      And to add, I know it's sometimes outside your control, but I'd really appreciate having the streams at some reasonable time for European timezones. 3-4AM is as inconvenient as it can be.

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

        @Crimson-Wise Our streams are usually at 2000 UTC. As you said, this time is outside our control.

              So far every recent announcement from JNC has had at least one novel I've taken an interest in. Hopefully that continues, or even better if they get something that's on my top 5 list.

                I'd be jumping for joy and party like hell if JNC licenses any of the top 20 most Up Voted series in the Licensing Suggestions.

                JNC LN Ranking:
                1st - Rokujouma
                2nd - Realist Hero
                3rd - Bookworm

                  I don't! I don't! But just buying some is enough. Everyone announces all right around the same time so the budget can get torn asunder really quickly if I'm not careful.

                      JNC's generally the only one who starts releasing pre-pubs right after the announcements though. I think there's some announcements from other companies from last year where I'm still waiting for Vol 1 of the LN to come out, so I'm a little less concerned about other companies new licenses taking up my budget or reading time on a more immediate basis.

                        Only a bit over an hour before the new licenses are announced. Does anyone have any final guesses before the big reveal?

                        Last chance to place your bets! 😉

                          Loop 7-kai me no Akuyaku Reijou wa, Moto Tekikoku de Jiyuu Kimamana Hanayome Seikatsu wo Mankitsu Suru

                          My grasp on sanity remains absolute.

                          Oh, right, the poison, the poison for Kuzco, the poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's poison. ...That poison?

                              So just the one new license?

                              I have plenty to read, but I guess I do hope Seven Seas has a few more tricks up their sleeve before the month ends. Tentai announcement should be something I'll get too.

                                @Terrence there were two new licenses. But one of them was for additional material on a series they already have.

                                      Fortunately both licenses are right up to my taste, but I‘m a bit disappointed that they announced only two new licenses and one of them is additional material.

                                        For me the greatest news was the fact that Sam is in Japan for business reasons. Meaning he's probably negotiating new licenses for new series and/or licensing new volumes for current series.

                                            @BartzBB Yeah. This gives me great hope for the next round future licences.

                                            Anyway I'm not surprised that the Bookworm fanbook is liscenced but I kind of didn't expect it to happen so soon. Is it going to be released part by part like any other LN or is something different going to happen given that it's a fanbook?
