    Seven Seas has a licensing event coming up this Wednesday-Friday on their social media pages. Both manga and light novel announcements.

    spoiler

    Get hype? Any guesses?

      My guess is none of them will be High School DxD or Rakudai Kishi

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

        God, I'd kill for Rakudai Kishi. :)

          I feel like Chivalry of a Failed Knight is next on the popular title list, next to Alderamin and some of those Harem series (DxD; Testament of Sister New Devil; Date A Live).

            Date A Live would probably be nice.

              I sure want more licenses but, at the same time, I ain't that excited 'cause I feel like there ain't that many fans of what I want so I am kinda observing (DON'T EVEN WANNA SPECULATE)

                Neat. I didn't know this was a thing. Any idea how many licenses may be announced?

                I'm hoping for Kimi to Boku no Saigo no Senjo, Aruiha Sekai ga Hajimaru Seisen, but I don't mind others like Rakudai or other ones either. More LNs in general is good for us fans, no matter what.

                  They said more than one book each day. Of course, it could be two manga and no light novels on one day. But they did clarify there will be light novel announcements and Ghost Ship label stuff announced.

                        2nd one is based on LN, so I'll skip it

                            Interesting they don’t even mention Beast Investigator is based on a LN. They almost fooled me into thinking it was a manga original.

                              Thank you for posting these announcements here. I don't use Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook.

                                The last announcement was kind of underwhelming for me, just because I know nothing about Mushuko Tensei, and I'd rather read the novels first / only (if the spin-off is confirmed content not in the books, and when exactly it's safe to read it continuity wise, I'll prep to add it to the to be read pile once I get there in the novels).

                                The last announcement was "Roxy Gets Serious" btw, Mushuko Tensei manga spinoff.

                                Edit: "Sexy" books inbound tomorrow (the promised Ghost ship label?).

                                  What do you mean by "Ghost Ship label"? I am not sure what the term means in this context.

                                    @malloc "Ghost Ship" is their shrink-wrap label, where they've put titles like To-Love-Ru and World's End Harem that have nudity and sex in them. I... don't know why Terrence used it in the context that he did.

                                    Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

                                      Oh, I'm guessing Ghost Ship label stuff is tomorrow since they teased "sexy" licenses tomorrow for Twitter announcements. They promised some more Ghost Ship label titles for this before the event.

                                      I wonder if they'll keep it to only Ghost Ship label stuff tomorrow, and then maybe the final day will be a light novel barrage? Can always hope. 🤞

                                        @terrence The tweet you linked says there will be light novels tomorrow. ;p I'm guessing one of them might go under the Ghost Ship label.

                                        edit, Reading it more carefully myself, it doesn't necessarily promise multiple lns... Guess we'll see.

                                          Whoops, literally just reread it, yup.

                                          " If you’re into manga, light novels, or SEXY content, don’t miss tomorrow’s licenses"

                                          My brain is working as well as usual. xD
