Acquisitions Speculation - General

@raitoiro Iirc, all baronh in jp text was deciphered in furigana. Something tells me that doing it like that for english release, especially for e-books, will be it's own circle of hell.

I'm not into yuri but these sound like they could be fun:
Middle-Aged Businessman Makes a Name for Himself in Another World Thanks to Goddess Power! (Kodansha, answer to "Do You Like Your Mom?")
Record of Wortenia WarI enjoyed the Crest of the Stars anime when I watched it long ago, possibly even on VHS.
-
Well I’m pretty stoked for the middle aged businessman and for Crest if Stars. I’ll try to read all the volume ones as they all seem at least pretty interesting but damn it’s getting harder and harder to keep up with all the great light novels being released so it may be a while.
-
"Hm, I keep hearing this 'Wortenia' title. I wonder what it's about. Let me look it up."
Googled descriptions: dark, contains rape, violence, and gore
"Okay, I'll just stay far, far away from that, I suppose."
The Middle-Aged Businessman sounds interesting, and the Vampire Seeking Sister sounds hilarious, so I'm looking forward to those. Side By Side Dreamers seems a little predictable, but I could be wrong, and so far the single part released looks promising. Not sure about Crest Of The Stars; I remember bouncing off the first few minutes of the anime (I forgot if it was Crest or Banner), as in it simply didn't hold my interest at the time. My tastes may have changed since then, though, and it's in a different medium now.

Yep, ZackZeal did specifically warn in Discord that this was a gory title haha.
I should uhh
warn
that anyone that's like
bad with mutilation and gore
might want to be careful
like it's not berserk level but uhh
yeah
ryoma doesn't fuck around lol -
Seeing all these announcements happening during SakuraCon makes me wonder if they were planning of having a panel but had to scrap it for whatever reason, i hope they have a panel next year.
-
For novels, nothing that I really want, but nice to see some variety.
The Sci-Fi Yuri cover kinda attracts me.
I'll try the first part and see but it sounds kinda like my thing.
Also, hope it would get printed like the rest of Hayakawa titles (already pestered my local bookstore to get Hayakawa titles as fast as possible)I am only 23 so wasn't watching anime when Crest and FMP anime came out and haven't watched them yet....actually, didn't know that Crest existed in the first place lol.
So can't get excited over them (even kinda jealous how they got physical run from the get go)I am not Senki guy but the talk that it might be dark or gory kinda interests me so might give it a go
For manga, it's just Discommunication for me~
-
So everything balances out, after a good batch announcements this one contains nothing that interests me.
Congratulations to everybody who got something exciting to read. :) -

They wanted to have a panel but I believe Sakura Con themselves said that only companies that sponsor the con are allowed to have a Panel

@myskaros Let me double check this. Two (or three) completed series, one ongoing, and one that sounds like it's in the same state as Watafuta.
Did Sam say he was picking up Banner of the Stars as well?
