Seven Seas Licenses A Good Day Starts with Cats and Books Light Novel (Airship Imprint)

(May 7, 2025) — Seven Seas Entertainment is pleased to announce the license acquisition of the light novel A Good Day Starts with Cats and Books by Satori Satori and Wamizu. A cozy bookstore in the corner of Shinjuku is the purrfect escape for those looking for a new story and some furry friends to read with.

Welcome to Frère, a picture-purrfect share bookstore tucked away in a cozy corner of Shinjuku, complete with its very own adorable cat mascots! In a shared bookstore, each shelf is curated by individual "shelf owners," each contributing their own books and personal touch to the space. Inside, you'll meet as many fascinating and unique people as there are books: a hairstylist struggling to keep up with the latest trends, a student trying to make ends meet, a bartender eager to understand people through literature, and other colorful patrons seeking the perfect read. Peek into their lives and watch their relationships blossom as they connect over their shared love of books and the stories that bring them together.

A Good Day Starts with Cats and Books (light novel) will be printed for the first time in the English language in February 2026 for $15.99 USA / $20.99 CAN in a single-volume edition as part of Seven Seas' Airship imprint. An ebook edition will also be available on digital platforms.
