Get Past July Quickly with Catchups!
-
Can you believe that 2020 is half over? Time to kick off the second half of the year with new catchups!
We've been translating a couple classic series, and now you can check them out from volume 1! With an anime adaptation that first aired in 2002 and a new season as recently as 2018, Full Metal Panic! is a boy-meets-girl story... about a boy soldier-slash-mech pilot and a regular high school girl who might just have psychic powers. Another series with a classic anime and recent reboot, Sorcerous Stabber Orphen follows the titular Orphen, one of the strongest sorcerers, who just wants to make a quick buck, but somehow keeps finding himself involved in crazy adventures.
Another series with a recent anime, Demon Lord, Retry! is the story of a MMO admin who gets trapped in another world as his MMO character. In trying to find a way back to Japan, he ends up turning the entire world upside down!
For those of you tired with standard action stories, Seriously Seeking Sister! is a oneshot about an ancient vampire... who really wants a little sister to dote on! Then, we have the fan-favorite An Archdemon's Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride - the evil sorcerer Zagan falls for an elf slave and spends his entire fortune to buy her... but now what?! He may be a master of magic, but he's an amateur when it comes to love!
Members can check out over 30 volumes in these series during the month of July!

I'm only reading FMP in physical form - because I can, damn it! - and already read elf bride and orphan but I didn't get to read past the first part or two of seeking sister so I'm glad I'll be able to go back and finish it.
-
Any news on Elf Bride, Vol. 4 of the Manga?
-
@Nakyoruto I hope so soon. I wonder if Hobby Japan's manga division is being less cooperative during this pandemic, or something.
-
Does anyone know the font they used for the ebooks? Many thanks!
-
@SarianAnthem If you are talking about the EPUBs you can buy from here, it doesn't look like they embed any fonts in it, so it should just use the system defaults of your e-reader. If you mean the web reader, it looks like Open Sans, but I'm not 100% sure.
-
@db0ssman for reading prepubs, the web reader has the "change font" button that switches between serif and sans serif fonts, and a font size button for the size.
-
@HarmlessDave Interesting, I didn't even realize you could change the font.
-
Hi readers! Since the month changes on the weekend, just letting you know August catchups will change over on Monday instead! An extra couple days to finish reading July's catchups!
-
To anyone who didn't try Seriously Seeking Sister because of the yuri tag, it's not really an ecchi or yuri romance novel, it's more like a mix of FUNA's Abilities Average and Potion Loli with only a tiny bit of semi-yuri. The MC really is seeking a sister not a lover.
Of course that's going to disappoint those who want a strong yuri element, but to each their own.
-
@HarmlessDave yeah, I remember discussing the book with someone on IRC (yes, I use IRC) and them saying (having not read the book) that they thought it was supposed to be yuri and I didn't remember reading anything I'd actually classify as yuri. There were signs that maybe it would potentially become yuri in the future, but it never got there in the first book, and it sounds like the other two books may never actually get published :(

As the comment a few slots up mentioned, because the 1st of the month falls on a weekend the shift to August catch ups will happen on Monday (today), that being said it is still very early in the United States, business hours have not started yet.
Your patience is appreciated
