Seven Seas Entertainment has announced two new boys love webtoon manhwa series to be published as part of their Seven Seas Webtoons label. Both titles are in full color and are rated for mature readers.
The New Recruit, by MOSCARETO and Zec, is an office romance about a twentysomething young man who is trying to make a fresh start in his career and the rest of his life after putting everything on hold for years to pursue an unrequited love. The manhwa inspired the K-drama The New Employee. Moscareto is the creator of Punch Drunk Love, which is also published by Seven Seas; both webtoons run in English on the Lezhin platform. Seven Seas will publish the first volume of The New Recruit on October 22, 2024, with an MSRP of $21.99.
Checkmate, by TAN, is a psychological drama about a young man who competed obsessively with another student in high school, and always lost; as an adult, he becomes a reporter in order to write hit pieces about his former rival, who has been brought low by a major scandal. This webtoon also appears on the Lezhin platform, which hosts both the original and an all-ages edition. Seven Seas will publish the mature-rated version of Vol. 1 of Checkmate on October 8, 2024, with an MSRP of $21.99.
