        I'm actually ok with that (we know that at least Battle Divas will have a trailer tonight though).

        I have dumb hopes and wishes, but expecting some interesting VN stuff I've never heard of that I'll still be hype for.

        ...

        Edit: You're talking about Battle Divas? Nvm. T_T

        At least the VRMMO school one is ongoing. And the other new announcement is a brand new #1.

          Their VN announcements are actually pretty good: I've heard nice things about Mirai Radio, Itorodori is a quite popular series and Nukitashi is praised by almost everyone who doesn't shy away from the sexual humor.

            There are "hints" for 5 manga and 5 LNs (with 3 confirmed, 2 unconfirmed yet) up, though the hints are extremely by the numbers this time.

              Hope we close some suggestions topics then (Hopefully, some romcom for a change like Gamers or Netgame no Yome wa Onna no Ko ja nai to Omotta?)

              Sam said on Curious Cat that he will announce new physical stuff in Dec tho <Hope they ain't included in those 5>

                I wouldn’t call them hints, it’s more of an acknowledgement of existence really.

                  Well, I'm pretty sure at least one of those titles will be from Fujimi Shobo, since Sam had a meeting with them a while back.

                    @jaquobus He just prepped the page, the hints will come later.

                      Wow, 5 & 5. I was expecting more manga and maybe a couple of LNs. Glad I was wrong. Now to wait for the hints... though I guess it won't be long either way since Sam mentioned the manga are coming out mid November.

                        You know I feel like we are all very lucky right now, even 4-5 years ago the idea that we could get to read so many LN beyond mostly poorly translated fan stuff would be crazy. Just from J novel club alone we will have gotten more than 20 new translated series or stand alones in just 2018, that’s crazy stuff.

                        I guess I’m just really glad to be able to legally access the medium I love so much is what I’m trying to say.

                          I know what you mean. The memory of Yen Press discarding the original covers for Spice & Wolf in favor of westernized ones seems a distant memory at this point...

                            @korppi Sometime the westernize cover can be better, the new cover for the french edition of goblin slayer look way cooler than the jap one

                              So we can sort when searching through the catalog between Manga or Novel now, and Most recent, least recent, along with the old A-Z, Z-A.

                              Of course, nothing listed under manga yet.

                                @raitoiro well I still like the original cover. The series is about the characters and you get a sense that something is not right when you flip the cover anyways.

                                  @drone205 The serie is about character but mostly that dude being badass while killing goblin what i feel that cover show more than the jap one. The real problem is more that the next volumes will probably have the jap cover so vol1 won't fit that well with the rest of the serie.

                                    New hints up for 5 manga and placeholders for 5 lns on the announcement page

                                    Manga #1
                                    Now with "enhanced" character design

                                    Manga #2
                                    Just call Terminix

                                    Manga #3
                                    Preferred Apache

                                    Manga #4
                                    The manga we deserve, but...

                                    Manga #5
                                    Are we sure this isnt a touhou?

                                    Considering the description I think it is highly likely that #1 is Realist Hero due to the complaints about the changes to the character designs from the lns.

                                        @smiley_101 if everything stays on track around Thanksgiving, could be before could be after.

                                        Scratch that looks like manga is set for around Thanksgiving, and LN will just come in “winter”

                                          @sniper_samurai I think you're right about #1; but I still hope we're all wrong. Realist Hero's manga art looks really bad to me 😐
