Seven Seas license Captive Hearts of Oz and The Girl From the Other Side

Written by A. H. on 06 Jun 2016



After a week packed with new manga acquisitions from Seven Seas Entertainment, this jamboree of announcements came to a close on Friday with a final pair of new licenses.

Here's what the publisher revealed to close out their haul of news:

Captive Hearts of Oz re-imagines L. Frank Baum’s original Oz stories in a modern, shoujo style, much in the same way that the Alice in the Country of… series revisited Lewis Carroll’s work. Captive Hearts of Oz is an original tale of magic, adventure and romance, and will be a four volume series, released for the first time anywhere by Seven Seas Entertainment. Japanese author Ryo Maruyu will write the story, accompanied by Mamenosuke Fujimaru’s beautiful artwork.

Dorothy Gale, along with her beloved dog Toto, finds herself whisked away by a tornado to the mysterious land of Oz. Something about this strange place feels oddly familiar, but Dorothy just wants to go home. Following the advice of a kindly Witch, Dorothy must travel to the Emerald City and seek out the Wizard of Oz, who alone has the power to send her back to her world.

Alongside a trio of fascinating new companions, and a mysterious young man known as “Zero,” Dorothy must follow the Yellow Brick Road on her journey to escape Oz and some of its less than friendly denizens, the evil Witches. Yet even though all this seems to be happening for the first time, Dorothy feels as if they have all met before… Buried secrets and conflicted romance await Dorothy as she travels through the wonderful land of Oz!

The Girl From the Other Side: Siúil, a Rún is an all-new manga series that pulls readers into a magical and enchanting tale about a young girl and her demonic guardian, featuring beautiful artwork by Japanese manga creator, Nagabe.

In a world split between the Inside and the Outside, those living in both realms are told never to cross over to the other side, lest they be cursed. A young girl named Shiva lives in a vacant village with a demonic guardian known only as “Teacher.” Although the two are forbidden to touch, they seem to share a bond that transcends their disparate appearances. But when Shiva leaves Teacher’s care to seek out her grandmother, the secret behind her mysterious living arrangement comes to light.
