I've been reading through your release of 12Beast and I cannot understand why you've added unnecessary puns and references. There's a big difference between localization and modifying the source material. Will we be getting an edited volume without them like we did with the ITSY BITSY incident?

Why isn't volume three of 'I am Alice' available for Kindle when the other two are?

A very good question, and we are currently investigating. Thanks for the heads up! --LP

Sorry to add to the pile, but is there any possibility of these titles seeing a US release through you guys? Helck, Golden Kamui, Keyman: Hand of Judgement

No current plans for these, but as the first two are published by Shogakukan and Shueisha, who co-own Viz Media, it'd actually be up to them whether the series are licensed in English or not. -- LP

Does the 7seas staff actually like yuri? Or can it be said to be some kind of neutrality, like eh, idk it's my job. Like, ofc not everyone likes every genre/series, and some just have a weak spot for it

We're a company made up of a number of different people, but the majority of us enjoy yuri very much. We are absolutely a company of fans! It's no coincidence we're the largest publisher of yuri in North America, and we'll continue to share our love of it by bringing lots of great titles to our readers' bookshelves! -- LP

What ever happened to the HayateX(Cross)Blade series? Was it dropped? It's still ongoing in japan and I really missed that series. I was just wondering since I no longer can buy it directly from Barnes&Noble anymore. This question has been on my mind for a while. Thank you!

Hayate x Blade was moved to a different publisher in Japan, Shueisha, who co-owns Viz Media. Unfortunately that meant we couldn't license the series anymore. It would be up to them whether or not the series is continued to be published in North America now. --LP

Can you guys release New Game!, Kill Me Baby!, Yuyushiki Osomatsu-san or Sweetness and Lightning?

No current plans for any of these titles, although Sweetness and Lightning is already being released both digitally and in print by Crunchyroll and Kodansha Comics. --LP

what happened to world war blue?

World War Blue is one of the very rare cases where a series sold too poorly for us to be able to license more volumes. If sales on prior volumes ever picks up, or there's renewed interest in the series (such as a new anime or game), we'd love to return to the title. --LP

Is there any chance that you'll license any of these mangas? Ao haru ride, Namaikizakari, Hirunaka no Ryuusei and Coffee and Vanila. Is there something/anything we(the community)can do to have these published?

The majority of those series are published by Shogakukan and Shueisha, who own Viz Media, so predominantly it would be up to them whether or not these series are licensed for release in North America. --LP

Monster Girl Encyclopedia comes out this (or next) month? is there any news on it soon? It's been so quiet for over year.

It's not typical for us to publish ongoing news about a book's production, so there's nothing to worry about in regards to Monster Girl Encyclopedia and it being 'quiet'. That said, the book is coming out on October 25th and will be well worth the wait! -- LP

I just found out that you've licenced Disappearance of Hatsune Miku, does this mean that licencing a light novels series (as long as they're not too long) have a sticky note on them rather than a straight "can't" like before?

We've never been 100% against light novels, but they require considerably more time and cost to publish, and manga continues to remain the more popular and requested medium. As with any series, we're open to just about anything we have access to, but it needs to be the right fit! --LP
