Seven Seas Licenses We Are Not Beasts Boys' Love Manga Series

(June 4, 2025) — Seven Seas Entertainment is pleased to announce the license acquisition of the Mature-rated Boys Love manga series We Are Not Beasts by Shoko Rakuta. Two alpha brothers have their eyes set on a delicate-looking omega whose personality does not match his looks! The popular Boys' Love one-shot turned series is finally available in English print—from the creator of Stay By My Side After the Rain, also available from Seven Seas.

Onizuka Raita and his younger brother Fuuta are infamous at their high school for being tough alphas who aren't afraid to take names and kick butt. It's also public knowledge that both boys are down bad for Kazusa, a delicate-looking, pretty omega. Despite his dainty appearance, Kazusa possesses an unwavering sense of justice and chivalry. He wishes that he could be stronger and live his life without being seen as just another omega in need of protecting, but his world is turned upside-down when he gets his first heat unexpectedly. Even more surprising, his doctor announces that his fated mate is likely somewhere close by.

What happens when Kazusa's suppressants go missing and his heat hits right when he's alone with the Onizuka brothers? Will he be able to fend off “fate,” as well as his own instincts?

We Are Not Beasts Vol. 1 will be released in March 2026 for $15.99 USA / $20.99 CAN, with the manga 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.
