Seven Seas Licenses I SAY Boys' Love Manga

(March 25, 2026) — Seven Seas Entertainment is thrilled to announce the license acquisition of the Mature-rated Boys Love manga I SAY by NEMUI ASADA. A new short story manga collection from prolific Boys' Love author Nemui Asada, creator of SLEEPING DEAD (also from Seven Seas)!

Sei, a 36-year-old office worker, has convinced himself that he's no good at love. That's why he sticks to purely physical relationships, satisfied with one-night stands and no-strings-attached sex. However, his life is quickly turned upside down when he meets a handsome younger man named Ai via a dating app and falls head over heels. At first, they both agree to keep feelings out of their arrangement, but how long will it be before one of them finally says “I love you”?

I SAY will be released in January 2027 for $15.99 USA / $20.99 CAN, with the manga available in a single large-trim edition as part of the Seven Seas BL Label (Boys' Love titles). An ebook edition will also be available on digital platforms.
