@tremorc
Not really excited about being right, tbh lol
I know it's definitely highly requested but tbh, I tried the manga but couldn't find anything to captivate me.So far, I got nothing from last group of licenses.
Vertical ain't planning to announce anything?
It would be nice, we get along well, after all lol. -
@bloodygaikotsu we still have two more days of licensing announcements to look forward to. Maybe they will run out of Isekai series to announce so they actually have to announce something else(they won't but we can hope)

@dargonsunited
I have a few Isekais I may get behind but sword ain't one of them. -

A man can dream. A very far and distant dream.
-
Nothing for me so far. Congrats to those who've been wanting and waiting for Sword Reincarnation though. On a side note, is this our first Micro Magazine license?
-
Been nothing of interest for me either. The good news it gives me more of a chance to get through my blacklog without adding to it.
-
I'm actually glad to see the "Reincarnated as a Sword" light novel got picked up by someone. The manga has been really good so hopefully the LN will be just as good if not better. Would have loved for JNC to have picked up this title but unfortunately it didn't happen.

@hyperion
No, Slime came first. -
@bloodygaikotsu Oh yeah. I forgot about that one.
-
The only interesting thing for me so far is Reincarnated as a Sword. I was hoping JNC would pick it up and we could have gotten bonus short stories (maybe?) too. Still better than nothing at least.
-
Did they say whether they were doing Digital as well like some of the others?
-
@dtta The announcements themselves should say, and I believe they are doing digital-first, yes.

2nd announcement is this manga:
Very happy about Demon's Mama manga. And I know a lot of folks who will be ecstatic about Sword Reincarnation (I'll read that too). =)
-
Well, unlike the JNC's and YP's recent gigs, this time I actually have a feeling that at least one thematically different novel should be announced. SS usually try to somewhat balance out their announcements and we do have two more days.
-
The fact that their recent survey asked for licenses in so many different genres, both LN and Manga, is very encouraging for the future.
They really are positioning themselves to be one of the most balanced and fan friendly LN + manga licensors by listening to fans.

Reincarnated as a Sword is digital-first; Train Your Devil and Our Wonderful Days are print and digital but no early release for the digital; and the music one doesn't mention digital like the others do, so it's presumably print-only.
-
Seven Seas really is pretty balanced. I mean hell, they're licensing from 17 publishers. (Including J-NC)

@aruseus493 oh wow, quite a few in there I'd want to read for sure, but they're all old. From a previous Curious Cat answer, LN series with an older anime look like a nope. :(
