Seven Seas Licenses The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System Omnibus Manga Series

(July 23, 2025) — Seven Seas Entertainment is excited to announce the license acquisition of the manga series The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System by Nekoko and Brocco Lee. When one gamer is reincarnated into a familiar video game, he chooses a class deemed useless and seen as cowardly, shocking everyone. But he knows there's more to the Heavy Knight class than anyone realizes! The exciting isekai manga finally comes to print in 2-volume omnibus releases.

When 15-year-old Elma manifested the class of Heavy Knight during the “Divine Blessing Ceremony,” he was quickly chastised and punished for picking such a defective class. Born into a lineage of Sword Saints, the decision leads Elma to be stripped of his position as next head of Edvan Household and quickly exiled.

But, while others see his choice as cowardly and stupid, Elma knows there's something special about the unbalanced status and so-called useless skills of the Heavy Knight. And he knows this because he's actually been reincarnated into this world—a world that was just a video game in his past life. Because of his familiarity of the game world, Elma knows that the Heavy Knight class is the strongest to ever exist. And he plans to prove it. Using the knowledge from his previous life, Elma begins his journey to game the system and become the ultimate hero!

The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System (Omnibus) Vol. 1-2 will be printed for the first time in the English language in June 2026 for $24.99 USA / $32.99 CAN, with the series available in omnibus editions. Ebook editions will also be available on digital platforms.
