Wow, 25 volumes seems very long compared to nearly everything else Seven Seas has published/plans to publish. I hope it goes well for them though even if the title is of no interest to me.

Out of the seven announcements I'm interested in Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto & The Ancient Magus Bride so can't complain too much. May also look into Non Non Biyori nearer the time.

I have to say I am happy with all these licenses, I am getting them all... but my poor wallet is crying in the corner.

OH MY GOD YES! OH MY GOD YES!

Thank you Seven Seas for bringing this masterpiece over, I had given up hope of it coming out here what with it's length. Best announcement of the 7 by a mile.

I'm very happy that they were able to license the series another title from them I'll be picking up.

But I remember their company rep on these forums saying that they didn't like to or plan on releasing series over 8-10 volumes or more. Especially since Freezing is at 25 volumes and still going. Guess they got a good enough deal or since this series wasn't on their list of publishers that are too much of a pain the ass to try to deal with.

I just hope their release schedule doesn't take them forever to catch up to the Japanese release.

... And here I am with all the Japanese volumes because I thought this would never happen.

Really excited for this, and the fact that they're two-in-one editions is really good since the series is already at 25 volumes.

My wallet and I both feel your pain.

Yay! I'm definitely excited about this, but I have the same concern as some of the other folks here that it won't actually be fully released given how Seven Seas normally functions (and even the companies that do release long series have dropped series before they hit the 25 mark, let alone the end), so I don't know if the odds of the series getting a full release in the US are very good, unfortunately. But this is awesome news regardless, and we may luck out and get it all. Hopefully enough people buy it and keep buying the new volumes to make that happen. I for one will definitely be buying them.

I've been reading the manga when I can and I am still surprised how slow the love between Satellizer and Kazuya has progressed.

Hopefully uncensored too; with the right level of marketing this could sell as well as Monster Musume for them.

i also hope so too. though there is also a chance that it might be censored since it is seven seas and not Viz Manga that did Bastard and Tengo Tenge and Black Lagoon uncensored.

Though what i really hope is that funi was able to get the video rights to freezing vibrations. it pretty obvious that they got the streaming rights to the second season but funi released the dvds and OVA of the first one as the complete series edition for their DVD/ Blue-Ray combo pack which would mean they may not have gotten the rights to release them on dvd.

It was created for a Japanese audience, so manga.

Well, this last announcement isn't a series I'm interested in. Hopefully it does well for Seven Seas, don't ever like seeing companies license something and then the series tanks.

So, out of the 7 announcements, I'm definitely getting Non Non Biyori and might be getting Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto and The Ancient Magus' Bride. Magus' Bride is closer to a buy than Sakamoto is ATM.
