Holy based Seven Seas
Had a look on twitter and the yurifags are kicking up a fuss over getting nothing again.
>>268677852How is yuri relevant here
Eww.Fuck cuckshit
>>268677659For fuck sakesIs this really Ooi Masakazu's first translated work? This garbage?Where is my english release of Okusan.
>>268677659I can take or leave the first one, but the sequel is pretty hilarious (and hot)
>>268677852When are yuritrannies ever not having a melty?
>>268679893Obviously. It's a bog-standard psyop; promote things that are guaranteed to make people unhappy, unfulfilled, and divided and sell them a solution in the form of whatever product/legislation/war/etc. will line their pockets and advance their interests.NTRfaggotry isn't the first to infect anime/manga, nor will it be the last.
>>268680708what's the sequel about?
>>268679893>>268681688I don't know, I think it's just a fetish.
>>268682511>Dude gets truck'd after his wife cheats on him>The goddess tells him he's going to be a hero and asks him what kind of cheat skill he wants>He says "a skill to make (my) wife love me".>In practice, it's a skill that automatically makes lonely housewives horny for him>He goes on a dragon quest adventure and accrues a harem party of wives whose husbands have been stolen by the demon lord
>>268677659>sexless marriagehe did nothing wrong. also look at those titties. picked up
Who asked for this? Where does Seven Seas even find the money for all these seemingly random manga?
>>268679893infidelity happens all the fucking time. touch grass
>>268677659>Seven SeasEnjoy your trannylations that going to take 2 years to release a single volume
NTR
>>268677659omg, those mammary glands
>theres actually someone here who says "touch grass" unironically
>>268679893To be honest, it feels unnatural to me as well.
Why the fuck is this getting an eng release but not Okusan by the same author?
>>268678889They've been having a meltdown because of the lack of Yuri licenses this year. Then no publisher announced any Yuri at AX. Seven Seas announced mostly BL at this licensing event and the yurifags are attacking them hard.
>>268683396>Where does Seven Seas even find the money for all these seemingly random manga?They struck the danmei goldmine. Danmei is selling like crazy and funding a bunch of other licenses. They announced 3 Danmei along with >>268677659
>>268686740>Danmei???????
>>268687180Chinese BL.The first 3 Seven Seas licensed had the biggest debut in Seven Seas history. https://sevenseasentertainment.com/2021/12/23/mo-xiang-tong-xiu-mxtx-becomes-triple-new-york-times-best-selling-author-in-one-week-with-seven-seas-debut-of-danmei-novels/They keep licensing them and each one sells astronomically well. It's generally believed that some of Seven Seas weird/old licenses over the past 2 years are because they can afford to take risks now due to danmei money.
>>268687632>Chinese BL.
>>268687697They may be repeating it soon with Thai BL. Kinnporsche is coming in September.
>>268687799>Thai BL
>>268686740>Danmei is selling like crazy Well yeah, the fish fucker one is actually funny, and BL isn't my thing at all. The premise of that shit was ridiculous so I gave it a look. Binge read the first volume in a day, I'd be up for more like it.
>>268687632how is china not having any problem with one of their biggest cultural output in recent history being gay books (well beside gacha games)
>Japanese BL selling better than yuri>Chinese BL selling better than yuri>Korean BL selling better than yuri>Soon, Thai BL will also sell better than yuriYuribros....
>>268688133Censored editions published in China that degay the story. Uncensored editions published in Taiwan and international with lots of gay.Some of the authors who pushed things too far have been jailed.
>>268688133$$$$$$$$$
>>268688148A Seven Seas anon yesterday leaked that yuri was selling like shit and BL was selling like 5 times as much. They're vocal on twitter like >>268686478 said. But then apparently they don't buy books. They're pretty much just virtue signalling when they should be spending money.
>>268679893Yeah it feels forced as shit.
>>268687834Cute asian boys fucking each other senseless with some form of plot and no Chinese censorship.Helps that they've got live action dramas and the networks are trying to push them at the kdrama audience.
>>268688549anoni dont want to know more
>>268688549Can a girl explain to me what the appeal is of men sodomizing each other's assholesBecause my understanding is the bulk of this gay shits fandom is femaleAt least with male Yuri random types it doesn't involve sticking members into poopholes
>>268688593But anon we haven't even gotten into the Chinese boys having canon dick sizes because the authors are horny freaks.Or the Thai author who wrote a BL novel just so they could get their favorite actor in the lead role for the show so they could molest them.
