Seven Seas Entertainment is excited to announce, through its Airship light novel imprint, the license acquisition of the light novel series I'm the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire! by Yomu Mishima and Nadare Takamine, a hilarious sci-fi isekai about a guy who just can't manage to be the villain he wants to be, from the author of Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs.
In his last life, Liam lived as a moral, responsible person…but died deep in debt and betrayed by his wife. Reborn into the ruling family of a vast interstellar empire, Liam knows that life is divided into the downtrodden and the ones who do the stomping, so this time he's going to take what he wants and live for himself. But somehow, things refuse to work out that way. Despite doing his best to become a tyrant, Liam's decisions lead to nothing but peace and prosperity for the empire under his rule, and he just gets more and more popular!
Seven Seas will publish the series I'm the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire! (Light Novel) for the first time in North America in print and (early) on digital platforms in single volume editions.
