Participants in the survey will be asked about their reading habits (such as whether they read manga and light novels in print or digital formats), as well as have their awareness of various recent Seven Seas publications gauged. Recent releases include an anthology volume of the manga Bloom Into You, time-traveling love story Hello World, and a number of isekai-genre light novels and manga, like Planet of the Orcs, I’m the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire!, and Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling. The survey also includes fields for readers to suggest new titles for Seven Seas to publish, including ones from countries other than Japan. These include manga, novels and light novels, and even webcomics.

Though originally known for publishing OEL Manga (an industry term for manga-inspired comics and graphic novels originating in the English language), Seven Seas has branched out into licensing and localizing primarily Asian properties for the North American and overseas English-language markets. Seven Seas currently manages two other imprints (sub-brands for specialized audiences or content): Ghost Ship, an imprint specializing in manga titles with mature content such as World’s End Harem and Destiny Lovers, and Airship, a specialist imprint for light and prose novels. Airship publication include Arifureta: From Commonplace to World’s Strongest, Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, and Neon Genesis Evangelion: ANIMA.
