Continuing their massive announcement dump into the weekend, US-based publisher of manga and light novels Seven Seas has in recent days announced an additional cornucopia of works they will be localising and publishing in the latter half of 2021. These range from brand new licenses to continuations of series already published by the company.
More information about each can be read below:

When Kanako accidentally applies to work at an assassination agency, the timid office worker discovers that she has a knack for bumping people off. Will she ever earn the respect of Sakurai, her prickly and kinda hot co-worker–and why is she still having silly workplace problems when she’s employed with hitmen?! This full-color manga is dangerously funny!
2Loner Life in Another World
Type: Light Novel (Published under Airship Imprint)
By: Shoji Goji and booota
Release Date (Volume 1): August 2021
Price: $13.99 USD
When acerbic loner Haruka gets transported to another world with his class, he’s not big on adventuring, but he wouldn’t mind some cool magic of his own. Unfortunately, the magic powers are first-come-first-served, and by Haruka’s turn, there’s nothing good left to choose from. Now he’ll have to take on this fantasy world the hard way, with a hodgepodge selection of bizarre skills…and with all the girls in class tagging along!
3Sora and Hara
Type: Manga (Continuing the Boys Love Manga Series, Classmates)
By: Asumiko Nakamura
Release Date (Volume 1): November 2021
Price: $14.99 USD
In Sora and Hara, learn more about the teacher Hara Manabu, a gay man who feels somewhat adrift in the world. He spends his days teaching at an all-boys school, his nights out on the town. While at a gay bar, he meets a young man named Sorano and makes an instant connection. But things become complicated when he sees Sorano again–as a new student at school! Hara immediately shuts down the possibility of a relationship, although the situation is unearthing issues from Hara’s youth, when he himself had complicated sexual feelings in his teens…and the current emotional baggage that still lingers with his now-graduated student, Rihito. In this darkly comedic drama about love and aging, a seen-it-all teacher has more learning of his own to do.
4O.B.

Meanwhile, many of their friends, including their former teacher Hara, are dealing with their own relationship drama. This collection of manga stories from the modern BL classic, Classmates, was originally released in two volumes in Japan, but will be published together in English as a single omnibus.
5Desire Pandora
Type: Manga (Published under Ghost Ship Imprint)
By: Akira Hizuki
Release Date (Volume 1): August 2021
Price: $13.99 USD
Takai Tsukasa might humbly call himself an armpit connoisseur–he really knows his stuff (the stuff being the beauty of women’s shapely armpits). But for all of his meticulous study, will he ever find pitch perfect pits? A careless wish on a magic ring gives him a chance to find out by summoning the most gorgeous woman alive–but said woman just so happens to be a demoness! In a classic case of “be careful what you wish for,” things are about to get sweaty and perhaps a little too hot for Takai to handle.
6The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today
Type: Manga
By: Hitsuzi Yamada
Release Date (Volume 1): September 2021
Price: $13.99 USD
When Saku took in a stray black cat, she never expected that he would become the equivalent of a housekeeping life partner. But Yukichi, a giant cat who towers over Saku, is not your ordinary feline. He takes great pride in his culinary skills, and a good sale at the supermarket always gets his whiskers twitching. Saku may not have her act together yet, but at least she has Yukichi!
