Is this real life?
At this point I think every title I've ever wanted licensed except Sasami-san has been licensed. Wow, what a nutty world.
The Kadokawa contract opens up so much too. Man, this is nuts!!!!
-
-
I was nutting all over KC and AmaBuri. And now they add Seirei Gensouki??
@Sam-Pinansky are you that set on giving some of us a friggin heart attack?? I'm hyperventilating!! I have a shift at the hospital tonight so I'm sad I won't be able to read the first parts of both KC and ABP, but I am sure glad that if I pass out I'll have proper attention quickly xD
-
Wow full scale prints. Damn

Wow full scale prints. Damn
They might be able to work with publishers that don't do digital only then! Like I was a sword when I reincarnated!
-
What was the 9th announcement? Or am I missing something here?
-
@fezu I'm thinking print editions was #9, but the panel isn't over so it might be at the end.
-
I thought it was the Teaser announcement. I guess we'll see .. Maybe the App update was an announcement. I guess?
-
The "WRYYYYYYY" one is Seirei Gensouki, right? MC Rio's wry smile is an ongoing joke...
-
So was that all the announcements? I didn't count. (And I dont't know if the "physical print" announcement was one of the listed ones). It was a "Big Announcement", which I assume was that weird lone one in the hints list?
We have a Jyumonji Q+A later too, but I wouldn't want to get my hopes up for more stuff. Just dive into what we got when it goes up.
-
I guess we keep it like this for now.
Still surprised, did the Shogakukan deal get cut? At least we instead got Kadokawa licenses, this opens up a lot of new suggestions. Could get interesting now..
-
I knew the Ryuu / Dragon answer... kind of. I was just learning that in Realist. I would have said one looks like a lizard and one looks like a camel (I think camel was the animal the girl from the other world was confused about?). xC

Yup. The floodgates are open. (Light Novel Request board intensifiesGIF)
-
And it's over, no more announcements.
-
Still really good, I never expected these two big bangers to be ever get announced, let alone ever get a official translation. So I take them, also looking forward to read the most selling HJ license (Seirei Gensouki). I also will dip my toes in the others, as well.
Today was a good day.
-
Anyone know what the "Highly Requested" was? Contracts with Kadokawa, or a specific title?
-
Whoops, the teaser went up after the stream ended.
-
Well then, J-Manga.club incoming.
