(September 20, 2023) – Seven Seas Entertainment is pleased to announce, through its Airship light novel imprint, the license acquisition of the light novel series The Mimosa Confessions by Mei Hachimoku and KUKKA.

Growing up in a dreary suburb, sakuma. has little to brighten his humdrum days aside from his best friend. The bright, talented, and attractive Ushio seems to have everything sakuma. lacks, and his academics and athletic prowess make him popular with the girls at school.

Against all odds, he eventually gains a friend in Natsuki, the sweetest girl in class. The two hit it off gushing about their favorite novels, and he falls head over heels for her. But that very same night, he stumbles upon an unexpected sight while walking through a familiar park: his old friend Ushio, dressed in a full-blown schoolgirl's uniform and sobbing uncontrollably.
The Mimosa Confessions (light novel) Vol. 1 will be released for the first time in the English language in June 2024 for $15.99 USA / $19.99 CAN, with the series available in single large-trim editions as part of Seven Seas' Airship imprint.
