There does not seem to be that many titles of interests for me this time around (although this works out for me since that means I can check out others titles I have been meaning to read).
God Sleeps in Seafoam by Nora Yasuda with illustrations by Arutera
I had been getting a bit bored with reading fantasy stories with settings that seem to bleed in together, so when the premise to this describes a world that revolves around spirits my interest was pique. This and the premise of the story being simple yet good enough to click with me I am going to give this a try.
Genius in the Library: This Bookish Rookie Will Save the Day! by Misa Aoi with illustrations by Yoh Hihara
This has me the most interested out of the releases. I would like to read a story starring a book worm and the fact she has to work towards her goal of reading in peace has me hooked. The premise reminds me of Ascendance of a Bookworm.
A Young Maiden’s Growing Pains: I Reincarnated and All I Got Was This 100X Stat Buff! by Yuno Yozakura with illustrations by Nimoshi
I was going to skip this given that premise seems very similar to past stories I have already read, but the idea of the protagonist being forced to self-improve herself got me interested.
