Author's Lesbian AU Webcomic of Her Own Story Gets Licensed by Seven Seas
On Wednesday, October 19, Seven Seas Entertainment announced that, through its team-up with Hiveworks Comics, it has licensed Shilin Huang's Amongst Us. The publisher will release the graphic novel digitally and in paperback with a new cover in July 2023.
The full-color webcomic turned graphic novel is a slice-of-life Yuri "alternative universe" spin-off of the author's fantasy manga, Carciphona, that reimagines its characters in the modern world. In the original series, the dangerous assassin blackbird and the stoic sorceress Veloce are bitter rivals, but here, they are two young musicians in love (though much of the animosity remains in the form of nonstop teasing and bickering). Amongst Us can be enjoyed independently of Carciphona, and no background knowledge of the characters is needed.
The author describes the story:
How do you know when you've found your other half? Is it because she can make you feel all warm and fuzzy with all the hugs, snuggles, and kisses? Or is it because she's on your level in food fights, got your back in third-wheeling your friend, and knows exactly how to bribe you? Whatever it is, these two soulmates know they have already found the one for them.
Amongst Us is a slice-of-life comic about the mundane lives of Veloce and Blackbird—an eccentric couple with strange chemistry, striking personalities, and unhesitating love for each other.
Amongst Us is released as a webcomic on Shilin's website, Tapas, and Webtoon Canvas. Since it began in 2017, it has gained over 5 million views. The author previously published the first volume, Soulmates, in collaboration with Hiveworks Comics in 2020 after a Kickstarter campaign.
YuriMother reviewed the graphic novel, awarding it a perfect 10/10 final score, praising its artwork, characters, and writing.
You can read Amongst Us for free on Webtoon, Tapas, and at amongstuscomic.com, and purchase the original graphic novel in print and ebook formats on Shilin's online shop. And look forward to Seven Seas printing in July 2023.
