Seven Seas Announces Kashimashi & 3 Other Japanese Licenses(LOS ANGELES, July 31, 2006) - Seven Seas Entertainment is proud to formally announce the acquisition of 4 new Japanese licenses-manga series Kashimashi ~Girl Meets Girl~, Kodomo no Jikan, Neconoclasm, and the novel series Shinigami no Ballad. First announced during Seven Seas' panels at Anime Expo and the San Diego Comic-Con, each of these new titles brings something unique to Seven Seas' ever-expanding line-up of manga and novels. Kashimashi ~Girl Meets Girl~, about a boy who becomes a girl caught in an all-girl love triangle, and Shinigami no Ballad, about a young female grim reaper who reaps souls but also helps those in need, are both hit anime series that have already gained considerable buzz in North America for their high production quality. Kodomo no Jikan is a fun-filled comedy romp about a group of school girls who do nothing but try to put their innocent male teacher into compromising situations. And Neconoclasm is a can't-miss collection of gag strips featuring hilarious cat girls drawn in the super-cute spirit of Di Gi Charat. Full Title Details: KASHIMASHI ~GIRL MEETS GIRL~ Story by Satoru Akahori Being a girl is harder than it looks... For Hazumu, this couldn't be truer, because just the other day, she...was a he. Shunned by the girl of his dreams, Hazumu loses himself in the mountains and is promptly squashed by an oncoming space ship. The alien inside, feeling guilty, rebuilds Hazumu's body...but as the wrong gender! Now Hazumu must learn how to be the girl his parents always wanted while dealing with the trials and tribulations of being caught in a love triangle between two girls--his childhood friend, Tomari, and Yasuna, the girl who rejected him but is now strangely attracted to him/her! KODOMO NO JIKAN Story & Art by Kaworu Watashiya It's the cute ones you've gotta watch out for... 23-year old school teacher Aoki Daisuke has a huge problem.
