Spoilers. The three light novels are:
For manga, I'm looking forward to One Week Friends since the anime did its own thing at the end I think.
-
Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken is actually not bad, I read the WN and I like it.
-
I like how someone mentioned that J-Novel Club's translators and editors often talk to us on the forums, and answer our questions and comments, and if yenpress would do anything like that.
The response: I didn't even know J-Novel Club did that. End response
-
Well, now I wait for the announcement from Sam. Slime and Youjo Senki are not bad, but nothing that makes me really interested. After J-Novel gets Arifureta rights, I have somehow high hopes for new titles.
-
@sparhawk6 All these reincarnation titles... But no I reincarnated as a vending machine. I am disappointed.
-
@Terrence That one's in a bidding war.
-
@Sam-Pinansky I wouldn't have thought the light novel scene would be embroiled in a bidding war. Is it surprisingly competitive to pick up good titles?
-
@Siphonario Maybe I was being sarcastic. Maybe ;)
-
@Sam-Pinansky That's the one that isn't Isekai! Hint solved.
-
I didn't know where to put this, but there's a promo on Bookwalker Japan for input on a future Saga of Tanya the Evil short story based on one of the characters. They're asking you to pick the character it should focus on.

There's also some sort of coin up promo with the released volumes.
And they are asking for opinions on stories you'd like to hear in the future (one suggestion example is "I want to hear more about Tanya's life before the story started").

Yen press is kind of slow. :( I wish J-Novel Club had gotten the rights for Kumo Desu Ga, they're already out to vol 7 in Japan.
