Seven Seas revealed the first volume cover of their upcoming release of the danmei series Run Wild: Sa Ye, by author Wu Zhe. The cover art is credited to Tayue Jin (踏月锦), and the interior art is credited to Ding Yue Rong.
In contrast to how it has handled the process in its many previous danmei releases, Seven Seas is releasing a Special Edition for the first volume of this series. Previously, they would release them with a series’ finale volume, which allowed fans the time to get to know and love (and want merch for) a series. For Volume 1 of Run Wild only, Seven Seas is offering a Special Edition that comes with merch, including a bookmark, sticker sheet, a notebook, and polaroids. As with all of Seven Seas’ danmei special editions, they are limited to a single print run and will not be available for purchase again after stock is sold out.
Run Wild: Sa Ye (撒野) is a danmei webnovel series written by author Wu Zhe. It was originally serialized on JJWXC starting in 2016, where it ran for 145 chapters. It has a completed audio drama adaptation, as well as an ongoing manhua adaptation available in Chinese and English. It inspired a live-action by the name of 左肩有你 (Chasing the Light), which wrapped production in 2021 but remains unreleased as of 2024. The series also had a donghua adaptation announced by Tencent Penguin Pictures, but it has also not had any updates since a short trailer in 2021.
Seven Seas Entertainment describes Run Wild: Sa Ye with the following synopsis:
Unwanted by his adoptive parents, Jiang Cheng leaves home to live in a cold, gray city with his deadbeat dad whose only talent is feeding a gambling addiction. Alone save for his suitcase, the rebellious teenage boy arrives at the train station ready to face his miserable new life.
But the moment he steps off the platform, Jiang Cheng meets the peculiar young girl Gu Miao, along with her big brother Gu Fei—a boy his age with a musical staff shaved into his hair. Rumor has it that Gu Fei is bad news with dark secrets of his own, but Jiang Cheng still finds himself pulled toward the withdrawn delinquent thanks to Gu Miao and, perhaps, fate. The unlikely friendship that blossoms between them shows Jiang Cheng the hidden depths of Gu Fei…and the hidden depths of his own feelings.
Volume One is slated for release on January 21, 2025, and preorders are open for both the Regular Edition and the Special Edition.