>>268688681
>>268677659The artist of this draws some top tier womanShame he appears to never do anything good with it.
>>268688384Who's usually the demographic for yuri? Libcel and trannies?
>>268690530Lesbians. And they don't really have money to spend so all they can do is cry on twitter that SS isn't licensing something that they won't be able to afford
>>268690530>>2686911731 horny man reads more yuri than any lesbian community
>>268677659>Holy based Seven Seasmeh, give me something like pic related or more old classics
>>268683942Murder happens all the fucking time too. Doesn't mean it's right
>thread isn't even about a yuri series>people are talking about yurifagsMan, you guys sure are weirdly fixated on us.
>>268677659Was the ending not the time travel part, the cucked part a retcon to justify his affair?
>>268693791They are laughing at you. It's funny.
>>268695521If you have to go to twitter to get your laughs, that just shows how desperate you are.
>>268695619I'm talking about these threads not that shithole, retard.
>>268678889Because he's obsessed.
>>268683396Most non popular manga have licenses that cost a couple thousands at best. You could buy one, in fact.
>>268683396Meanwhile I've been requesting Needless on their surveys for years now and haven't gotten squat.
>>268693791It's the anti-yuri schizo samefagging. As it always is.
>>268688384Kicking myself for not asking the Seven Seas Anon if those licensing surveys actually matter or not. Were that many people really requesting isekai NTR?
>>268695984The whole conversation started because someone brought up irrelevant drama from twitter.
>>268696125Supposedly they popped up here >>268691887
>>268692326>more old classicsTHISGive me more Ishinomori and Monkey Punch or whatever, maybe even pic related (I have all six volumes of the old flipped translation)
>>268696627Ishikawa and Nagai too. Hell, even some classic 80s stuff would be nice. God knows Guyver needs a new print run over here.
>>268690197Some men are simply inclined to evil.
>>268696608You raaang.>>268696125>Kicking myself for not asking the Seven Seas Anon if those licensing surveys actually matter or not.Yeah the surveys matter. But the people who group up to suggest stuff are more likely to get some action. The Case Files of Jeweler Richard was in the top 10 for both manga and light novels before we announced it. We use a lot more demographic and genre information to assist with making choices too. If we can't get something or can't make something work, then we'll look for something similar or something shorter to test the waters.>Were that many people really requesting isekai NTR?Not this one. But, there's another NTR series that people are submitting pretty often. It's more expensive so this is a test for it.>>268696627>>268697073Classics prior to the 1990's don't really sell well unfortunately.>IshinomoriWe looked at Cyborg 009. It's very expensive. Kamen Rider Black has licensing issues, we looked at it as a follow up to the OG Rider series.>Monkey PunchThe second Lupin III Classic Collection sold badly and killed any interest in doing more Monkey Punch works. Sorry.>Go NagaiBlame Cutie Honey. She sold extremely bad. Like, EXTREMELY bad. Mazinger Z and Mao Dante were planned for the second wave. The idea was to try and do 2 of his shorter series each year and anchor the classics line around Go Nagai.For other shit...I think Stop!! Hibari-kun! will happen at some point. There's a licensing issue due to the change from Shueisha to Shogakukan. If they get that sorted, expect either us or Viz Media to release it.1990's classics seem to be doing alright. Spriggan, Marmalade Boy and Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou all did well. Gravitation has had a bit of a slow start but it's not terrible. We have another 1990's shoujo to announce later this year.
>>268698136>Blame Cutie Honey. She sold extremely bad.i always wonder why cutie honey never really take off in the west. it's sexy and has a lot of action
>>268698136>Classics prior to the 1990's don't really sell >Women actually buy shit they want and have cultivated their interests>Men can't be assed to buy anything actually good.I fucking hate men now.
>>268698136>Mazinger Z and Mao Dante were planned for the second waveDid the Devilman Classic sell well enough at least?
>>268698136>Not this one. But, there's another NTR series that people are submitting pretty often. It's more expensive so this is a test for it.I bet it's this one.
>>268696125Isekai Furin is not really NTR
>>268698510This series is really, really unintentionally gay. It's like, despite all the fucking he does, you get the feeling the protagonist really wants to plough his friend's asshole.
