Acquisitions Speculation - General
-
I always wanted to read Default Original Title!
-
@legitpancake said in New Acquisitions Speculation General [8 NEW AQUISITIONS ANNOUNCED (5 MANGA, 3 LNs)! 2 AQUISITIONS YET TO BE CONFIRMED! IT'S MANGA TIME!!!]:
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.
-
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
-
So two JNC novel titles gets the manga adaptation? Guess it's not too much to hope for How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord manga then.
-
@cosm1cfall
Seven Seas licensed the How not to Summon A Demon Lord manga series. They have two of the volumes out right now. -
How do you access Dendro and Realist on the app/website?
-
@village-idiot I don't think it's on the app yet.
On the site, I'd go to Titles, select Type-dropdown (in the search catalog space) and Manga option (instead of Novel), and then manga appears.
-
@hatguy12 Thanks
-
@shhotaku Well shoot. Oh well then.
-
I feel this was a really strong set of manga announcements.
3 series that j novel already has the LN for in Dendrogram, Realist, and seirei gensouki.
1 that I never saw coming but am absolutely thrilled about in Bookworm.
1 that I’ve never heard of before in Fairy apartment, but could be interesting.
-
I'm happy about Ascendance and that Fairy Apartment one, and I'm glad to see some series we know and love in action.
The publishers are Overlap, TO Books, and Hobby Japan.
I can't help but notice the slate all appear to be fantasy oriented. I know that's JNCs bread and butter, the main audience, but I'm curious to see what they experiment with genre wise there. I know they're looking into Yuri potentially, whether that's manga or LN.
-
Eh, chotto... I'm really not a fan of this "manga adaptations" thing, but maybe it means we could someday get the Bookworm's novel. Big maybe. Either way, hard pass on everything this time.
-
Definitely a good set of pickups.
Already familiar with Realist Hero and Dendrogram so I’ll be seeing how they get adapted as manga. The art for Dendrogram manga is great, though, so that’s a plus. On the other hand I’m not personally a fan of the Realist Hero manga art but I guess being as different as it is will appeal to other fans. Still will follow the manga though just because I love Realist Hero that much.
Seirei Gensouki manga is nice because for various reasons, I’m hesitant on starting the LNs. Manga is easier for me to get into, though, so I’ll check out the manga and based on that I might (or might not) start the LNs as well.
Fairy Apartment is a nice non-LN-based title. We need more cute 4komas like this in the English manga sphere.
And finally, Ascendance of a Bookworm! The LN for this definitely interests me a lot, so I’m glad to at least be able to check out the manga.
-
There is a very important question that needs to be asked: Do people who read light novels also read manga of said light novel?
-
@zing I dont but i will read these cause they are part of my Sub.
