Seven Seas Licenses My Sketchy Roommate Manga
(January 21, 2026) — Seven Seas Entertainment is pleased to announce the license acquisition of the manga My Sketchy Roommate by Nagata Kabi. From the award-winning, prolific creator Nagata Kabi (My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness, My Twisted Eating Disorder, and more) comes a brand-new, emotional autobiographical manga about living alone and how the imagination copes.
Life has never been easy for Nagata Kabi, but no matter what gets thrown her way, she manages to work through it and find peace in the chaos. In this latest diary manga, Kabi explores life living alone and the sudden appearance of an old doodle. Whether it's all in her head or just a way to cope with loneliness, Kabi embraces the company, naming her Anko, and proceeds to share her daily tasks with her new friend. Despite the delusion, Kabi can't help but long to continue the late-night meals and shared udon with such pleasant company.
My Sketchy Roommate will be printed for the first time in the English language in December 2026 for $15.99 USA / $20.99 CAN, in a large-trim paperback edition. An ebook edition will also be available on digital platforms.
