      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. =)

                              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.

                                    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.

                                          Ooh, vertical scrolling. I appreciate that. =)

                                          Edit: It's a little snappy on my browser sometimes (I think it's the disappearing / reappearing browsing bar on my phone that is messing it up; it'll snap when scrolling back in the other direction).

                                            Here to a potential Isekai Mahou manga license, just so that we can have, you know, actual illustrations.

                                            Quof got a break.
                                            WHAT'S THE STORY WITH THAT FREAKING BLACK DRAGON?!
