Night, My Little Bird and Pendulum will both appear in single large-trim editions under the BL label, with Good Night, My Little Bird priced at $15.99 and Pendulum at $16.99 in the U.S. market. Canadian pricing for the two BL titles is $20.99 and $21.99, respectively. All six titles will also receive ebook editions on digital platforms.
Seven Seas' own announcement for Good Night, My Little Bird frames the story as one that "will leave your heart fluttering," centering on a human servant named Shu who works at the estate of Rai, a reclusive young man born with feathered wings. The pair's dynamic shifts when Rai discovers an abandoned egg and insists on raising the hatchling with Shu's help. The publisher's summary for Pendulum calls it a companion story to Remnant: The Beastmen Omegaverse Saga, which Seven Seas already distributes.
