Seven Seas Launches Easygoing Territory Defense by the Optimistic Lord: Production Magic Turns a Nameless Village into the Strongest Fortified City Audiobook for Siren Imprint

(January 28, 2026) — Seven Seas Entertainment is excited to announce, through its Siren imprint for audiobooks, the launch of the audiobook for Easygoing Territory Defense by the Optimistic Lord: Production Magic Turns a Nameless Village into the Strongest Fortified City by Sou Akaike and Kururi, with narration by Eric O'Keeffe. In this fantasy isekai tale, a reincarnated nobleman with a “useless” skill transforms a village into a prosperous city! And don't miss the manga adaptation, also from Seven Seas—or the anime!

Van, fourth son of a marquis, is just a toddler when he realizes he's been reincarnated. Thanks to his literal lifetime of knowledge, he's raised as a child prodigy—until his production magic manifests, and it's the last thing his snooty mage family wants to see! His disappointed father banishes him to a podunk town on the verge of collapse, yet Van can only see the place's potential. Can our hero's bastion of battlements build a better life than battle magic ever could?!

Easygoing Territory Defense by the Optimistic Lord: Production Magic Turns a Nameless Village into the Strongest Fortified City (Audiobook) Vol. 1 will be released for the first time in the English language on February 26, 2026. Pre-orders available now at sevenseasaudiobooks.com.
