      (And as more people make them aware of their faults. hint hint)

      I have made any all issues that I have seen known to them either through twitter, or email, I wouldn’t just come on a different site and complain if I didn’t complain to the people who put out the content.

      As for no one is being forced to double dip, when it comes to people who want to have everything as early as possible to enjoy it as fast as possible it does become an issue. Everyone who is in the digital camp made out like bandits, anyone who prefers physical either has to wait several months or pony up money now and then again in July. From a business standpoint it makes 100% total sense for digital first.

      Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

        Pretty much going digital then physical is better way to start. Also, might as well reveal my picks. Ahem, For manga, I decided to go with:

        -Bonnouji (3 Volumes of romantic fluff)

        -Boku Girl (for the Ghost Ship Imprint)

        -Tsugumomo (for the Ghost Ship Imprint)

        -Komi-San Wa Komyushou Desu (Ongoing and is a cute 4koma read)

        For LNs, I went with the following:

        -Is It Tough Being A Friend? (A harem romcom told from the hero protagonist’s friend POV. Plus I request this series a lot, so yeah.)

        -Jaku Chara Tomozaki-Kun (A romcom SOL that involves gamers slash gaming)

        -Boku Wa Tomodachi Ga Sukinai (Despite the controversial ending and Seven Seas having the manga, I figured to include the novel as well)

        -Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Kinki Kyouten (They have the manga, so the LN series could work as well too.)

        -Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e (Seeing how the anime came out AND how plenty of people have been requesting this series to be licensed, I figured that it also needs to be licensed as well.)

        -Oda Nobuna No Yabou (It got an anime a while back, and it's also a long running series)

        -I Reincarnated into an Otome Game as a Villainess With Only Destruction Flags…. (BECAUSE BAKARINA)

          Speaking of mistakes missed in editing, I just glanced at the first page of Zeroth Maria Volume 2 digital release:

          “Well, thanks to this last incident, I’m beginning understand why

          *Beginning to understand why. So yeah, even the heavy hitters in Yen Press aren't catching their errors before release. =[

          I definitely want this. =]

              Seven Seas just licensed the manga I was going to request next month, lol.

              alt text

              I think I'll request the "The Summoned Brave Died" manga next (see if I can find a link for that one later).

                @terrence for a second I thought you meant Yuusha ga Shinda, the one where the Hero gets killed by a villager's trap and then said villager ends up taking over the Hero's corpse with the help of a necromancer to save the world and spread the greatness of thicc thighs. Damn, I love that series. And I just realized it was licensed, what the fuck is Shogakukan Asia??

                  I think that is the one I'm talking about.

                  And it's licensed? (I think that company may be Singapore / Asian Territory based only? They have "So Cute It Hurts" listed as Koba Cute; and I can't figure out how to buy anything).

                  I happened upon that, the Magical Girl is a Delinquent one, and "I Live With My Brother's Wife". Probably request the latter next time (though, it sounds like the romantic setup in that one is a bit slow paced).

                    @terrence Yep, that's the series, I thought you meant another since this hero was definitely not summoned, it's pure fantasy. And seems like you're right, it's for SEA only, they don't offer sales on their site, you have to buy them on stores. Kinokuniya does have international shipping though: https://singapore.kinokuniya.com/products?is_searching=true&keywords=legendary+hero+is+dead&taxon=2

                      Seven Seas announced a new light novel.

                      https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DYW73qrVQAA7IE4?format=jpg

                      The title is... rather unfortunate, ha ha. But if you want to find it, the announcement is on their site and social media. The manga is also coming, and there is an anime movie releasing too?

                        @terrence That's “I want to eat your pancreas”, right? That should actually be a regular novel, not a LN?

                          Yeah, they never use "light" in their announcement. And yes, it's that title.

                          I haven't looked up info, but the press release was titled (spoilers)

                          spoiler

                            Knowing nothing about the book aside from the title, I was thinking it would be a zombie thing >.>

                              @myskaros They’re making an anime movie of it this fall. Seven Seas also licensed the manga.

                                Just to add, someone on Twitter said this was originally a Web Novel. Is that a more unique route to novel label publication?

                                  Boogiepop novels are getting reprinted physically as Omnibus editions, the second of which will include two unpublished volumes (5 and 6).

                                  Wonder if they'll be on Nook by the time the second Omnibus releases... I doubt it. I so wish they released on Google Books. T.T

                                        I think I will suggest Mob Psycho 100 next time. Mob Psycho 100 is just a great series that I need it in an English Physical release and I know it is has a physical release.

                                          April Survey is up. =]

                                          I'm in a Yuri mood a bit, so maybe I'll look for some (having trouble finding light novel Yuri though). I forget if I requested the Legendary Hero Dies manga, or saw it after the last survey. I'll check what I asked for last month, then update from there.

                                          "Yuusha ga Shinda"

                                          "I Live With My Brother's Wife".

                                          alt text

                                          Looks like I didn't request that or the "I Live With My Brother's Wife" one. Time to request them!

                                          The Legendary Hero one is available in English, but from Singapore, and the import costs are ridiculous. I dunno what the legalities are in terms of licensing it for another English speaking territory, but I'll ask for it.

                                          I think I want to request Good Luck Girl! too. Hmm, decisions decisions...
