The audiobook is volume 1 of The Misdeeds of an Extremely Arrogant Villain Aristocrat, written by Yukiha Kuroyuki and Uodenim with narration by Erras Croft, due November 12 under the Siren audiobook imprint. The manga side runs later: Nighthawk, Once Again by Fuyuki Izumida arrives in October 2027, and Will You Take a Bath with Me? (Goodnight Routine) by Maki Marukido also lands in October 2027 under the Boys' Love label. Dumbass Zombies!!! An Intermediate-Level Survival Guide for a World Where You Can Die Just Going to Borrow Soy Sauce, from Azuki Arai and Osato, follows in November 2027. All four manga are listed at volume 1. Pre-orders for the audiobook are open at sevenseasaudiobooks.com.","whyItMatters":"The only title with a date inside the next twelve months is the audiobook, so Seven Seas is front-loading its Siren audio line while the print manga slate sits a full year out.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe Misdeeds of an Extremely Arrogant Villain Aristocrat follows Luke Witharia Gilbert, reborn into a fantasy novel as the villain fated for a bad end, who enrolls at Aslan Magic Academy to become the strongest student and dodge that ending. The audiobook is the first English-language release of volume 1.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe three prose descriptions lean on premise rather than credits. Nighthawk, Once Again centers on a retired hitman who has spent eight years away from the job, living in a rundown apartment and burning her money on gambling and gacha games until eviction forces her back to work. Will You Take a Bath with Me? pairs Kazuya, who lets junior colleague Mika stay rent-free in exchange for housework, with the complication that Kazuya hates baths. Dumbass Zombies!!! treats the zombie apocalypse as an errand-running nuisance rather than a fight for survival, following three young women through the daily cleanup.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manga dates cluster in late 2027: two titles in October, one in November.
