      Just giving this a little bump. I don't think anything major happens today light novel wise besides show floor presence for some (I think Vertical posted that they arrived).

      Seven Seas will be announcing one light novel license today on their social media pages. Don't know when though.

      Edit: Seven Seas announced Restaurant to Another World.

      Hoping for more fun stuff today. =)

          Oh wow, more audio books?

          Are they releasing any other Monogatari audio books, or just Neko? Kind of curious that they did Kizu, then nothing Monogatari related afaik, and now Neko.

          Thanks for the update. =)

          Edit: Should I assume RIP to Kubikiri Cycle? Or is there still hope you think? T_T

            @terrence They announced the audiobooks of Nekomonogatari at AX, I believe. I've heard the Kizu sales weren't good, though, so I wouldn't expect too many more audio books unless they start selling well.

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

              As @myskaros said, it was announced back in AX and Audio books are only meant as celebratory release of first book of each season.

              Well, from previous Vertical statements, I guess they haven't license it yet...but they are still considering the series, especially with the huge pressure on social media to release (it almost reached meme status)

              New license from Viz
              Automatic Eve, a new Japanese steampunk novel debuts from Haikasoru in June 2019.

                Also, NisiOisiN remains their biggest seller, so I expect more from him, and with Vofan popularity, I like to believe that we will see Forgetful detective series soon.

                  Yen Press said to watch their Instagram for announcements. Probably no Livestream. =(

                  Edit: Someone is Streaming. =D

                    So, I'll try to grab all the announcements and info (unless someone is already on it). Some really fun announcements at Yen's event.

                    (Work in progress)
                    Announcements:

                    Tomozaki-Kun!
                    alt text

                    Fremd Torturchan (Torture Princess)
                    alt text

                    TUEEEE (the overpowered but cautious hero one)
                    alt text

                    (The one where the guy becomes a demon-king?)
                    alt text

                    Arthur and Merlin something something
                    alt text

                    Wolf Children Novelization.

                          Nope. Just saw the posts on Twitter.

                          Maybe next year though. It's only a stone's throw away from me (Anime Boston would be super close though).

                                    The Organization of Antisocial Geniuses posted Yen's release on the titles (the synopses and stuff for the press).

                                      This one was on my Bookwalker Wishlist. Always glad to take more stuff off of that (you can only have up to 1000, and it's nice to see wishlisted stuff coming stateside!). =)

                                      https://bookwalker.jp/de2d36f948-2782-4f4b-ae42-d77d9ef809cb/?acode=WpfPW3yk

                                      Tomozaki-Kun was also on the wishlist.

                                      And I bought V1 of Fremd Torturchan (I might check that out a bit tonight or tomorrow to prep for a potential Anime NYC focused podcast without having to read a synopsis).

                                      Edit: TUEEE was also on my wishlist. It was kind of impossible to ignore, it got a lot of sales promotion on there.

                                      https://bookwalker.jp/debe23a431-21ac-4760-924d-208f3abb8c3d/?acode=WpfPW3yk

                                      The Arthur one was nowhere on my radar. I guess it only has one volume out so far, volume 2 releasing November 20th in Japan.

                                      (Adding the Bookwalker links so I can read the previews easily too if possible).

                                          Well, they might be testing the water.
                                          So far, all Fujimi titles ain't titles with more than 10 volumes released, after all.
                                          (Either for Seven Seas or YP)

                                            Yeah, to bail out when a completely unknown and unmarketed title flops hard. Oh well, maybe next time they'll at least mention that it's from the same author+illustrator from index.
