I'm Happy 86 finally got licensed but it's Yen Press huh. Hopefully they publishes it a tolerable pace.

Also Hooray for Classroom of the Elite & Mushoku Tensei !

@santi-brathana The words Yen Press and tolerable pace can't stay in the same post. It's just not possible...

@terabyte
I think what @santi-Brathana meant was that 86 won't be given the No Game No Life delay treatment.

All YP LN release are 1 book per 4 months which is a steady pace and since 86 has only 4 volumes out in Japan they would be caught up in about 2 years from now given the pace it releases in Japan (5 months between volumes).

Apparently Yen Press was livestreaming yesterday... On Facebook... But they didn't announce anything on their Twitter or Website beforehand that I know of.

=(

Oh well, we still got the information from others more aware.

@myskaros I believe at least two of those YP titles got amines this summer (Happy Sugar Life and Penguin Highway). Are you going to lock the suggestion thread titles that YP picked up?

@paul-nebeling I'm not a forum mod.

Paul Nebeling

@myskaros ok. Just a thought.

Rahul Balaggan

@paul-nebeling I thought i locked all the now offically licensed suggestion topics, what is left that I missed?

Paul Nebeling

@rahul-balaggan It was more of a genetic question on my part.

I thought it might be helpful so I'm putting together a list of light novel and novel licence announcements from AX2018 on Goodreads - it should be useful if you've started reading the pre-pubs and want to keep a log of your progress there!

Edit: I think I've added them all now? Please do let me know if I've missed anything (or add the books to the list yourself)!

@terrence so yen Press’ release of 86? What exactly does he say?

DoubleMangekyo

@terrence ...? Yen announced 86 back during AX. First volume pre-order has been available for a while now.

Terrence

I knew, but that was my question a long while back, just felt like sharing that I got it answered today (popped up on the Twitter feed). x)

@legitpancake said in Anime Expo: Times and Announcements:

He said that he couldn't answer my question when I asked it originally as it hadn't been announced, but he can confirm now that 86 is coming by Yen Press to America, and to please wait for it / look forward to it.

I don't want spoilers, but they did answer a few other questions by other users that may be more enlightening if you can read Japanese here.

Edit: Looking at them quickly, a lot of them are plot specific, so yeah, if you're up to date with 86, those might be more interesting to you.
