Wasn't expecting The Hollow Regalia to be licensed so quickly, only 3 volumes are out in Japan so far after just a year and it hasn't had an anime announced yet. I'm expecting an anime announcement in the near future given Kadokawa is extremely happy with the profits Strike the Blood generated, especially once the anime happened and went on for 9 years, those merch sales (multiple pop-up store fairs at Gamers and multiple new pre-order periods for various merch due to the demand) and extremely consistently good home video sales (Warner Bros. Japan was extremely happy with that). The newest issue of Megami Magazine (which sold out quickly) has interviews and an article on 9 years of Strike the Blood with "Strike the Blood Forever......".

Anyway definitely looking forward to it as it's from Gakuto Mikumo who created Asura Cryin' and Strike the Blood. Still hoping the Asura Cryin' light novels can get licensed someday, though that series unfortunately had the light novels and then anime come out well before light novels finally became a viable market here.

So excited to see Yoru no Namae wo Yonde licensed! Any news of an English release for a Harta series is cause for celebration. Hopefully the mangaka's collection from last year will be licensed as well.

The manga for Otherworlder Exploring the Dungeon only had 12 chapters and officially ended in 2020. That's kind of a weird choice to license, unless there was a relaunch I can't find, or they're planning on/already have the license for the LN too.

They DO have the light novel, it's on Yen ON, and that one is still ongoing. But sure, the manga is only two volumes...
