Acquisitions Speculation - General

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.
-
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 >_>
-
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.
-
Yes!!! Imai Kami's Dendrogram!!!!! FUCK YES!!!!!
-
@terrence Yes, that is a known issue I'm working on fixing. Has do due with the fact that that is considered "resizing", and on resize the current page gets repositioned to its beginning
