      Interesting they don’t even mention Beast Investigator is based on a LN. They almost fooled me into thinking it was a manga original.

        Thank you for posting these announcements here. I don't use Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook.

          The last announcement was kind of underwhelming for me, just because I know nothing about Mushuko Tensei, and I'd rather read the novels first / only (if the spin-off is confirmed content not in the books, and when exactly it's safe to read it continuity wise, I'll prep to add it to the to be read pile once I get there in the novels).

          The last announcement was "Roxy Gets Serious" btw, Mushuko Tensei manga spinoff.

          Edit: "Sexy" books inbound tomorrow (the promised Ghost ship label?).

            What do you mean by "Ghost Ship label"? I am not sure what the term means in this context.

              @malloc "Ghost Ship" is their shrink-wrap label, where they've put titles like To-Love-Ru and World's End Harem that have nudity and sex in them. I... don't know why Terrence used it in the context that he did.

              Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

                Oh, I'm guessing Ghost Ship label stuff is tomorrow since they teased "sexy" licenses tomorrow for Twitter announcements. They promised some more Ghost Ship label titles for this before the event.

                I wonder if they'll keep it to only Ghost Ship label stuff tomorrow, and then maybe the final day will be a light novel barrage? Can always hope. 🤞

                  @terrence The tweet you linked says there will be light novels tomorrow. ;p I'm guessing one of them might go under the Ghost Ship label.

                  edit, Reading it more carefully myself, it doesn't necessarily promise multiple lns... Guess we'll see.

                    Whoops, literally just reread it, yup.

                    " If you’re into manga, light novels, or SEXY content, don’t miss tomorrow’s licenses"

                    My brain is working as well as usual. xD

                      @terrence I want Light Novels. I feel like the amount of content I get for manga sucks compared to Light Novels. Length wise at least plus manga are usually less detailed as well.

                        @terrence @myskaros Ok so ghost ship implying stuff the recipient might want to hide the fact they ordered it. Never thought about that possibility.

                          Considering the Ghost Ship thing, might be High School DXD or Shinmai Maou no Testament. Could also be Magika no Kenshi, I guess.

                              As mentioned in one of the locked request topics, Skeleton Knight got licensed by Seven Seas. =]

                              Eve x Eve, an older age Yuri manga, was the other license for today.

                                And the next one is another random yuri. This event is really disappointing so far.

                                  Count me as disappointed too. These licenses just sound so... safe, expected maybe?

                                  Like, I get that isekai sells and they have an established audience for yuri, but maaaaaan.
                                  I was hoping they'd announce the source novels for some of their manga (Shinmai Maou or Vanadis). I'd definitely buy the Vanadis novels.

                                    I was thinking of starting to read again the fan translation properly from scratch if nobody was going to license it soon. Guess I'll just wait for SSE to come out with it then. It will be quite a long while until volume 1, but I've got a lot of other things to read so I'll just wait.

                                      @terabyte It might be sooner than you think, Seven Seas has been releasing some of their light novels digitally months before the physical copy is released. Still probably be a few months though

                                            So, they kept me waiting for the last announcement.
                                            I love Kakukaku Shikajika and I cried reading it (definitely buying it)
                                            Also, it's one of the stuff I asked for in the surveys.
