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!!!!

Terabyte

See list above for the list ^

paulnamida

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

Fezu

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!

Fezu

What was the 9th announcement? Or am I missing something here?

myskaros

@fezu I'm thinking print editions was #9, but the panel isn't over so it might be at the end.

Fezu

I thought it was the Teaser announcement. I guess we'll see .. Maybe the App update was an announcement. I guess?

non8

The "WRYYYYYYY" one is Seirei Gensouki, right? MC Rio's wry smile is an ongoing joke...

Terrence

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.

Fezu

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..

Terrence

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)

myskaros

And it's over, no more announcements.

Fezu

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.

DTTA

Anyone know what the "Highly Requested" was? Contracts with Kadokawa, or a specific title?

myskaros

Whoops, the teaser went up after the stream ended.

Fezu

Well then, J-Manga.club incoming.
