      "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

        Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

          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?

                    Yes, that's included too.

                        Crest of the Stars is a nice surprise,
                        I still have 3 old books on shelf.

                                  @kino this one I am really intrested on, a laid back zombie apocalypse comedy sounds really fun

                                    I've really enjoyed Killing Slimes for 300 Years so I'm looking forward to this.