>>268698472It underperformed. Due to Crybaby everyone had higher expectations. >>268698447Tell men to buy more diverse genres of manga, and older manga. There's a reason we keep licensing isekai manga that are practically the exact same thing with a different title. Men.At this time, if there are any classics you want and they are shoujo, send them in the survey. And don't submit Glass Mask, Patalliro or Crest of the Royal Family. They aren't happening.>>268698959Good.
>>268683396Sometimes they pick something worthwhile.
>>268699457>Due to Crybaby everyone had higher expectations.My hatred for Crybaby has increased to levels previously thought impossible.>Tell men to buy more diverse genres of manga, and older manga. I do whenever I can, especially since a lot of older manga have that masculine power fantasy element to them that they would enjoy.I bought this up in a previous thread, but I did suggest stocking issues might also be a factor in low sales as well. Normalfags are less likely to veer from their comfort zone if they can't flip through a title in a physical store.>And don't submit Glass Mask, Patalliro or Crest of the Royal Family. They aren't happening.Not shoujo (though it is certainly inspired by it), but how often has Bastard!! popped up in those surveys? I know it's a huge undertaking considering all the different Japanese releases and pedigree, but I want to know if Viz is also an issue in licensing it (this also applies to other oop titles held by previous publishers, active or not.)>At this time, if there are any classics you want and they are shoujo, send them in the survey.Josei good? Been sending in Rei Mikamoto manga for a couple years now.
>>268698136Why is lvl1 demon to one room hero taking a lifetime to translate and even got delayed? I will have to wait an extra 2 years to finish it.
>>268699457>Glass MaskKEK i can understand Patalliro but why Glass Mask? Publishers from other countries (Euro) have it, but probably because it happened more than 20 years ago.
>>268683396You answered your own question. Their business model is to buy cheap, unknown IPs and release them to foreign markets with a shoestring budget and staff. Very limited downside risk, and sometimes these b-tier manga make a modest impact (hurry the fuck up with One Room Hero already).
>>268699826>how often has Bastard!! popped up in those surveysIt's very high. The license is expensive. But it'll also have some controversy due to the naming changes required and the updates made to the first 2 volumes. I don't think anyone will ever license Bastard!! again. They'll have youtubers claiming censorship for views due to the names and others arguing over the artwork.>Josei good?Josei's doing better lately. If they're short then suggest them. >>268699977Not my area but normally it's licensing dramas. Either someone at the Japanese publisher isn't responding or they left the company and no one's checking their emails. I'll ask a few people and see if I can make anything happen.>>268700141It has too many volumes.
>>268698136It's almost like the "classics" are a meme.
>>268701150>Either someone at the Japanese publisher isn't responding or they left the company and no one's checking their emailsThat's funny, well, thanks for replying.
>>268683991At least they don't aggressively remove scanlations like Irodori
>>268701150How long does it usually take to release one tank volume after the previous from the same series?
>>268699515We're finally actually going to get non-shit scans of Rozen Maiden?
>>268678927It's not really cuckshit per se. The warrior girl and MC hero were originally in love but MC was forced into a political marriage by the king and the warrior settled for a former member of the party or something.
>>268696627I'll legitimately suck their CEOs dick if they print the rest of Lodoss War
>>268683396Random manga is cheap, that is why there are a ton of companies localizing series right now. If something like Manga Planet or Comikey can get a fairly large library, Seven Seas with actual significant sales can get as much as they want in terms of random unknown manga.
>>268701150>I don't think anyone will ever license Bastard!! again. They'll have youtubers claiming censorship for views due to the names and others arguing over the artwork.That is unfortunately a good point. Netflix leaving most of the names unchanged would have everyone's expectations for the manga to retain the names sky high. All that and its length being a whopping 27 volumes total would be overwhelming for any publisher. Really makes me appreciate Bastard anon's efforts even more.Thanks for the responses. Learning the classic manga didn't sell well was very disheartening, but it's nice to finally have an answer, and I'm very glad you managed to publish what you did. Same with all the other, more modern titles I enjoy that have also underperformed.
>>268701150>>268703287Bastard is one of those series that I could see some new inexperienced company looking for something to get them noticed going after thinking of it as a well known and unlicensed title and deluding themselves about how much it sales potential it would have.
>>268701150How have audiobooks been selling? It feels like they weren't really a thing then suddenly a fair amount of popular titles were getting them.
More mecha and sci-fi stuff would rock. I love my trashy isekai stuff. But, I'd love to have phsyical, translated volumes of Linebarrels of Iron or something.
