Acquisitions Speculation - General

[Zing]

Predictable and safe picks from Viz and Yen, boring if anything.

[Eternal Wanderer]

Happy to see Bunny Girl Senpai licensed at all but would have preferred someone other than Yen Press license it since there releases are glacial.

[sniper_samurai]

@eternal-wanderer And they don't release their stuff on Google Play.

[Terabyte]

@eternal-wanderer They're still better than Slow Press at least 😜

[Yoshken]

@rahul-balaggan yeah I was still stuck in line just to get in the con

[Yoshken]

Yo you guys are right about Yen Press they have a lot of good series but waiting 4 months at min is hell

[Village Idiot]

@sniper_samurai.?

Their series are on Google Play.

Wandering Witch is really good. It's magical Kino's Journey. Highly recommend.

@yoshken I wanted to hit the Yen panel too. After 3 1/2 hours waiting for badge pick-up that there was a glitch on and the prospect of another 3 hours in line to fix the glitch and then another god knows how many hours to get in, my fiancé and I just decided to skip AX and try our luck at refunds.

Last time I’ll ever go. It’s pretty fun when you’re in, but the logistics were a total mess this year.

[sniper_samurai]

@village-idiot Only in North America, they removed all their titles from the other English speaking markets.

[SomeOldGuy]

@the-green-death Ugh... Glad I make ACEN mail my badge out...

They do release stuff on Google Play afaik

[sniper_samurai]

@terrence And as I said in my last post only in North America. All Yen Press books were removed internationally and are unable to be redownloaded if previously purchased.

[LegitPancake]

Well Sam said on Discord he has "more than 5" license announcements.

Dang, that sucks, sorry.

I remember when they went down on Google originally, they said they'd be back up in more territories than before. Not that one I guess. =(

[Yoshken]

@the-green-death yeah it took 3 hours just to get in for me and I already had my badge

[Eternal Wanderer]

@legitpancake Well so much for this threads title.

edit, well now its accurate.

[stardf29]

Fun fact: of the five new Yen Press LN licenses, zero are isekai.

I'm mainly interested in Bunny Girl and Elaina; will probably check out Behemoth too.

[ant13099]

@stardf29 noticed that to but that could also mean the j novel and seven seas picked up allot of Isekai so Yen went a different way.

[Hyperion]

@stardf29 Behemoth is an isekai though, isn't it? He's reincarnated into another world.

[myskaros]

@hyperion Reincarnated into the same world.
