Acquisitions Speculation - General

Seven Seas announced SCP Foundation: Iris of the Mirror World light novel. Same author as Yume Nikki and Echo.
-
I'm gonna be hopefull and bet on the new genre being mecha (since neither Smartphone nor Infinite Dendrogram are true mecha) and one of the 2 series being the sequel to Gargantia, the other could be Knight and Magic since it's both mecha and isekai making it safer.
Well if i listen to my heart i would bet on the new genre being nearSf and the new serie being Shinsekai yori and Humanity has declined but I'm not that much of a fool ^^
Edit: i just remember that we recently get Full metal panic which is a Mecha, but it's still new and since the 2 novel are said to be part of the push, it in fact seem even more likely
Do you like death, war and misery ?
Do you like badass op loli who let nobody got in their way ?
Do you like vengeance story?
If so then then vote for The girl who ate a death god -
@raitoiro I would say Infinite Stratos & Full Metal Panic! are mecha?
-
@terabyte yeah, i totaly forgot FMP i notice just after posting --'
but infinite stratos isn't really mecha, it's more like mechanised underwears -
It might be too much to ask for, but I'd be really happy if the "answer to 'do you love your mom?'" title ends up as The Death Mage Who Doesn't Want a Fourth Time
-
@yumenokage Whoa, be carefull, don't say that title , you will summon @Zing
Joke aside, the mom part doesn’t seem important enough in the serie to truly be a responce, the mom death is what lauch the story and guide it at the begining, but then she is a secondary characters and her and Van don't interact much.

Announcements from the Discord voice-chat panel from Sakuracon 2019:
- Middle-Aged Businessman Makes a Name for Himself in Another World Thanks to Goddess Power! (Kodansha, answer to "Do You Like Your Mom?")
- 2 volumes, complete series
- Record of Wortenia War
- Side By Side Dreamers (yuri, Iori Miyazawa, Hayakawa Shoubo, single book)
- Same author as Otherworld Picnic
- Seriously Seeking Sister! Ultimate Vampire Princess Just Wants Little Sister, Plenty of Service Will Be Provided! (yuri, 1 volume, not sure if will continue)
- Crest of the Stars (license rescue, space opera, closer to YA than LN)
Non-license announcement:
- Both Full Metal Panic and Crest of the Stars/Banner of the Stars will be released in triple-omnibus hardcover print editions, late 2019/early 2020. (MSRP $29.99, A5 size)
- No comment on the short-story volumes yet.
- Ascendance of a Bookworm in print (fall 2019), faster releases than usual due to the anime, Elf Bride (very good sales in Japan, SEA, for JNC), Infinite Dendrogram (fall 2019), Animeta (already up on Amazon) and Marginal Operation (manga, Dec/Jan) also in print.
Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.
- Middle-Aged Businessman Makes a Name for Himself in Another World Thanks to Goddess Power! (Kodansha, answer to "Do You Like Your Mom?")
-
Oh, family isekai is complete with 2 volumes? That's short 😧
-
@myskaros bit disappointed nothing I’m really interested in but it’s good seeing JNC getting some more unique and different titles but on the other side don’t know how much longer I’ll keep my premium member ship if they don’t start getting some newer titles I’m interested in. Last two sets of new licenses have been kind of a let down

Eh, I liked my guess way better.
Will probably try Wortenia Senki... I guess?
So only the "rescued title" left? Is it today too?
-
The VC panel is over, I've updated my post with all the announcements.
-
@novurdim Myskaros edited his comment for the last licenses. The rescue is Crest of the Stars.
-
I'll pick up only the first 2 titles: Family Isekai and Wortenia. Not interested in the other 3. I guess that means I won't be as busy as I thought reading new weekly parts (lol).

He said technically cancelled but self-contained and not ending on a cliffhanger like Genius did.

I swear I'm gonna smack Sam this time around if it's not true.
"Me a Genius" left a bad feeling with that cliffhanger, and now Sam earlier in virtual panel confirmed the author got a (real - if we want to call it like that?) job and there's basically no chance he'll ever publish V4. (Should I pray he loses his job and goes back to LNs? 😅)
-
Thank you for Crest of the Stars! That was my favorite license, but I'll give all the LNs a shot because one may surprise me. As for the manga, I'm interested in Marginal Operation since military/war stories are my jam and Discommunication seems refreshingly different.
-
Awesome! Crest of the Stars and FMP in print, I love that! I also like the Marginal Operation manga so cool to hear it getting a print release as well. I tried the Wortenia Senki manga but I wasn't feeling it. I like the art style for Around 40 Eigyou-man, Isekai ni Tatsu!: Megami Power de Jinsei Nidome no Nariagari, it sounds super cute.
edit: Hm, I wonder if Marginal Operation is getting an anime, that would be neat.
-
The Middle age man look interesting, i hope it really doesn’t end on a clinfhanger tho.
I'm little sad that the rescue title isn't Gosick but Crest of the Stars does look interesting, save for the the art which look really bad.The other 3 doesn't look really interesting, yuri is kind of boring when it doesn’t come with canibalist space monster or the truth on the univer and Gacha game ^^
and Wortenia Seki look kinda blend.It's great that Marginal operation, is going to be print tho, the manga annoucement seem really good that time.
-
For the lns, looks like I’m only interested in the Crest of the Stars series from this batch of announcements. FMP hardcover omnibuses is awesome news, along with the other print editions we knew about from amazon.
Looks like the manga were the big winners for me this time around. Discommunication in particular seemed pretty intriguing from the first chapter they’ve uploaded, and I’m looking forward to reading Undead and Paladin later.
-
I'm pretty happy with this slate.
Obviously happy the "Around 40" family novel got picked up since that was a request.
I wanted more space opera for a bit and Crest of the Stars stood out (I actually like the art, and it's only cover art; the book doesn't have any actual in book inserts).
I think I'll enjoy Wortenia Senki too.
The two Yuri I'll give a chance. I'm not a huge Vampire fan, but that's more the Shoujo vampire tropes that I'm not big into. Comedy vampire stuff can be fun. The other Yuri has a really neat looking cover, but I need to try reading it first.
JNC said that military manga can be read on it's own (I think it was implied as a unique experience); I'm curious what that means. Is it really different than the LN?
That weird Buddhist romance manga I'm definitely going to look into buying. =P