>>268696125Isekai ntr is kino
>>268699457That is unfortunate on Devilman
>>268701910who is dead. it also ends with the Hero going back in time and telling the king to fuck himself and starting his own kingdom.part 2 is exclusively about cucking though.>mc has the power to make married women automatically fall in love with him and fuck him. He has a harem of wives who are all looking for their lost husbands. In the mean time he fucks them using [ATTACK]. Got hard thinking about part 2 going to beat my shit to it right now.time to decide between the rogue, elf, priest, samurai or orgy
>men want trashy light novel romance/harem, ntr and isekai>women want BLYeah I am thinking BASED.
>>268683007>wives whose husbands have been stolen by the demon lordSo you're saying the demon lord seduced their husbands?
>>268681688You need to take your medication, anon.
>>268684997>He's offended by being told to touch grassUh oh. Someone's wasting his life.
>>268699515Nice.
>>268677659Please pick up some old classic instead of this garbage.
>>268696627I just want someone to finally release Area 88 unflipped. (and do the whole thing, fuck you VIZ)
>>268708343I like Ace Combat so I feel like this'd be up my alley.
If Seven Seas insider is still here, are they basically making Ancient Magus' Bride a lower priority after the simulpub machine TL announcement?
>>268701910From my recollection didn't the princess wife also cheat on the MC with a scheming advisor? And it was implied MC's son wasn't really his but the advisor's?
>>268708076I’m sorry anon, but it seems like it’s the garbage that’s in higher demand (and will sell better) than the old classics. Cheaper to license, too I’m guessing.
>>268707753Well, in the latest chapters the party confronts the demon lord, who's actually the wife of a sealed demon god and has been kidnapping the husbands to resurrect her own husband (not sure if seduction was implied), and the hero punishes her for all the suffering she's been causing by driving her to near-climax without putting it in
>>268708343oh wow, I never read this even thought is literally the first title in the pile of stuff to read that I added 10 years ago.
>>268698136> Kamen Rider Black has licensing issuesWhat’s the hold up on the American side? Spain is getting it, and Brazil got it a few years ago too. Also, is it true Ishimori Pro is really anal about not licensing out the gag-centric Gorenger manga?
>>268692291downloaded from nyaa, of course
>>268708991>>268710412You should absolutely check out the OVA and manga (8 volumes have been translated by viz)even the TV anime is pretty neat, does its own thing.
>>268709429Ashita no Joe is getting a translation later this year, so it seems there is some hope.
>>268677659The state of this fucking industry
>>268688638guy hot. guy x2 = double the hot
>>268677659Seven Seas has yet to release anything interesting in a year. Last one was Homunculus
>>268698136What took you guys so long to not release sengoku youko? Tokyopop snatched it and killed it
>>268712652Thank you for the heads up.
>>268698136>I think Stop!! Hibari-kun! will happen at some point. There's a licensing issue due to the change from Shueisha to Shogakukan. If they get that sorted, expect either us or Viz Media to release it.Something to think about in the future, thank you
>>268698136>The second Lupin III Classic Collection sold badly and killed any interest in doing more Monkey Punch works. Sorry.I'm a big fan of Lupin III, and watch almost every series or movie they make. But this is completely understandable, it's a series that is lost to the newer generations. Sad.Does the company make much money licensing and selling this stuff, or is more of a "it makes enough to keep going"?
>>268712652Quite happy this is upcoming.
>>268716798Beyond Japan, isn't Lupin still big in Europe?
>>268698136I picked up a copy of thishttps://sevenseasentertainment.com/books/mysterious-disappearances-vol-1/after the show ended and I liked that it's uncensored as far as I can tell (comparing to JP raws). Is this gonna be uncensored too?https://sevenseasentertainment.com/books/the-barbarians-bride-vol-1/
>How much better the thread got when the literal faggot stopped postingReally makes you think.
>>268720140Localization issues aside, I don't think there have been any censorship of visuals in recent years for Seven Seas?
>>268708343I'm still amazed Viz got through Excel Saga.
>>268721387There's 2 possibly.A young looking boys nipple is censored on the cover of Gravitation volume 1. But then the artwork is repeated inside the book uncensored. Made in Abyss 12 has the cover image text coincidentally covering a nipple. But then the image is repeated after like 2 or 3 pages and it's uncensored.So the uncensored images are still there, just not on the cover. Probably to reduce the karens from complaining.
