(September 24, 2025) — Seven Seas Entertainment is excited to announce, through its Ghost Ship imprint aimed at older male readers, the license acquisition of the manga series I’m Fine With Being the Second Girlfriend by Ninoko and Jōyō Nishi. A romance about a couple settling for second best while learning that the first choice isn't always meant to be.

Shirou Kirishima and Akane Hayasaka have a secret relationship that they keep to themselves. Despite having feelings for other people, the two act like lovers when they're alone, knowing their hearts ache for their first choices. They even made a promise to end things the moment feelings with their first choice became mutual. But as they grow closer with each other and their crushes, the act becomes something real, something unexpected. When it comes down to picking their crush or the person that has grown closest to them… will they be able to make the right choice?

I’m Fine With Being the Second Girlfriend Vol. 1 will be printed for the first time in the English language in July 2026 for $15.99 USA / $20.99 CAN, with the series available in single volume editions as part of Seven Seas' Ghost Ship imprint.
