I see Luna Knight is in the John Wick genre.

Apparently it has some pretty cool action scenes.

3 More TItles

Small typo in the title of the news.

Otherwise, sadly nothing for me again. Really miss the times when Seven Seas licensed lots of yuri works. Maybe again in the future...

Luna Knight is amazing! Since i moved to Japan i have the first two tankoboun volumes and have been using a phone translator to read it. I will definitely be reverse importing the Seven Seas release . It’s literally like John Wick but with a girl instead.

Glad they licensed Cheeky Devil Cop! I was planning to check that out.

Will they bring Brandon Johnson for the Skeleton Knight audiobook?

Luna Knight looks pretty good. Fantastic art on the action scenes.

I liked the first couple of chapters I read of Let's Run An Inn, so I'll probably pick that up as well.

I'm also loving the 2-in-1 format Seven Seas is doing for more of their titles.

Since it is said that Kōdansha is going to axe Akuma de Fukei! (Cheeky Devil Cop!), maybe the Seven Seas edition, too, will be 3 volumes?

Though even an article about the Cheeky Devil Cop! manga on the Seven Seas website says that the family name of the manga-ka is Abe, actually, the family name of the manga-ka who writes and illustrates Akuma de Fukei! is Anbe. On my desk, there is Volume 1 of the Kōdansha edition of Akuma de Fukei! (Cheeky Devil Cop!), and the colophon of the tankōbon says the family name of the manga-ka is '安部 あんべ Anbe'.

It's the wrong link in the article, this is the right ANN link for Masahiro ANBE(安部 真弘); person#77095
...perhaps best know for Squid Girl.

Yes, since the ANN staffer has typed the name of the manga-ka as 'Masahiro Abe' in the article, it is linked to the 'Masahiro ABE' entry of the ANN Encyclopaedia. (The 'Masahiro ABE' entry itself seems to be a mishmash of the data about a recording engineer and the data about a background artist, though.)
As you have said, the manga-ka Anbe Masahiro, who wrote and illustrated Akuma de Fukei! (Cheeky Devil Cop!), has his own entry in the ANN Encyclopaedia.
Since I have bought and have read tankōbon of Anbe Masahiro's Fushigi Kenkyū-bu, I have also checked Volume 20 of the Shōnen Champion Comics edition of Fushigi Kenkyū-bu, and its colophon says that the family name of the manga-ka in question is '安部 あんべ ANBE'.
Seven Seas Entertainment have corrected the way to spell the family name of the manga-ka on their website, and they now spell the manga-ka's family name as Anbe, except the credit line in the picture of the manga, as of writing this. A staffer for Seven Seas Entertainment might have read my post here.
