Seven Seas has announced preorders for their English release of the first volume of the I Ship My Rival x Me manhua, which is an adaptation of a danmei series written by PEPA. The manhua’s art is contributed by artist Qualia. The volume will release on November 19, 2024.
Notably, this license is only for the manhua adaptation of the original webnovel series of the same name. As of this time, Seven Seas has not officially announced any plans to acquire the novel license for release in English.
I Ship My Rival x Me (我嗑了对家x我的cp) is a danmei series written by author PEPA. Seven Seas provides the following summary:
Wei Yanzi and Gu Yiliang debuted together three years ago, from the same agency, so it was inevitable that they’d be considered rivals by their fans. Unfortunately for Wei Yanzi, while Gu Yiliang has phenomenal acting skills to go with his idol-tier good looks…Wei Yanzi only has the idol-tier good looks. He’s so tired of reading online hate comments accusing him of scheming to undermine Gu Yiliang that when he stumbles across a community of people who fervently believe the two actors are an item, it’s not just a shock—it’s a relief! Moved by these fans’ passion and thrilled to find a community where nobody’s trash-talking him, Wei Yanzi becomes addicted to their posts analyzing his and Gu Yiliang’s every move for shipping fuel.
Of course there’s nothing actually going on between the two of them…but as he spends more time with Gu Yiliang on the period drama they’re filming together, why is Wei Yanzi starting to feel like the shippers might actually be onto something?!
The first volume will release on November 19, 2024, and is available for preorder now.
