3	Seven Seas Entertainment was founded by Jason [=DeAngelis=] in 2004 with the goal of creating [[OELManga original English-language manga]]. They also published multiple {{Webcomics}}, also in a [[{{Animesque}} manga-like style]]. While Seven Seas has stopped hosting online comics, they continue to publish print comics, and have expanded to provide licenses of original Japanese and Chinese works. Nowadays the company has a reputation for offering a lot of {{Fanservice}} and [[YuriGenre yuri]] manga, having accepted to publish several ''Magazine/ShonenJump'' titles deemed too racy by Creator/VizMedia who usually publishes ''Jump'' titles internationally.
4
5	As of October 2017, they officially have a ''Ghost Ship'' subdivision created for their more salacious licenses. In 2022, they announced their ''Steamship'' imprint, which focuses on more explicit works aimed at a female audience.

301	----
302	!!Tropes applying to the company:
303	* BlindIdiotTranslation: Seven Seas Entertainment have received push back on removing queer-centered passages of text from series featuring queer characters with ''Literature/ImInLoveWithTheVillainess'', and also frequently translate Japanese text with misinterpreted subjects and other errors.
304	* {{Fanservice}}: It's Seven Seas' middle name. If a manga centers around pretty women wearing little, chances are Seven Seas will snatch it for licencing. More obtuse forms of fanservice such as [[YuriGenre yuri]] (for the straight guys and lesbian women) and [[YaoiGenre yaoi]] (for the straight girls) is also accepted pretty well.
305	* HotterAndSexier: The ''Ghost Ship'' imprint specializes in sex-focused manga, most of them romcoms. A large part of it is ''[[Magazine/ShonenJump Jump]]'' series that Creator/VizMedia, who otherwise have the rights to every Shueisha publishing in English, pass over for exactly such a reason.
306	* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Nearly all their OEL manga series are unavailable.
307	* SeriesMascot: Echiboo, the perverted little hamster from their breakout hit ''Manga/AoiHouse''.
308	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: At one point they had the license to ''Kodomo no Jikan'' - retitled ''Nymphet'' - for a (very) short time. The title was dropped prior to release when major bookstore chains refused to stock it. Jason [=DeAngelis=] also said that after seeing later issues of the manga, he could not in good conscience (and possibly legally, given US law at the time) publish the manga.
