Demon King Daimaou
Yeah, I'll definitely read the ones I missed so far with this.
-
@terabyte maybe it's also because both Yume Nikki and Arifureta Zero have only one complete volume.
Anyway, I am already up to date with these series so I can catch a breath this month. -
There was a sizable gap between Arifureta Zero v1 finishing and v2 starting, so giving it a catchup to facilitate interest in v2 seems beneficial.

It's 6 days into December (here in Southeast Asia), so we're due for December catch up any time now. Any guesses what titles will be up?
-
@cosm1cfall I would maybe guess For My Daughter and Genius.

If so, this would be a great chance for me to pick up FMD again. I bought & read the first 3 volume last year and stopped there. Mildly disgusted. Wasn't liking how the story developed back then but I guess I could have another go at it now. Dunno what changed but after consuming similar manga this year I guess my stance on the whole situation have... changed a bit hahaha
That said, it's already Dec 11th T.T Is it possible there's no catch up this month?

Sam has been dealing with an international move for the better part of a month, so it's possible the current titles will stay on catch-up through the new year, otherwise we might hear something soon.

@sinnoaria that’s fair. We had 2 week free trial for anyone to use, and 25% off premium credits, which will probably help those who fell behind catch up. Not to mention the numerous new novels and manga coming this month and last.
-
Tbh, some of the titles are long enough that someone like me, who averages 50+ work hours a week, cannot read both catchup series without giving up on my other hobbies or quiting my volunteer work (not included in time estimate).
So of catchups turned into 3 titles every other month I would be thrilled. Even if other weren't. I have already dropped 4 series from prepub and have added them to my purchase list for the occasional weekend without overtime and other stuff.
Adulting- the ultimate time management sim. -
So are there any news about catch up titles?

Nope 😕
Considering it's already January 23 I guess we can only wait for February catchup at this point...
-
I hope so. I wouldn't mind if we get new titles every two or three months, but I'm starting to fear we won't get catch up series anymore.
-
I don't think you have to fear the above. Sam said something to the effect that he knows he's late on catch-up (post from 10 days ago).
Yes I am being tardy on this and catchups but my backup of work that must be done is actually getting smaller now!

I hope the government shutdown ends soon for Sam's personal sake too. T_T

Thanks for the info! I don't follow Twitter so I often miss these updates.

First post updated with the 7 new series on catch up for February - March 2019:
- Ao Oni ► Complete series (5 volumes).
- Bluesteel Blasphemer ► Complete series (4 volumes).
- Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest ► Volume 9 translation starting soon.
- How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord ► Volume 7 currently being translated. (Last part remaining with volume 8 translation starting soon.)
- If It’s for My Daughter, I’d Even Defeat a Demon Lord ► Final volume 8 coming out 25 February 2019.
- Outbreak Company ► Volume 8 currently being translated.
- The Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar ► Volume 6 currently being translated.
===
I'm already caught up with all 5 (incomplete) series. And I'm not interested in the 2 complete series. Maybe I'll give Bluesteel Blasphemer a try if I find some time; but not sure.
-
I already read everything except Bluesteel Blasphemer, it's only 4 volumes so it shouldn't be a problem to give it a try.
-
I've only read (all of) Daughter, so this is a good catch-up catch-up for me.
- Ao Oni - horror novels aren't my cup of tea, but I have read older Stephen King and some Clive Barker.
- Part 1 of Bluesteel Blasphemer didn't hook me into buying it, but as a "rental" I'm interested in reading more.
- I've been waiting for an Arifureta catch-up since I joined JNC last September
- The Demon Lord anime was fun.
- I think my otaku level is far too low to appreciate Outbreak, but I did enjoy the anime.
- There's no way I'd blind-buy Rangarok after disliking the anime, but on catch up I can give it a second chance.
-
I would recommend reading Ao Oni if you have the chance.
Personally I will be trying out Ragnarok, I had read that is a lot better than it's anime adaptation
