            So cool to see so much coming out! I’ve been trying to read at least the first volume of most series, but I think that may not last much longer.

                  Dive is confirmed to be the Manga.

                    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...

                        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).

                        JNC LN Ranking:
                        1st - Rokujouma
                        2nd - Realist Hero
                        3rd - Bookworm

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

                                  Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

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