Seven Seas Licenses
AFTER SCHOOL ETUDE
Boys’ Love Manga Series
Seven Seas Entertainment has announced the license acquisition of the Boys’ Love manga series After School Etude by Hirune Cyan. Love hits the right notes in this BL manga about two unlikely dance partners who make the perfect pair.
When Minobe Chihiro is admitted to a private arts academy to study ballet, the last person he expects to train with is surly second-year student Ichinomiya Shun. Yet by some stroke of luck, the two are paired up for their school’s mandatory pas de deux practice. While Minobe has fallen at first sight for Ichinomiya’s superior dance sense, the second-year’s attitude leaves a lot to be desired. For Ichinomiya, being paired with Minobe as a dance partner is just one of the ways he’d like to be together with his new partner. It’s not just grades that have Ichinomiya dancing with Minobe—he’s head over heels, and he’s after Minobe’s heart! Recommended for Mature Audiences.
After School Etude Vol. 1 will be released for the first time in the English language in September 2024 for $14.99 USA / $18.99 CAN, with the series available in single large-trim editions as part of the Seven Seas BL label (Boys’ Love titles). Ebook editions will also be available on digital platforms.
