Seven Seas Licenses The Lord-Magear's Apprentice Manga Series

(October 22, 2025) — Seven Seas Entertainment is thrilled to announce the license acquisition of the manga series The Lord Magear's Apprentice by FLIPFLOPs. When one mercenary is ordered to defeat the wizard who saved him, he has only one choice: to become a sorcerer's apprentice! A fantastical manga about fate, loyalty, and magic—from the author of Darwin's Game.

When he was very little, the boy mercenary Gall was saved by the high-ranking magician Kuon. Now, he's taken on the job of working with an order of knights to defeat a wizard! However, the knights are ambushed and easily defeated by the eldritch power of…Kuon?! Having survived the onslaught, Gall has only one option—accept a position as Kuon's apprentice, despite having no magical ability of his own!

The Lord Magear's Apprentice Vol. 1 will be printed for the first time in the English language in August 2026 for $13.99 USA / $17.99 CAN, with the series available in single volume editions. Ebook editions will also be available on digital platforms.
