      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. =/

        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.

                      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

                            spoiler

                              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

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