Seven Seas Licenses 'When It Rains, It Pours' Boys' Love Light Novel (Airship Imprint)

(November 19, 2025) — Seven Seas Entertainment is excited to announce the license acquisition of the Mature-rated Boys' Love light novel When It Rains, It Pours by Michi Ichiho and Lala Takemiya. Two strangers find shelter in one another as an anonymous exchange sparks friendship. But can it lead into something more? A Boys' Love light novel that proves every storm leads to brighter days.

Hagiwara Kazuaki is just an ordinary working adult, increasingly troubled by the growing distance between him and his live-in girlfriend, Kaori. Meanwhile, his co-worker, Nakarai Sei, quietly pines for his male roommate and childhood friend, Fujisawa Kazuaki. One day, a misfired email sparks an anonymous exchange between Hagiwara and Nakarai, leading to an odd but comforting friendship built on shared frustrations and anxieties.

But what happens when love can't be expressed through physical connection? Hagiwara and Nakarai's shared secret soon blossoms into passion—and their turbulent feelings will find an outlet.

When It Rains, It Pours (Light Novel) will be printed for the first time in the English language in October 2026 for $15.99 USA / $20.99 CAN in a single volume edition as part of Seven Seas' Airship imprint. An ebook edition will also be available on digital platforms.
