      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. :)

          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

          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.

                                      Anyone have a LNDB page, or even the JP publisher’s page?

                                            Hmm, that Seven Seas licensed novel hasn't been updated since the 3rd volume in October 2018 (appears to be a novel-novel and not an LN, so not too unusual to be spaced out longer).

                                            Main character is 42? I definitely could use more mature heroes.

                                            The publisher isn't a usual suspect it seems too. Lots of their popular line looks to be BL.
