      @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?
                Day 1

                • yuri manga
                • manga similar to two other series they publish
                • spin-off of a licensed series

                Day 2

                • yuri anthology
                • Isekai LN/manga number 6874

                How much you guys wanna bet tommorow's announcements will have monster girls?

                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

                      @eternal-wanderer Oh makes sense. I'm in no hurry though, with the reading list I have I'm good for years lol

                          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.

                              Well that event was very underwhelming. Only one i'm remotely interested in is the Mushoku Tensei Roxy spin off that i had no idea existed.

                              Oh well... maybe next time there will be something a little more interesting...

                                Skeleton might be interesting, but yeah, not much there.

                                Everytime announcements come, I wish for Date a Live, DXD, or Rakudai Kishi, and every time I'm disappointed. :)

                                  Pretty much only Skeleton Knight catches my eye. I guess Bakarina too, but I’m more interested in the Light Novel for that.

                                      Considering that both the Bakarina novels and manga have been licensed I wonder if we are in for an anime announcement soon.

                                        That would be glorious.

                                          What does one have to do to get Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry licensed and translated to English? I mean it's so frustrating, this is one of the best LNs out there with an amazing plot (even Anime was awesome) but it's getting ignored by all

                                          Books are the best companion a person can have

                                            Very disappointing licenses for me - how are they even calling this a "manga / light novels event" when with 9 licenses we only got 1 LN...

                                            Beside that, I do have to wonder how many people ask in their surveys for this - respecting everyone's tastes, but still wondering since I'm sure there are series way, way, way more requested. After jobless reincarnation I had high hopes for this one, but maybe they were too high.

                                            @smiley_101 maybe they are asking too much for the license? I'm pretty sure they know its a requested series or atleast have a idea
