Hello everyone! I’m back again with more manga and light novel licensing announcements. Seeing as it’s Wednesday, that means Seven Seas is back with more new games for their “Wonderful Wednesday” licensing event. This time they have released 8 new games to bring you some fun, one of which we will get a comic version and Light novel released. Without further ado, let’s get into the big announcements!
Now we draw (comics)
Story by: Kyu Takahata, art by: Yuuji Kaba
Opposites attract in this hilarious romantic comedy about two high school cartoonists who can’t catch a break!
Dewebi high schooler Yuki Uehara makes the perfect romantic comedy heroine – she’s shy, simple-minded, and completely chaste. When an editor at Uehara’s dream publisher coldly dismisses his manga story as corny and lacking in realism, Uehara falls into a spiral of despair, pushing him into the palace of his lively, beautiful classmate Moto Arina’s Path – Miyamoto Aina is an aspiring manga artist herself! After getting similar feedback in her own manga, Miyamoto suggested that she and Uehara form a fake relationship since neither of them had any romantic experience. But Miyamoto is far from Uehara’s perfect heroine, nor is she the arrogant hero in Uehara’s story. Can their quirky relationship turn their comic book dreams into reality, or will it lead to more comic disasters?
