Giant Spider & Me: A Post-Apocalyptic Tale

Join them in their strangely sweet domestic bliss as they spend their days sharing tea and throwing picnics, proving that love (and delicious food) can bring together even the most unlikely of friends.
Lissa Pattillo | Production Manager at Seven Seas Entertainment
Fans of The Ancient Magus’ Bride and The Girl From the Other Side: Siúil, a Rún will especially love this series, since it ran in the same magazine. It’s a really creative take on the slice of life genre, complete with a charming arachnid lead!
Fauna and the Dragonewts’ Seven Kingdoms
Kiyohisa Tanaka
Volume 1: 16 January 2018
In a fantastical future, humans are no longer the dominant species–dragons have evolved to become rulers of the world we once knew.

He decides to adopt her, giving her the name Fauna, and together they explore their magical world of the Seven Kingdoms.
Lianne Sentar | Marketing Manager at Seven Seas Entertainment
This is a great fantasy series, and we love the race of dragon people Kiyohisa Tanaka has dreamed up. The intriguing dynamic of a Dragonewt adopting a human provides the backbone to an exploration of a rich fantasy world.
