Acquisitions Speculation - General
-
@hyperion Yeah it’s a great start, still my favorite and I’ve read it twice and plan to read it again soon. It’s very much a mystery so you won’t like it if you don’t like mysteries and it’s also very much a Japanese mystery in that it’s pretty slow-paced. What’s cool is you know who did it from the start but you don’t know the how and it’s a book that plays fair with the answers even though I certainly didn’t predict the ending.

@the-green-death
Sounds good, I'll give it a read. Thanks for the input. -
So... Did the Yen PR team mess up in announcing that Higashino work on Twitter too early or was there a typo in the announcement or something? Tweet is supposedly gone without a trace now.
Early April Fool's joke gone wrong? xD
...

It still is listed on their site, so...

Looks like Vertical will be announcing some novels soon.

Maybe someone will finally pick up Kino's Journey, since they have the manga and stuff.
-
It's probably some more Nisio Isin stuff.
-
I'm a big fan of his work so hopefully we get some cool stuff, I'd love to see his crossover series get licensed for english speakers.

I just want them to finish Zaregoto...

The movie was a real tear jerker; I did enjoy it and felt very positive after watching.

-
That's all for Vertical. Wow, I want I most of this...
-
@hyperion dissapointed
-
@theredjet
What were u expecting? -
^ I expected almost nothing, and got Zaregoto 3. So I'm happy.
I know nothing about Seraph, but I guess that's a sequel series? I... Shouldn't say I'll check it out since I got enough on my plate.
So when is AX? I'm guessing we won't get much announced before then from any pubs (someone said Seven Seas was teasing something a bit ago though on social media? They are doing their giveaway that they promised as well now).
-
@terrence Sakuracon is next month, JNC will be there.

They mentioned both the giveaway and the fact that they will announce stuff on March, the 1st when they explained more about survey and stuff.
Well, they also said they usually announce new stuff every 2-3 months so yeah~ -
@myskaros
We will finally know what the 5th and 4th titles are? -
@bloodygaikotsu I will post on Discord as soon as I find out. Unless the Code Geass movie is showing at the same time, then... I might have to make a tough decision :X
-
@myskaros I'm worried about the same thing. We should link our senses and separate. I typically post via reddit from panels so it isn't discord.
-
2 new hints just went up on twitter. 3 new titles imminent.
Over the next 3 days, we'll be announcing 3 new light novels.
Here are some hints (one recycled):
"It sure isn't stocks!"
"The free shipping is finally worth it."
"For all the book lovers out there."Stay tuned!
I'd say the 3rd is Ascendance of a Bookworm.
-
Well, if the third isn't a Bookworm then Sam is quite a fabulous troll.
