The only manga on the list that interests me is A Polar Bear in Love.

Nothing here that I really cared for, still waiting for a Saekano LN announcement, was really hoping it would be today since its the start for season 2, but guess I'll have to continue to wait...
From what I'm aware of, it has a decent following outside of Japan and remains pretty darn popular there as well. Please Yen Press.... |

Will totally be buying ACCA.
That last one about the spider made me think if only Kafka had been alive today (and Japanese), he could have written "I turned into a monstrous insect and what am I going to tell my sister now?" |

Hm. ACCA and One Week Friends are on the to-buy list based on the anime (and all Natsume Ono is automatically on the to-buy list). But even knowing nothing more than title/author/magazine, I'm already in on Yōkai Gakkō no Sensei Hajimemashita! and Graineliers (which I expect to be at least BL-teasy, given the combination of BL author and GFantasy), and maybe the polar bear one and Beelzebub-jō no Okinimesu Mama.
The "turned into a spider" novel also sounds like it might be weird enough to be interesting, although I'm not so into light novels... |

A number of these pick ups are series I've never heard of. And seeing excitement for So I'm a Spider intrigues me...never heard of that LN.
As for what I'm interested in, One Week Friends is a must buy for me. And, it being 7 volumes long helps solidify that decision for me. When it comes to series I've not heard of before, I think I may get As Miss Beelzebub Likes. Terrified Teacher at Ghoul School is a series I will keep an eye on, will see what reviews say about that one. |

YenPress sadly only has licensed the manga ._. But I'm kinda glad, everyone is talking about Light Novels here? |

They actually touched on this during the Q&A part of the panel. Talking about how they'd been told that "sports manga don't sell in the US", and yet after they brought out YowaPeda, sports manga are suddenly selling. And how they were told that LN don't sell in the US, but now it's so common for LN to get licensed. |

Yesss, "So I'm a Spider..." got licensed! It's one of the few light novels I've read where it's clear the author actually thought things out ahead of time. Also the protagonist's personality and overall plot is rather unconventional.

Well, I wouldn't say so, here in Germany we only have one publisher actively publishing Light Novels and they only have Accel World, because Black Bullet only has seven Volumes and Sword Art Online ... Well no one knows, what happened with Sword Art Online here xD Fun Fact: The Publisher I'm talking about is the german Tokyopop xD |

What an unexpected development, all 3 light novels are titles I was actually planning to read through other sources. More than that they all feature a combination of isekai/henshin tropes that speak to my particular "fiction fetish" for such stories. There's a minor gold mine of licenses for me here.
