Acquisitions Speculation - General

@nosgoroth I think he's talking about this though I think @Yoshken might have misunderstood the title since apparently the reincarnator is the is main character. According to the link a more accurate main title is "My Father Is a Hero, My Mother Is a Spirit and the Daughter (Me) Is a Reincarnator."
-
@nosgoroth said in Acquisitions Speculation - General [AnimeNYC Nov 15-17]:
@stardf29 Welp, that last one comes with an English title. It could be what Sam was talking about.
Last one? Pretty sure 'Rare Class Change' isn't 'Dad Is a Hero, Mom Is a Spirit, I'm a Reincarnator'... Are you referring to some other post?
-
@korppi I'm not sure what the miscommunication is? I was referring to Rare Class Change, which is the last LN listed in stardf29's post which I was replying to. It has an English title, which would coincide with the clue Sam gave on Discord. As far as I can tell, Hero/Spirit/Reincarnator only entered the conversation after my post.
-
Hoping for some interesting ones, with 10+ titles hopefully at least one will be something i'm interested in however as always i'd like Twelve Kingdoms to be rescued from its eternal Tokyo Pop purgatory.
-
@eternal-wanderer yup that’s what I was talking about
-
Just wondering is does anyone know if JNC is holding a panel at AnimeNYC and if they are what day are they holding it.
-
-
@myskaros Thanks for the reply, never would have thought I'd get one that fast.
-
Looking at Anime NYC's panel schedule, these seem to be the only light novel industry ones, and are all on Saturday (tomorrow).
- Square Enix 1:30-2:20 PM EST
- Yen Press 4:30-5:30 PM EST
- JNC 6:30-7:30 PM EST
-
Ahh, too late in the night for me in CET. I'll have to find out what happened Sunday morning.

Squeenix licensing kusuriya is pretty cool even though it is just the manga from what I can tell. None of their other stuff seems interesting to me though

Some guy did a thread with square enix announcements on Twitter

holy shit yen press got High School DxDNow thats one that I didn't expect in a million years
-
A few great licenses, but Quiet Life is one I am most happy with as I loved the Web novel.
-
Not really hype for any license aside from maybe 3 days of happiness.
But good for all those people who finally get Hight school DxD.
Ps: Can we have an other miracles and get some Fate LN ^^ -
I'm the most excited for Three Days of Happiness, after that Quiet Life and maybe that Leadale one.
Here's the light novel licenses from Yen Press for those that don't use Twitter or the Discord:
High School DxD, story by Ichiei Ishibumi, art by Miyama-Zero (#lightnovel): Issei Hyoudou’s perverted life is filled with dreams of having a harem, but then one of his dates ends with his murder! He’s revived, but his school is filled with deadly angels and demons?!
High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even in Another World!, written by Riku Misora, art by Sacraneco (#manga): After crash landing in a foreign land filled with magic and monsters, seven of Japan’s high school geniuses wonder, how much are they allowed to mess around?
The Demon Sword Master of Excalibur Academy, written by Yu Shimizu, art by Asagi Tosaka (#lightnovel): A powerful demon lord is sealed away for 1,000 years, but when he awakens, he is reincarnated as…a 10-year-old boy?! Now Leonis must navigate the Excalibur Academy!
Banished from the Heroes’ Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside, written by Zappon, art by Yasumo (#lightnovel): Red was born with incredible powers, and he was ready to join the fight to save the world—but instead, he finds his destiny in an apothecary?
In the Land of Leadale, written by Ceez, art by Tenmaso (#lightnovel): The last thing she remembers is her life support failing. Her body suffered terribly and the only freedom left came from the VR world Leadale. How did she end up somewhere that looks like her game?
Three Days of Happiness, by Sugaru Miaki (#lightnovel): In this dark, moody love story, college student Kusunoki decides to sell off the next thirty years of his life at a mysterious shop in exchange for money—and maybe a chance to find something worth living for.

Holy...
That was extremely unexpected. I have to say Yen Press truly delivered this time. Personally I am interested in 3 novels:
-
Highschool DxD - well, not all that much needs to be said about this one
-
I Was Kicked out of the Hero’s Party Because I Wasn’t a True Companion so I Decided to Have a Slow Life at the Frontier - seems to be a fun, laid back SoL series
-
Excalibur Acadamy - this is actually the author of "Seirei tsukai no Blade Dance", its his new series. I saw it as a potential candidate when it was announced as his new work, and it seems it was a good guess. The story seems interesting enough, and the art seems good, but I honestly don't know how to feel about the protagonist being 10 year old. Hopefully he will grow up as the story progresses.
All that is left now I guess is JNC. I don't know how they will stack up to YP but I really hope for some SoL.

Is anyone going to stream J-Novel’s panel?
-
@malloc Usually @Rahul-Balaggan streams it. Not sure if he will this time too though.
