Seven Seas Entertainment has announced the acquisition of three fresh manga series for English publication: My Cat’s Aura is Strong Today, The Exiled Heavy Knight is Actually the Strongest, and The Villainess Who Used to Be A Grass Has Had Her Engagement Broken Off. Each title brings a unique blend of genre subversion, charm, and humor, perfectly timed for readers looking for cozy fantasy or comedic isekai vibes.
The first volumes of all three series are set to debut in May 2026, with print and digital editions available simultaneously.
A Quick Look at the Titles
- My Cat’s Aura is Strong Today (Kyō mo Neko no Chōi wa Zekōchō)
A hilarious slice-of-life about an ordinary guy whose cat emits a terrifying spiritual presence—one so strong, even exorcists are afraid. This comedic story mixes supernatural parody with the universal truth: cats are always in charge. - The Exiled Heavy Knight is Actually the Strongest (Tsuihō Sareta Jūhei wa Jitsu wa Saikyō datta)
Betrayed and banished, a supposedly “useless” knight returns stronger than ever thanks to a hidden skill: he’s a gamer. This isekai-inspired fantasy follows his journey to power and revenge, all through gaming logic. - The Villainess Who Used to Be A Grass Has Had Her Engagement Broken Off (Zassō datta watashi ga Akuyaku Reijō?)
A quirky twist on reincarnation tropes. A former blade of grass is reborn as a noble villainess—and promptly dumped by her fiancé. But this heroine doesn’t need romance to thrive. Expect bizarre humor, self-discovery, and plant-based revenge.
Short Story Preview
In a world where cats radiate spiritual energy, one feline rules the household like a deity. Meanwhile, a disgraced knight picks up a controller and begins rebuilding his life, step by step. And in a noble ballroom, a once-humble blade of grass—now a sharp-tongued villainess—plots her rise to power without needing a prince to save her. These three tales bring fresh energy to the manga scene, combining absurd premises with heartfelt undertones.
Character Spotlights
- The Cat (My Cat’s Aura is Strong Today)
Silent, fluffy, and terrifying. Its aura can make trained priests faint—but all it really wants is a nap. - The Heavy Knight (The Exiled Heavy Knight…)
Tough, loyal, and unexpectedly tech-savvy. After exile, he uses strategy and gaming mechanics to rewrite his fate. - The Grass/Villainess (The Villainess Who Used to Be a Grass…)
Reincarnated from a literal weed, she’s had enough of being walked on—literally and figuratively.
