                    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.

                            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.

                                @raitoiro Last time I asked in Discord Sam said it got delayed a bit because of his mistake (so TL start got delayed). I guess we should be getting it anytime now though.

                                  speaking of new licenses, didn't Sam say during the last announcement thing there would probably be a few more series announced later in the summer? Around when would that be, most likely?

                                    @yumenokage There will probably be announcements at AX.

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

                                      thanks. I remembered some event being mentioned but couldn't remember what it was. I'm not really in a position to travel around to cons so I've never kept track of them.

                                      If we get some there, then it'll be just a bit more than a month. :)

                                        It looks like the Oregairu light novels are finally having a digital release on June 25th:

                                        http://www.b2c.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/none/my-youth-romantic-comedy-is-wrong-as-i-expected-vol-1-light-novel/9781975359805/?yen

                                        Which would also mean that Shogakukan is finally open for digital releases.

                                        I can't see any preorders yet though. Although there are for the manga series, which is also getting a digital release a week earlier.

                                        It's perhaps a bit too early to tell, but I hope it's correct. Have been waiting for them for quite a while.

                                        Quof got a break.
                                        WHAT'S THE STORY WITH THAT FREAKING BLACK DRAGON?!

                                          can we update the title of this thread? I keep looking for a specific JNC release announcement based on the topic (I think the original 9 are old news now, yes? ) Maybe "new releases, announcements and speculations"

                                          I read banned books
