Seven Seas Launches New 'Sexy Romance for Women' Manga Imprint

If your particular brand of manga happens to be in the "sexy romance" category, Seven Seas Entertainment has some books on the way just for you. The publisher announced plans to launch a new imprint called Steamship, which is "dedicated to sexy romance for women" and covers manga in shojo, josei, teens' love, and other genres.

 

Four new license announcements came along with the news, including GAME: Between the Suits, I'll Never Be Your Crown Princess!, Ladies on Top, and Outbride: Beauty and the Beasts

 

As Seven Seas Sales & Marketing Manager Lianne Sentar explains, "Romance novel fans in the West have a broad selection of options, so we’re bringing that same philosophy to the manga section: if ladies want it hot, look for the Steamship logo.”

 

Here's a closer look at the first four titles:

Fujii Sayo has worked hard to climb the ranks at her firm, and she won’t let anything stand in her way–even if it costs her lover after lover. Enter her new colleague: Kiriyama Ryouichi. He’s obedient enough in the boardroom, but in private, he’s challenging and flirtatious–he wants her and he isn’t afraid to show it. After falling into bed with him once and insisting it won’t happen again, Ryouichi has an assertion of his own: she’ll give in. The two agree to an affair that will only last until Sayo finds someone more suitable to her station and temperament, but Ryouichi is confident he’ll win against any other man. Thus begins a sizzling game of push and pull that will set their office alight!
