Acquisitions Speculation - General
-
I wonder how long until we get the last 2 LNs. Sam said the 5th one is now confirmed so I guess it's gonna take some time before they translate the first 4 parts.
I'd love to see a LN about the MC being able to travel between worlds though. I had high hopes for 80,000 Gold, but... I'm not even sure if it will come out for now.

Sam said on his Curiouscat five days ago that it'd be about a month for them, so I guess we can expect them by mid-March?

Yep, already reading that. It was a nice discovery but it has only 2 volumes out thought (with the second one starting TL soon). I'd like some more similar series/content đ

@terabyte
There is the last of the FUNA series âsaving 80,000 gold in another worldâ the MC in that one travels back and forth At will. -
@catstorm I think you may have missed Teraâs previous comment where he expresses interest for 80K and also expresses trepidation at Solâs ability to deliver.
-
@rahul-balaggan Indeed đ

Oh, I'm sure it'll be in typesetting on their blog before you know it...
=(
-
@terrence yeah maybe when they actually acknowledge that they locked up the license to VRMMO Academy, cause it still ainât listed under Light Novel on their Site.
Also:
Comes out in 12 days 0% done
-
@rahul-balaggan Kinda of fills you with confidence. Not really.

Yen Press announced the license of Keigo Higashino's novel The Miracles of the Namiya General Store. I'm so excited that they're continuing to branch out from lights novels to license Japanese literature/novels.
-
@hyperion That is freaking awesome news! Instant buy for me and it sounds really good!
I am just in the middle of Higashinoâs latest Dectective Kaga mystery âThe Newcomerâ and itâs fantastic!
Iâve read the majority of his translated works and he is the writer who got me intonations Japanese fiction with the wonderful âDevotion of Suspect Xâ
-
@the-green-death
I've been interested in trying his work when I discovered it a little while ago. My library has a number of his books on Overdrive. Would you recommend The Devotion of Suspect X as a good entry point for the author? -
@hyperion Yeah itâs a great start, still my favorite and Iâve read it twice and plan to read it again soon. Itâs very much a mystery so you wonât like it if you donât like mysteries and itâs also very much a Japanese mystery in that itâs pretty slow-paced. Whatâs cool is you know who did it from the start but you donât know the how and itâs a book that plays fair with the answers even though I certainly didnât predict the ending.
-
@the-green-death
Sounds good, I'll give it a read. Thanks for the input. -
So... Did the Yen PR team mess up in announcing that Higashino work on Twitter too early or was there a typo in the announcement or something? Tweet is supposedly gone without a trace now.
Early April Fool's joke gone wrong? xD
...
T_T
It still is listed on their site, so...

Looks like Vertical will be announcing some novels soon.

Maybe someone will finally pick up Kino's Journey, since they have the manga and stuff.
-
It's probably some more Nisio Isin stuff.
-
I'm a big fan of his work so hopefully we get some cool stuff, I'd love to see his crossover series get licensed for english speakers.
