Good Things Come To Those Who Wait, I guess not~?
But I did call it, they licensed a BL -
It's somewhat funny, sad and weird that I have hundreds of titles (manga & novels) I wanna see licensed (put together in .txt files or S notes documents) yet none of the last 20+ announcements managed to hit even one.
-
@bloodygaikotsu I feel for you, when JNC was literally 1 month old I started begging for a food related novel, took over 2 years but I finally got Cooling with Wild Game.
It might take longer then 2 years but hopefully some day you will be able to starting ticking off those Novels you want.

@rahul-balaggan
With 8 outta 18 of titles in 1st page of licenses suggestions are of my liking, I thought my tastes ain't so outta there as I initially thought...but I was duped lolActually, the only company that hits my strike spot every time is Vertical (but they don't have that many slots).
I never was disappointed in Vertical license (but disappointed they do not release enough) -
The thing that baffles me about the last announcement by Seven Seas is they said in a post that it has been something anticipated by people for 10 years and largely requested. I've never even heard of the series. Mind you I don't read BL so guess that would be why, but seriously? lol

@BloodyGaikotsu Ah okay thanks for the heads up. Kind of funny how that other guy said it in the same way I did.
-
BL not for me. I guess I'm happy for those that want it though, but yeah...
I actually really liked half of day 1's licenses, but these did nothing for me (I'm happy for Arifureta fans too). If the ghost one is actually scary / creepy, let me know.
I'm hoping the last day is where they're saving their light novel announcements.

I don't think it will be creepy, it seems like emotional, world is beautiful, value people near you type of stories.
That's my impression from the synopsis and the cover. -
They said most of these will release early, but then some like the Sword Dad series would not get a physical copy until August this year which is quite a while for just 1 volume. Does anyone happen to know how long they generally take for digital releases..or if they even do digital

They do digital. They have a whole page dedicated to early digital.

@Terrence Thats really disappointing..ah well. I've read the WN so I'd have to wait either way to get to a point where the content is new anyhow.

I was curious about the actual number so I just combined 2 lists of mine and got 409 (didn't dare to add the rest...)
130 Manga
279 Novels -
I always have my Bookwalker wishlist up to 1000 titles. xC
-
@terrence
Well, if we are competing, I can add my amazon.co.jp and Bookwalker wishlist, and the rest of my documents lol
But I am too lazy for that. lol
I thought it was like 200-250 titles...but to find the list might have reached 1k (that was a surprise) -
Can someone help me with this license a bit. I'd like to request it because it seems to be Yuri comedy, but I just don't know what the title even is in English.
" 将来的に死んでくれ "

@terrence
It's fan-translated with romaji title, Shouraiteki ni Shindekure. -
But, weellll, if you are looking for title translation, Google Translate ain't pulling your leg lol
Shouraiteki (Shourai = Future, teki is to turn noun into adjectives)
Shindekure (Shinde = die, kure = informal please)So, yeah, It's something along the lines of "Please die in the future" lol (but I am not the best to ask around about JP anyway)

I have to wait until around vol 3-ish to get to new content for me.
-
@drone205 Yeah I'm up to chapter 303 in the WN, whichever book that is for Sword Dad.
