Seven Seas Entertainment announced on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, the license of the manga Nighthawk, Once Again by Fuyuki Izumida for publication in English. The protagonist is the legendary hitman known as Nighthawk — but eight years after retiring, she is unrecognizable: living in a run-down apartment, spending what is left on gambling and gacha games, far from the feared figure she once was.
The premise revolves around that forced comeback: with eviction on the horizon and almost no money left, the former hitman must return to the field. The publisher describes the character as someone who traded the shadows for a routine of failure — a NEET who drinks and smokes her days away — and poses the series' central question: has retirement made her useless, or can she still be the deadly killer of legend?
Volume 1 will be printed for the first time in English in October 2027, priced at $13.99 in the United States and $18.99 in Canada, in single-volume editions, with ebook editions also available on digital platforms. The announcement is part of Seven Seas' Wednesday licensing batch, which also included other titles, and reinforces the publisher's bet on manga with unlikely protagonists and sharp humor alongside the action.
