Seven Seas Licenses Girls’ Love Webcomic “Amongst Us” For Print
Publisher Seven Seas Entertainment announced the license acquisitions of the full-color Girls’ Love graphic novel “Amongst Us” by Shilin Huang.
According to Seven Seas, “this fun LGBT+ tale borne from the popular and long-running fantasy webcomic ‘Carciphona’, can be read and enjoyed independently”. Through its partnership with webcomic publisher Hiveworks Comics, Seven Seas will distribute the new trade paperback edition to bookstores and other retailers around the world. Shilin Huang is a comic writer/artist and musician based in Canada, best known for the popular fantasy webcomic “Carciphona” and the related alternate universe webcomic “Amongst Us”.
Synopsis: Veloce loves Blackbird. Blackbird loves Veloce. These two young women may have strange chemistry and seemingly nothing in common, but somehow, their offbeat relationship works. Join them for a dance through the city they call home as they satisfy Blackbird’s sweet tooth and indulge Veloce in her attempts to understand fashion. In an alternate universe, this sorceress and assassin share a very different reality...but in this one, they’re a modern couple who have built a life together—and they intend to enjoy it.
“Amongst Us - Book 1: Soulmates” will be released worldwide in a large-trim trade paperback edition with an exclusive new cover in July 2023 for $17.99 USA / $21.99 CAN. An ebook edition will also be available on digital platforms.
