Seven Seas Licenses 'Me and the Prez, Drinking Under the Stars' Manga Series

(November 19, 2025) — Seven Seas Entertainment is excited to announce the license acquisition of the manga series Me and the Prez, Drinking Under the Stars by ZURIKISHI. An adorably awkward office rom-com about a young woman finding her footing at work and the man who is devoted to seeing her succeed.

At 24, Reina Izutsu has recently become the new president of Izutsu Printing after taking over for her late father. Young and not quite experienced, Reina wants to do her best but unfortunately comes across as harsh with her employees. Stressed and feeling lost, Reina spends an evening drowning her sorrows in beer at an empty park. She rants and vents out loud to the starry sky that she wants to give up and quit being president, just letting off steam. Except, she fails to realize that her subordinate, 37-year-old section chief Kenichi Ishizumi, heard her drunken ramblings! But rather than use this against her, Kenichi finds himself charmed by the young woman. He vows then and there to support her and help her find her way as company president, no matter what! 

Me and the Prez, Drinking Under the Stars Vol. 1 will be printed for the first time in the English language in November 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.
