      If the ghost one is actually scary / creepy, let me know.

      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.

          http://www.sevenseasentertainment.com/digital/

          "Early" still takes months. =/

          2019/02/07 Classroom of the Elite (Light Novel) Vol. 1
          2019/03/07 Division Maneuver (Light Novel) Vol. 1

          2019/04/11 Didn’t I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?! (Light Novel) Vol. 6

          You're probably looking at May for Sword Reincarnation. Of course, I'm just guessing.

            @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 have hundreds of titles (manga & novels) I wanna see licensed (put together in .txt files or S notes documents)

              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

                  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 "

                        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.

                              @sam-dukes I assume each book is like 25-30 ish WN chapters as it roughly lines up with what would be a climax for each book

                                I just hope the book is heavily edited.

                                I read the WN now and then and holy crap is there a lot of meandering croft in there. Not even Slice of Life, just meandering and wallowing and not /anything/, interspersed by cool action and slice of life.

                                  Arifureta again. It's possible they are mocking us.

                                    @novurdim Yesterday I thought "At least there is no more Arifurueta for them to license" but I was wrong... I swear they are just trolling us at this point

                                      Is there any more Arifureta they could license? A doujinishi perhaps? An anthology with different mangaka? =P

                                          @terrence The Drama CD hasn't been licensed yet, if they want to go there.

                                          Quof got a break.
                                          WHAT'S THE STORY WITH THAT FREAKING BLACK DRAGON?!

                                            speaking of anthologies I wouldn't mind if they licensed the YagaKimi anthology that came out recently
