        A few great licenses, but Quiet Life is one I am most happy with as I loved the Web novel.

        Author of Praetor's Blood.

            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:

            alt text

            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?!

            alt text

            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?

            alt text

            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!

            alt text

            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?

            alt text

            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?

            alt text

            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.

                            Well that was a disappointing set of announcements for me, but the best news of the day was DxD got licensed and YP hit a few others I wanted so I'm still happy.

                              Sam didn't lie when it said that it woukd be unknown titles but the whole Legend line up look great, I'm really hype for all of them.
                              I really don't care about JNC heart tho, aside from the first one (beheading queen resonate with my french spirit ^^).
                              Also that isekai doujin look really cool.
                              Overall it look like a great batch of series, I hope most turn out to be as good as they look.

                              Do you like death, war and misery ?
                              Do you like badass op loli who let nobody got in their way ?
                              Do you like vengeance story?

                                I'm particularly happy there's going to be more shoujo released. The Legends label seems interesting, especially that Isekai Rebuilding Project one.

                                  Several titles are fantasy and potentially have expansive world and over-arching plots. This is good enough. Still hoping that Assassin Pride will be licensed soon.
