The manga launched in Shogakukan’s Flowers magazine in 2016. Shogakukan will ship the 11th volume on June 10. At the moment, there is no Western distributor for the manga. NHK describes the series as follows:
The Marronnier Kingdom is located in the center of a continent comprised of eight nations. Baribara, leader of the Marronnier Kingdom, has seven sons, each with their own distinct traits.
“Sleepy,” “Benevolent,” “Gets hot easily,” “Gets cold easily,” “Beast tamer,” “Proud swordsman,” “Always hungry.”
They each differ in nature, but their life goal is the same: “One day, I will heroically rescue a beautiful princess!”
It isn’t long before these brothers leave to become ambassadors in the seven neighboring nations. What kind of encounters, trials and destinies await them in these foreign lands?
This is a fantasy romance of love and adventure in a medieval-like other world!
Lastly, The Seven Knights of the Marronnier Kingdom anime will premiere in October 2026.
