Seven Seas Licenses The Wicked Princess and Her Twelve Eyes: The Legendary Villainess and Her Elite Assassins Manga Series

(January 14, 2026) — Seven Seas Entertainment is excited to announce the license acquisition of the manga series The Wicked Princess and Her Twelve Eyes: The Legendary Villainess and Her Elite Assassins by Daken, Mugi Sawai, and saino. Betrayed and framed by the crown prince, one woman gets a second chance to avoid death and exact her revenge in this action fantasy manga! From the author of Who Killed the Hero? and When the Monster Meat I Ate Led Me to the Throne.

Lady Serena was betrayed by the crown prince, framed for a crime she didn't commit, and executed by poison. But instead of dying, she wakes up in the past with a second chance—and this time, she's not playing nice. After all, the so-called "murder" she was accused of was just a little misunderstanding! Looking back, Serena realizes her downfall wasn't due to poor scheming but a lack of competent underlings.

Determined to rewrite her fate, she recruits a group of desperate orphans and puts them through ruthless training, forging them into the most lethal, fanatically loyal elite force the kingdom has ever seen. Armed with her deadly entourage and sharp wit, Serena is ready to crush anyone who stands in her way. In this thrilling, cutthroat adventure, a morally flexible villainess seizes her second chance—not for redemption, but for revenge.

The Wicked Princess and Her Twelve Eyes: The Legendary Villainess and Her Elite Assassins (manga) Vol. 1 will be printed for the first time in the English language in December 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.
