Japanese manga and game content localizer Seven Seas Entertainment has announced its license acquisition of Hitoshizuku-P × Yama△ and Tsubata Nozaki’s Hatsune Miku: Bad∞End∞Night, a three-volume gothic mystery manga series featuring Hatsune Miku other Vocaloids. It will release in single volumes, starting with the first book releasing on May 2nd for $13.99 USA / $15.99 CAN, with two more volumes due at a later date. The story was inspired by the popular Hatsune Miku song “Bad ∞ End ∞ Night“, released in 2012.

Hatsune Miku is a young woman seeking to become an actress, but just as it seems her chance has come, everything is thrown upside down when she finds herself hurled into the “world of stage” within a strange mansion. There she meets seven mysterious, and potentially dangerous, characters. Although each comes with their own secrets, they almost all have one goal in common—find the stolen script pages, or be trapped in this false world forever!

The manga’s first English release will also be printed with an oversize trim, perfect for displays. We’ll post sources for the book later when it releases.
