(July 18, 2024) – Seven Seas Entertainment is pleased to announce, through its Siren imprint for audiobooks, the launch of five new audiobook series and one-shots: Toradora!, Reincarnated as a Sword, Perfect Blue: Complete Metamorphosis, The Condemned Villainess Goes Back in Time and Aims to Become the Ultimate Villain, and The Evil Queen’s Beautiful Principles.
Toradora! by Yuyuko Takemiya and Yasu, with narration by Cassandra Lee Morris–known for her roles in Persona 5, Fortnite, League of Legends, and more. The original novels that inspired the hit manga and anime series!
Takasu Ryuuji might look like a thug, but he’s actually a nice guy. Making friends when you’ve got an unintentionally scary face is tough–and don’t even get him started on girlfriends. But with his secret crush in his class, the start of his second year of high school is off to a good start…until he crosses paths with Aisaka Taiga. Beautiful, frightening, and not quite five feet tall, the girl known as the palmtop tiger is the one person in school even scarier than Ryuuji himself–and he’s just made the mistake of making her very, very angry.
Reincarnated as a Sword by Yuu Tanaka and LLO, with narration by Josh Hurley–known for his role as Skittermander in the game Starfinder. A modern man is reborn into a fantasy world as a sword in this isekai light novel series that inspired the anime as well as a manga and spin-off series (both from Seven Seas)!
Reincarnated as a sentient weapon with memories of his past life, but not his name, a magical sword saves a young beastgirl from a life of slavery. Fran, the cat-eared girl, becomes his wielder, and wants only to grow stronger, while the sword wants to know why he is here. Together, the strange duo’s journey has only just begun!
Perfect Blue: Complete Metamorphosis by Yoshikazu Takeuchi and Arvin Albo, with narration by Brittany Pressley–known for her role as Flora in the animated series Winx Club. The original psychological thriller novel that inspired the cult classic film by Satoshi Kon!
Kirigoe Mima is in the third year of her career as a pure and innocent pop idol. Feeling like something big needs to change, she plans to give her image a major update. When the new Mima is revealed–complete with a sexy outfit and a risque photo book–one of her most obsessive fans refuses to accept her transformation. To restore Mima to the innocent girl of her debut, he puts a terrifying plan to action that throws her life into chaos and mortal peril.
The Condemned Villainess Goes Back in Time and Aims to Become the Ultimate Villain by Bakufu Narayama and Ebisushi, with narration by Emily Bauer–known for her role as Cynthia in the Pokémon animated series. In this fantasy novel series of time travel, revenge, and aristocratic intrigue, a doomed noblewoman sets out to turn the tables on those who wronged her in her past life! (Inspired the manga, also out from Seven Seas.)
Claudia, daughter of a duke, is tricked by her wicked half-sister and sold off to a brothel. Unwilling to accept defeat, Claudia uses the tools at her disposal and becomes one of the most successful sex workers in her new home. That’s when she dies–only to be thrust back in time to age fourteen! Gone is the gullible girl of her academy days now that she’s got street savvy and hard-won seductive skills. It’s Claudia’s turn to play the evil villainess, and there’s nothing she won’t do to protect what’s hers!
The Evil Queen’s Beautiful Principles by Reia and Haduki Futaba, with narration by Shannon Tyo. Reincarnation, royalty, and revenge… A new fantasy isekai novel series by the creative team behind Accomplishments of the Duke’s Daughter (also from Seven Seas)!
A woman reborn, Crown Princess Luxeria is derided as a doll, beautiful and docile. But that’s merely the mask she wears. Powerful magic courses through her veins–magic that can corrupt hearts, erase memories, and pluck one’s innermost thoughts from the air. After years of being confined to a tower, she is finally set free…only to become embroiled in a grand conspiracy that kicks off with her parents’ murder. Thrust onto a tragic stage of love and betrayal, she will play her part to perfection.
