      @eternal-wanderer said in New Acquisitions Speculation General [9 NEW AQUISITIONS ANNOUNCED (5 MANGA, 4 LNs) 1 LN Unconfirmed!]:

      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.

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

                                        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.

                                          This looks interesting to me as a 40-something dude Who used to play D&D.

                                          I feel Seven Seas has been putting out a lot of great stuff. They may actually have the highest LN hit ratio for me. I follow Average Abilities, Toradora and Classroom of the Elite. There’s a few others they have that I’m excited to start too.

                                            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
