Information status: CONFIRMED — both licenses below — Into the Sea and Will You Take a Bath With Me? — were announced by Seven Seas Entertainment itself on October 28, 2026, on its official website. They are different titles from the manga Nighthawk, Once Again, also announced by the publisher the same day.
Seven Seas Entertainment has announced two new English-language licenses: the baihe novel Into the Sea by Yue Ben Du and the Boys’ Love manga Will You Take a Bath With Me? by Maki Marukido. Both volumes arrive in 2027, in print and digital editions.
Into the Sea: a mermaid, a cultivator and sealed powers
Into the Sea is described by the publisher as a baihe — Chinese Girls’ Love — romance between a mermaid and a cultivator. The mermaid princess Lan Wu flees an arranged marriage, nearly loses her life and, to hide her aura, swallows a mysterious pill that completely seals her demonic powers. Weak and powerless, she is saved by Ji Lingyue, an aspiring cultivator, and decides to follow her to Haochen Mountain, where both will become cultivation disciples.
Into the Sea (Novel) Vol. 1 will be published in English for the first time in November 2027, for $20.99 USA / $27.99 CAN, in a large-trim paperback edition under the Seven Seas Baihe label. An ebook edition will also be available on digital platforms.
Will You Take a Bath With Me?: housework and one peculiar habit
Will You Take a Bath With Me? is a Boys’ Love manga in which Kazuya lets his junior colleague Mika stay at his home in exchange for taking care of the housework. The arrangement gets complicated when Mika discovers one peculiar trait of his host: he hates taking baths. The work is by the author of Pornographer and Even If You Close Your Eyes, You Can See the Light, according to the publisher.
The manga will be released in October 2027 for $15.99 USA / $20.99 CAN, in a single large-trim volume under the Seven Seas BL Label. An ebook edition will also be available on digital platforms.
For readers following the publisher’s romance labels, the pair of announcements reinforces a bet on romantic stories with fantasy and everyday premises — one about cultivation and magic, the other about sharing a home — both scheduled for the second half of 2027.
