FAQ

Will Seven Seas be publishing any more danmei series?

If our current books continue to sell well, that increases the chance that other danmei will be published officially in English! We're thrilled to already be bringing works over from multiple beloved authors. Thank you for your support! And feel free to suggest any licenses in our monthly survey, which can be found via our main website.


Will you censor anything?

We’re working closely with respected translators in the danmei community to ensure a smooth, faithful translation of the original works given to us by the rights holders, with all content included—including some material not available in other editions (such as short stories and sex scenes).


Will you include all the short stories and bonus chapters?

Our editions will include all the material given to us by the rights holders for publication in English. In most cases, that will include short stories previously seen in print and digital editions, although there are some exceptions (such as a story exclusive to another publication).


Will the books have content warnings/ratings?

Seven Seas does not include specific content warnings on novels. However, Seven Seas does print age ratings on the back of books with a high level of adult content, such as books rated Mature.


Why has the release date of a book changed?

There are many reasons why release dates may change, including factors that are outside of our control. We're working hard to get high-quality translations and illustrations of your favorite books out to you—thank you for your patience!


Does this support the creator?

These are official English editions licensed from the rights holders, so every new copy purchased—ebook or paperback—will support the original creator, like the official editions in various other languages.


Is the artwork "official"?

Yes! All the artwork published in our editions—from the character designs to the logos to the interior illustrations—must receive full approval from the rights holders.


Will you hire me to translate, edit, or draw for a danmei series?

Please stay tuned to our Jobs page to see when we're hiring. You can also share your resume or portfolio for consideration via the contact form on our main website. Please note that Seven Seas cannot reply to all submissions, and emailing us does not guarantee consideration.


Will there be an audiobook?

No audiobooks are available at this time, but we will be sure to make an announcement if that changes. You can find all of our current audiobooks under the Seven Seas Siren imprint here.


What about the manhua/comics?

Seven Seas is releasing the Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation manhua/comic as well, with multiple volumes already available. More details here.


Why do you include guides in the back of danmei novels?

Our faithful translations include specific terms and tropes that may be unfamiliar to new readers, so we also include various footnotes, glossaries, and/or guides to help explain them. Some series have more elaborate guides than others.


Can we order the books directly from you?

Yes! Along with being distributed by Penguin Random House, the largest distributor in North America—who provides service to many retailers and bookstores around the world—we also recently launched the GOMANGA Store!


Will you publish hardcovers, box sets, special editions, or merch?

All English editions are paperbacks or ebooks that include internal illustrations and feature new art. Some books, such as the finale volumes of the MXTX novels, also have special limited editions that include extra art or merchandise. We will announce any additional special editions or formats that may be coming.


Will the books ship/be available internationally?

Each series will be available in North America and in many bookstores around the globe. In case the books are not available in a store near you, some online retailers will also ship internationally.


Why is the price different on _______ website?

There are two set prices for our books—the US and CAN—however it is up to the discretion of retailers how to price the books, and some fluctuations may occur for a variety of reasons including sales or the exchange rate of your local currency.


How does Seven Seas decide how long a book will be, or how many volumes the full series will be?

This depends on many factors and is specific to each series. It's common for the number of volumes in a series to vary across all of the languages the series is printed in.


Are all the danmei novels in the same format/have the same type of content?

In general, the novels in our danmei label are prose paperbacks/ebooks with illustrations (both color and B&W) and some sort of appendix material in the back (glossary, etc.). Some series may have slight variations or include additional features, like French flaps, additional art, or a special edition release.


Why does an artist, translator, etc., sometimes change over the course of a series?

This is dependent on many factors, some of which are outside of our control (such as a health issue).


I'm overseas and preordered ______, but haven't received it yet! Where is it?

We distribute our books internationally but we can’t control how stocking or pre-orders are handled at every retailer, so customers need to contact them directly.

Resources

Glossary

A select list of terms for those new to the genre. All of our releases also include footnotes and/or guides specific to that series.Danmei: a Chinese fiction genre focused on romanticized tales of love and attraction between men, similar to BL (boys’ love) from Japan. The majority of well-known danmei writers are women writing for women, although all genders produce and enjoy the genre.Donghua: a term for animation from China, used in the same way as anime is for animation from Japan.Manhua: a term for a comic from China, used as manga (Japan) and manhwa (Korea). Manhua can be color or black and white, and pages read left to right.Baihe: the woman/woman counterpart to danmei, similar to Girls’ Love/GL or yuri from Japan.Xianxia: a fantasy subgenre of wuxia, with characters striving to achieve immortality. Xianxia has heavy Daoist and “cultivation” themes, includes magic, and might expand beyond the mortal realm to the heavenly realm, the ghost realm, and the cosmos.Cultivators: in xianxia, cultivators are spiritually powerful martial artists who seek to understand and be in harmony with the will of the universe, known as the dao (“the Path”)—a concept in many schools of Chinese religion and philosophy, including Daoism. Cultivation is the general process of training and strengthening one’s innate qi and spiritual core, which powers magical/spiritual abilities and can make one immortal (immune to illness and aging).Qi: sometimes written as chi, qi is the vital energy that exists in all living things, both righteous and poisonous. Cultivators strive to cultivate qi by absorbing it from the natural world and refining it within themselves.Transmigration: similar to the isekai genre in Japanese media, where a character—usually from the modern world—is transported to the past, the future, or a fantasy world, often one that was originally a novel or video game the transmigrator may have recently experienced in their first life.

Copper Coins:
Tong Qian Kan Shi

In this historical fantasy danmei, a monk with amnesia and two raggedy paper dolls inhabited by a dragon and a ghost embark on a journey to reclaim their former glory. But can they endure each other long enough to find what they seek?Under the blue glow of dawn, Xue Xian—former dragon and current paper doll—is mere moments away from being kidnapped and exorcized. Except, Xue Xian has no idea! Instead, he’s cursed to be trapped in the form of a hideous paper doll alongside the bickering Jiang Shining, a former ghost indebted to assist Xue Xian in reclaiming his lost glory and, ultimately, avenging the wrongs inflicted upon him.So when a monk with amnesia named Xuanmin—hot on the trail of an unknown curse—arrives at the burnt ruins of Jiang Manor, he quickly finds the source. Putting off the exorcism for his return, Xuanmin unceremoniously stuffs two crude paper dolls inside his pouch and heads back, none the wiser. Furious, Xue Xian grumpily stews in captivity and declares a new vow: To turn this high-minded monk’s life into a living hell!Trapped as a traveling trio, they must suffer one another’s company while seeking answers to their growing list of questions: Will Jiang Shining be able to fulfill the unfinished business that tethers him to this mortal coil? Will Xue Xian be able to crack Xuanmin's icy demeanor, and will he like what he finds if he does? More importantly still, who even is Xuanmin?
