      @LegitPancake The July preorders for Yen definitely have the manga, not the light novel. I think Yen just screwed it up. That's not to say the LN isn't coming later in the year, but... not in July.

            I'm very exited for today's licensing announcement. I can't wait (but why must it be in the middle of the night...)!!!

              @Liber-Monstrorum I don't get excited for announcements anymore. More often than not I end up disappointed.
              Go in with no expectations and it can only go up from there.
              Nothing interesting gets announced, then nothing has changed.

                @Timmaaah Really? Huh, interesting, cause I'm the exact opposite. I go in with no expectations and always find something that perks my interest.
                Maybe I'm just easily satisfied,

                @Liber-Monstrorum yeah I hate I probably won't be able to watch the announcements live this time, I love hearing Sam describing each new series

                “There’s always a story. It’s all stories, really. The sun coming up every day is a story. Everything’s got a story in it. Change the story, change the world.” ― Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky

                  @Lily-Garden Yeah, I'm probably on the side of harder to please. Since they announced Seirei Gensouki and LDM, the only times I was excited to hear that they got were Wortenia, Altina and Sponger Life.
                  There have been a number of other titles I have tried here and there, and I still read them when I have nothing else to read, but I've found those titles haven't been much more filler titles to read when I've caught up to everything else.

                  But everyone likes different things, and if people get something that they like from the announcement, then I'm happy for them.

                            The English publisher Vertical has been merged into Kodansha and rebranded as Kodansha Books.

                            I've replaced the [Ver] tag with [Kod] on the list.

                                  I don't think they licensed the LN sadly.

                                    Oh my bad, there was "and" and in there and I read it that they licensed both, not that the LN was a join publication between two authors.

                                        That one's seinen though. I'm surprised they licensed something outside their usual otome stuff, had I seen this title on YP or SS lineup there'd be no question-marks on top of my head, but, here?

                                        It's a good title though, if the manga adaptation is anything to go by...
