Until the official word comes out, I will be leaving those topics unlocked, and out of the archive section.

Why did I post here, instead of in there, cause it meant I only have to post once...

Newly added title (Seven Seas):
Though I Am an Inept Villainess: Tale of the Butterfly-Rat Body Swap in the Maiden Court

Newly added titles (Kodansha Books):

Still no Monogatari Off Season, still no Zaregoto. But hey, we have isekai. Maybe Kodansha's using these to fund more NISIOISIN copium.

What I heard is they mentioned in the stream that they have no plans to continue Monogatari. Whether that means no plans 'now', or no plans in the future, no idea...

@korppi Discord has these screenshots posted

Nothing they can confirm is a bit different to "no plans".

@georgemto Well, I didn't watch the stream, heard it mentioned elsewhere but seems they twisted it a bit...

If their discord admin is anything like the person running their twitter they know absolutely nothing outside of what they've officially announced. The old Vertical twitter page used to tease Zaregoto volume 4 as if an announcement was coming any day. I think we all know how that turned out.

I won't be purchasing anything from them again until they show some indication that they'll actually finish the series they're already supposed to be releasing. As it stands, I see no more reason to believe these 4 new series will ever see completion than people felt for Sol Press' series back when they were still somewhat functional.

Newly added titles (Yen On):
Sugar Apple Fairy Tale

Silver Sugar Duchess

@doublemangekyo I still can‘t believe it, FINALLY Sugar Apple Fairy Tale got licensed!!! Though I‘m disappointed that it‘s not by J-Novel Club I will do my best trying to collect the volumes in print.

No idea how late I am on this change.
