        @dargonsunited I stopped caring about convention announcements a few years ago. We're in the internet age, there's no point to delay an announcement for a convention that has limited exposure vs. the unlimited amount of people that can share something instantly through the internet at any time.

          YP licensed the manga for Kono Yuusha ga Ore Tueee Kuse ni Shinchou sugiru. This is the one that has an upcoming anime in fall.

          YP also got the manga for Slime Taoshite 300-nen, Shiranai Uchi ni Level Max ni Nattemashita.

            Sigh, in a better world Seishun Buta would be licensed by JNC and we wouldn't have to wait 6-9 months until the very first volume. Oh well, at least it did get licensed, maybe my hype won't die down as usual by the time YP actually releases something.

              I'm happy for Bunny Girl Senpai and that's it for me from Yen Press. Viz made me even happier, Blue Flag and both shoujo series for me.

                Predictable and safe picks from Viz and Yen, boring if anything.

                  Happy to see Bunny Girl Senpai licensed at all but would have preferred someone other than Yen Press license it since there releases are glacial.

                            @sniper_samurai.?

                            Their series are on Google Play.

                            Wandering Witch is really good. It's magical Kino's Journey. Highly recommend.

                              @yoshken I wanted to hit the Yen panel too. After 3 1/2 hours waiting for badge pick-up that there was a glitch on and the prospect of another 3 hours in line to fix the glitch and then another god knows how many hours to get in, my fiancé and I just decided to skip AX and try our luck at refunds.

                              Last time I’ll ever go. It’s pretty fun when you’re in, but the logistics were a total mess this year.

                                @village-idiot Only in North America, they removed all their titles from the other English speaking markets.

                                      @terrence And as I said in my last post only in North America. All Yen Press books were removed internationally and are unable to be redownloaded if previously purchased.

                                          Dang, that sucks, sorry.

                                          I remember when they went down on Google originally, they said they'd be back up in more territories than before. Not that one I guess. =(
