Seven Seas Licenses Villager A Wants to Save the Villainess No Matter What! Light Novel Series (Airship Imprint)

(May 6, 2026) — Seven Seas Entertainment is pleased to announce the digital license acquisition of the light novel series Villager A Wants to Save the Villainess No Matter What! by Kōtarō Isshiki and Parum. Villager A is barely even an NPC—but he's going to be the one to save the villainess?!

Allen, reborn into an otome game, has finally recovered his memories. Now he knows that he has only a few short years to prevent the heroine from destroying his home and family…but how?! Not only is he an NPC, he's the least relevant NPC in existence, without even an actual name! However, all is not lost. Armed with his memories, he vows to make full use of his greatest cheat code—game knowledge—and change his destiny! Using his knowledge and skills gained from menial labor, he manages to become a C-rank adventurer and enter the fabled academy grounds. But will his efforts be enough to defeat the heroine and save the villainess, or is an NPC all he'll ever be?

Villager A Wants to Save the Villainess No Matter What! (Light Novel) Vol. 1 will be available for the first time in the English language in January 2027 on digital platforms as part of Seven Seas' Airship imprint.
