Seven Seas Entertainment has announced the license acquisition of the Mature-rated Boys’ Love manhwa series Melting Point by Pibi. Two former rivals reunite unexpectedly after a decade in this steamy Boys’ Love comic. Will they find common ground or will their relationship always be on thin ice? The hit webcomic finally makes its way to English print!

In his past, Eunsan spent his days playing competitive ice hockey and going head to head with his rival and one of the best players out there, Ryu Ian. But twelve years later, Eunsan has hung up his skates and now works in sports marketing instead, away from the competition and away from Ian. 

Or so he thought. Suddenly, an opportunity appears where Eunsan must reunite with Ian. Determined to keep this reunion brief, Eunsan tries to keep things strictly business—until Ian presents him with an offer he truly cannot refuse. 

With the two men brought back together, will the fire between them reignite and erupt into something bigger? Or will old feelings lead to old wounds that can’t be healed?
