Seven Seas Entertainment is excited to announce the license acquisition of the Boys’ Love series Hate Me, but Let Me Stay by Hijiki, a Mature-rated omegaverse manga where love blossoms even in the darkest of times.

Ever since the assault that led to his unexpected pregnancy as a teen, Koga Naoto, an omega, has harbored a deep fear and distrust toward alphas. He’s even convinced himself that he doesn’t need a mate. After all, hasn’t he raised his daughter, Shizuku, just fine on his own?

Still, at the behest of his concerned mother, Naoto reluctantly attends a matchmaking party. There he meets Tsuchiya Hazuki, a teenage alpha who declares that Naoto is his destined mate. Naoto does his best to ignore the young man’s advances, but he can’t deny the way he feels in Hazuki’s presence. Can Naoto overcome his fear and admit that maybe, just maybe, he might not hate this one alpha?

Hate Me, but Let Me Stay Vol. 1 will be released for the first time in the English language in August 2024 for $14.99 USA / $18.99 CAN, with the series available in single editions as part of the Seven Seas BL label (Boys’ Love titles). Ebook editions will also be available on digital platforms.
