Acquisitions Speculation - General
-
Hmm, ImoSae seems to have digital releases on July 23, Tomozaki-kun too.
Although these don't even appear in Yen Press' website itself.Wait, ImoSae does.Quof got a break.
WHAT'S THE STORY WITH THAT FREAKING BLACK DRAGON?! -
@crimson-wise Oh yesss. Also four volumes on the same day, looking at the related items, and the 5th on September.
-
Great news! I'll switch to digital for A Sister’s All You Need if it's true and I'd be really happy if Tomozaki starts digital, so I don't have to buy them twice. Btw, this is the list I have compiled of Shogakukan request topics for those interested:
- AURA - Maryuuin Kouga Saigo no Tatakai
- Bokurano - Alternative
- Cop Craft: Dragnet Mirage Reloaded
- GJ-bu (GJ Club)
- Humanity Has Declined (Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita)
- I, the Demon Lord, got remarried to the female hero's mother making her my stepdaughter
- Is it Tough Being a Friend?
- Ore, Twintail ni Narimasu
- Rakuen Tsuihou -Expelled from Paradise
- Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn't Exist (Shimoneta to Iu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Taikutsu na Sekai)
- Strange Voice
- Tobenai Chou to Kara no Shachi (Wounded Butterfly and Orca of the Sky)
- Yagate Koisuru Vivi Lane (How Vivi Lane Falls in Love)
-
Tomozaki digital is a very good dream! Yay.
I've already got 3 Sis is all You Need volumes, but I'll likely switch after reading those. 2 SNAFU physical volumes here.

@crimson-wise regarding tomozaki digital:
-
Hope Middle aged Businessman isekai is coming soon :/

Ah, I keep forgetting about that one and then when reminded thinking like it sounds interesting. Luckily I have enough on my plate to keep me occupied for now, but at this rate I wonder if we won't get it until the next round of acquisitions.
-
Yay, the Monogatari series is coming digitally! I saw them listed on Kodansha's website yesterday, but Vertical will make it official tomorrow: https://twitter.com/vertical_staff/status/1135993444357328896
-
Soon the days of print only Light Novels will be behind us!
-
No, it’ll be the days of “all digital but print is often cheaper”.
(Vertical priced the Masquerade and the Nameless Woman ebook at $13, when it’s retailing in print for $10-something. I expect Monogatari to be similarly overpriced.)
-
@hamsterexastris That doesn’t really bother me, as long as they’re available from legitimate publishers on digital, I’m ok if they have to cost a little more in order to get them.
-
I'm pretty sure the prices are reasonable (like, 10 bucks). They were up on Google Play for a bit. I want to say Bakemonogatari was regularly 10, but it was discounted 2.00 for some reason to 8.00.
-
We will have to disagree on what makes a digital LN reasonably priced, cause to me $10 is not reasonable, hence why I do not buy Sol Press and SS LNs digitally...
Honestly speaking if JNC premiums cost $10 I would pay, no DRM and high res pictures with premium bonuses...
-
I've been looking at the Toradora LNs for some time. But I haven't decided whether I want to buy the kindle edition (with DRM), or dead tree, because the DTE is cheaper at rightstufanime.com (with GotAnime discount) than the kindle edition.
I keep thinking, "DTE because it's cheaper and I can share it", then I do something like go try to organize my book shelves, and think, "Why do I need MORE paper here?"
Not going to order Monogatori digital, though... Already have DTE of everything that's been released.
-
@hamsterexastris
I don't know if this is the final price or if they'll change it later, but right now most of the digital Bake, Nise, and Neko novels are listed on Amazon at $4.99. The most affordable digital novels yet. -
Looks like that's a special. They're 4.99 on Google too (priced down from 10.99).
-
Yep, Terrence is right. The first season or the first 7 books are 50% off through 6/11. https://kodanshacomics.com/2019/06/05/monogatari-ebooks-nisioisin/
Makes me wonder if this means the Monogatari novels could be included in Kodansha's frequent digital sales like other Vertical titles have been.
-
I feel like I'm spamming this topic but, Yen Press is officially announcing the digital releases of their Shogakukan titles! It feels like Christmas.
https://twitter.com/yenpress/status/1136357934940807169Looks like just Oregairu and ImoSae for now. Hopefully Tomozaki will come soon.
-
@hyperion Please do spam this thread!
-
No Tomozaki-kun PR confirmation yet?
They did announce A Sister Is all You Need digital.
