More Kemono Friends-related media officially in English is sweet, but I hope they, or someone else, license(d) the fun anthology manga based on the anime's version of the setting instead of Furai's one which is kinda bunk. I'll support it for the franchise's sake, but it's really not at all the best example of why it's loved. Semi-disappointed.

Can't wait to read Maoyu; i loved that anime.
Some of the other stuff sounds pretty neat as well, like the "Elvish Bride and Pizzaria" one (if the premise is based on a marriage, that will mean half of the annoying LN tropes are automatically eliminated!!) |

Yoko Taro and Daisuke Moriyama's manga is getting an english release what wonderful news. I hope it'll be confirmed for a print version sometime down the line.

I dont understand why they would license Baka & Test, Maoyu, and Tokyo Ravens when you can get those on bookwalker already (I actually already have them from Bookwalker), unless they are going to release them in print.

It's because they have a deal with bookwalker. That's why they licensed them. These are the last of their shared titles. |

So the light novels arent even done? Then finishing the manga early must have been because of poor sales. Why not just license the Light novels then? |

Well, they are already releasing the LN. The Manga adaptation is relatively new and they released it in digital, and now it's getting a print release too. |

The Demon Who Became My Sister (Ane Naru Mono) This is assuming. This series came a long way in such a short time. First, there's the original hentai doujinshi manga (which is still ongoing). Then, it gets a serialized adaptation in Japan and now it's licensed for an English release.
Tales of Wedding Rings (Kekkon Yubiwa Monogatari) so now people can buy the volume physically. I enjoy this harem series, minus the clingy jealous main girl. |

Because there are lots of people like me who read comics digitally but won't touch Bookwalker because it's too much hassle to use yet another app for comics. (I'm already behind on Crunchyroll Manga and Line Webtoon, and I have a bunch of stuff I bought on sale in the Viz app that I haven't read, to say nothing of Comixology.) At this point I don't want to start a digital series unless I can hit subscribe on Comixology and have everything show up on my Kindle on the release date. |

And wow, there is Yoko Taro Thou Shalt Not Die getting license? That's really sweet, I totally like the pproach to the stereotypical battle academy manga/LN cliches with his own unique style. |

Yoko Taro dabbles in light novels, too?  Man, this guy is everywhere! Still, I tend to really dig his stories, so I'll definitely be on the lookout for this. (Also, YES, Silver Spoon! :DDD)

I read the original Dōjinshi (not proud of that but I did read it) of The Demon Who Became My Sister never in a million years would I have thought that would get a "legit" Manga version. That being said, Reborn as a Vending Machine, Now I Wander the Dungeon is the more surprising license as this title became kind of punchline online for the excesses of Light and Web Novels.
Of course I will be reading Reborn as a Vending Machine, Now I Wander the Dungeon and The Hero and His Elf Bride Open a Pizza Parlor because it combines two things I love Pizza and Elf brides but I digress. I'm surprised it took this long for Silver Spoon to get licensed but I'm glad it did so now I'll be able to read it. I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years sounds like a blast, so I'll be giving that a read and the Kemono Friends hype train continues unabated and I am not getting off. Also Goblin Slayer Year One nice I really enjoy the first novel in the series it derives from so more Goblin Slayer is fine by me. Where as I love some romance so Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts and Hatsu Haru sound right up my ally as well. |

There's some nice stuff here that I'll be picking up, like Hatsu*Haru and Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts because I've read older titles by the authors and thought they were okay. I might grab the Baccano manga as well just because I like the LNs and anime so much.
The LNs that they picked up this time are completely uninteresting to me. In particular, those where the main character is completely over-powered from the start, what's the point? I wish someone would licence titles targeted at a female audience, like Sugar Apple Fairy Tale. |
