Acquisitions Speculation - General
-
The LNs in this batch are a bit further away than the manga, but here is a Curiouscat answer worth noting:
does any one of the five light novel that you are about to release have dark fantasy element on it like grimgar or goblin slayer? ☆_☆ and wheres the hint?
The LNs are a bit farther off than the manga. All of them are pretty light actually. But you have a point we should go grab something dark, we haven't licensed anything much like that lately!
-
Yeah, I saw that earlier. So we can expect them to be lighter. Probably means Mushi-Uta is out, but Exterminator still in (it looks laid back on the cover).
I'm curious, if the LN licenses are a bit further off, will we get manga version of something we don't have LN wise first (like Exterminator)? I always thought of the manga as good for catch up purposes, though I guess they still can be that if there's a manga license in the catch-up titles sometime down the line.

@terrence Yuusha ga shinda?? I for one would pre-order this ASAP. We have to spread the Thighs cult.
I would love it, but it's definitely my wishful thinking that is seeing it here. T_T
I have no clue about the Touhou hint. Touhou is a bullet-hell space shooter thingamajig with Moe gals with vampire fangs and cute dresses + ribbons... So I'm expecting whatever manga that is to look like that? Idk.

Gate. It is definitely Gate.
-
@corp20 It's downright Gate and you know it.
-
As much as I would love Gate, I doubt it's Gate. Last I checked, it doesn't seem like Sam has been able to get a meeting with Alphapolis (the publisher).
-
@aruseus493 Alphapolis is the publisher of the light novel. The publisher for manga isn't always the same. Do we know the publisher of the manga is Alphapolis for sure?
-
-
@malloc Yes, Alphapolis is the publisher of the manga too. They self-publish most of their manga digitally. (They're one of the earlier LN publishers to have a heavy digital model for manga as far as I know.)
-
Thanks. Hopefully their comic book division is more willing to license digital only. I swear I once read Sam on Discord say that Alphapolis wasn't interested in digital only licensing.
-
@malloc I think that was Micro Magazine (Reincarnated as a Sword). The problem with Alphapolis is that they don't have an international licensing department(?) and he'd have to go through an agent or something like that.
-
It wasn't just Micro Magazine that said that. When he finally got a hold of someone that was something they told him if I remember correctly. Sam could of course correct me this was in Discord a long time ago.

Yeah, it sounds like Justus is going to hold off on the Anime NYC podcast to include them, which I think is smart (and it selfishly gives me more time to research the other light novel announcements if so).
Since I think one of them is potentially a manga adaptation of a novel we already have, I think it's worth covering them, even if only briefly. =)

Manga announcements (launches) will start tomorrow.

Any last second guesses.
Since it sounds like it's only manga, I'm curious if they're actually going to launch with a manga of a light novel that they don't have the license for yet / are still working on the license to acquire (ie; Exterminator). Hmm.
-
Well the Realist Hero manga has been revealed! Sam had the preview up for like 30 minutes and then took it down after some glitches were found. I think he plans on showing another one soon?
Also, for some reason the announcements page no longer has the manga hints.
-
I always wanted to read Default Original Title!

If they were gone, they're back up (at least I see them on my browser).
Edit: Chapter 1 is live. Time to see these enhanced character designs.
Edit 2: And now it's gone. I won't mess with it again, they're probably working on it. When I read it, some of the pages were missing (the one where he says "what am I, summoned to another world to defeat a demon-lord?"), so I opened the page again and it was gone.
-
Infinite Dendrogram is up!
Here is Sam’s explanation of the hint:

At this point I just hope we'll get something new >_>
