      So with the new newsletter we have the additional hint that one series is suited for Halloween. I hope that means horror/mystery, but maybe Sam and Aimee are just trolling and its about someone getting reincarnated as a pumpkin.

      So do we think we'll get this title announced by Halloween? Running out of time. =[

        Word is it's still working its way through various sets of lawyers, so I'd guess it might not be Halloween. Though I suppose there's still a chance if it happens to get through all of a sudden on Monday or Tuesday JST.

            Google Doc found on this topic.

              I'm now worried about how long its been taking. I mean Outbreak Company was the first of the group and its almost to ebook publishing now.
              Unless the bossman is just holding off on releasing them till we hit a lull.

                As of yesterday they were still going through the final legal paperwork.

                  These things take time. I'm not too worried.

                      Huh. Not really my sort of book, but that's okay. Good to have a broad variety for everyone, I got 3 this batch. Outbreak is 'YES!', New Life is 'Very Good' and Demon is 'Enjoyable'. Good enough. :)

                        More new titles this month. From a Curiosity Cat question to JNC (and reposted on Twitter):

                        I'm in love with light novels. Any ideas when you will announce more new titles? — Definitely a few this month.

                          @terrence Arifureta Zero is already the first. I’m definitely ready for some new content.
                          Also hoping for For My Daughter V5 this week, and maybe Paladin.

                            Those aren't new, though.

                            I'm hoping one or two from Overlap like Lazy Dungeon Master. And maybe if we're REALLY LUCKY a non-Yen Kadokawa property, but that's a long hope.

                              Will there be new license announcements soon? — Yes! I have 5 series in various stages of readiness.

                                One of them is from Overlap.

                                  Gotta be this one!

                                  (I'm not serious, though I wouldn't mind a "Muscle head Aniki" story). xP

                                  World Teacher is a possibility maybe? They have a few interesting looking series in the novel section (I don't know which of the "Immortal Adventurer" / "Skeleton knight" books are good though).

                                    If one of them is an Overlap title, I'll guess Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha

                                      This is the other skeleton knight one. They're both Overlap. =P

                                          This was from Curiosity Cat.

                                          How many more licences do you have that you have yet to announce? And when are you going to announce them? — More than a couple? Less than a handful?

                                          Also, I believe Sam said we may be getting another license announcement before the end of the month. Emphasis on "maybe" in response to the direct question, because we're pretty late in the month now. xD

                                            With pretty much many series catch up I hope the newer one would be good. I still hope they license Seiken Tsukai no World Break so that I can get weekly dose of Shizuno.
