      @shiroiryu I can recommend the Amazon Fire 7 - and then just install something like Moon+ Reader from somewhere like PureApk.

      The reason I recommend this tablet is two fold: it's cheap and can also read anything that you only get on Amazon as well. Win win.

        @shiroiryu Any device will work, really. You can use a variety of PC readers (even Microsoft Edge has built-in ePub support), and you can use Calibre to convert the ePubs to any other format you might need (JNC ePubs are DRM-free). Personally I read it on my Kindle, using Calibre to convert the ePub to MOBI.

            @shiroiryu I just use Moon+ on my phone. I do admit others may prefer a larger screen for reading.

              Just wondering if you had an estimate on when the new titles will drop, obviously theirs been some kind of delay but hopefully it’s nothing to serious.

                @catstorm This is actually kind of normal with kodansha. They move slowly with contracts/materials...

                We got permission to announce it early. Maybe next time it's better to just wait until we have all the materials already fully ready.

                  Eh. I don't care either way myself, long as it's going through. :) Appreciate the hard work you do, Sam.

                    I'll cop to being a bit excited/impatient myself, but I'm fine with announcing things early. Yen and Seven Seas usually announce things even further ahead, so a month or two isn't too bad. In this case we even have a ton of new stuff from AX to hold us over.

                    We're just used to more instant gratification with your announcements, usually you guys announce and roll out some parts from the outset.

                      @lazyproblems Okay, the contract is literally in my mailbox now.

                      All that's left is to wait for them to send us the data for the cover.

                            I'll probs check out Echo, cause I check out most everything, but I'm hyped for those other two

                              @smashman42 Sam mentioned earlier this week on Discord that he finally got all the materials for Bakarina, so he was hoping it could go up this week, but wasn't sure about scheduling. I've been refreshing and watching for news all day, but at this point just I'm crossing my fingers for sometime this weekend D:

                              Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

                                I’ll probably be checking it out after work and after my homework is done which is to email my professor. Which I neglected doing so since Monday. Damn I’m something else for sure.

                                  Echo is not my thing. I'll be talking a look at Bakarina and Head Best though.

                                    I hope Bakarina gets posted soon, from what I've read about it on Tvtropes it sounds hilarious.

                                      @eternal-wanderer Sam said it should get posted this week together with Beast Head.

                                      I guess we're getting the usual 4 parts for both since it's the first volume of a new series, right?

                                        @terabyte I think both will actually go up wednesday next week because that'll be the release day. And bakarina will get 4 parts while Best Head will get 2 or 3 since it's only 2 volumes long.
                                        Keep a look out for the events! We're just doing the final preparations now.

                                            Could you guys also look into doing Gamers! by Sekina Aoi. The publisher is Fujimi Shobo. It has been adapted into both an anime too.
