Seven Seas Licenses NOW THAT WE DRAW Manga Series
Seven Seas Entertainment is pleased to announce the license acquisition of the manga series Now That We Draw by Kyu Takahata and Yuwji Kaba. Opposites attract in this hysterical rom-com about two high school manga artists who can’t catch a break!
Dweeby high schooler Uehara Yuuki has created the perfect romantic comedy heroine—she’s bashful, airheaded, and completely chaste. When an editor at Uehara’s dream publisher coldly dismisses his manga story as trite and lacking realism, it sends Uehara into a spiral of despair that pushes him into the path of his bubbly, gorgeous classmate, Miyamoto Niina—an aspiring manga artist herself! Having gotten similar feedback on her own manga, Miyamoto proposes she and Uehara engage in a fake relationship, since neither of them have any romantic experience. But Miyamoto is far from the perfect heroine Uehara’s concocted, and he certainly isn’t the cocky hero from her story either. Can their wacky relationship turn their manga dreams into reality, or will it lead to even more comic disasters?
Now That We Draw Vol. 1 will be released for the first time in the English language in February 2025 for $14.99 USA / $18.99 CAN, with the series available in large-trim paperback editions. Ebook editions will also be available on digital platforms.
