I don't think Sayonara, Rose Garden ever had novels. It's just the manga from publisher Mag Garden in MAGxiv.

Seven Seas, my birthday actually isn't for another couple weeks but don't worry, I'll happily accept this today!

I haven't read any of these but I'm excited to be able to. More yuri content, more life.

Two series that's getting anime adaptations, 1 anthology containing fan-favorite yuri manga-ka, 1 historical themed yuri manga, and 1 manga I heard is quite popular among fans nowadays (though I wished they localize the title to "Useless Princesses" as it has a better ring to it). This is a solid slate of titles.

This is quite the batch, isn't it! Other than the anthology, which I've probably read some of the one-shots from and don't know it yet, the only one I'm not familiar with is Goodbye, My Rose Garden and that sounds like it could be the most interesting of the bunch. I am quite a fan of the others, Adachi and Shimamura and Failed Princesses in particular, though I agree with darkchibi07 that Useless Princesses, as it has been referred to in the fan community already, would have been better. I don't know what the direct translation of the title is, but the association of that title with the other common phrase used in yuri fan commentary about protagonists like the ones in that story that also contains the word "Useless" as the first part of the phrase makes it a much better fit...

And really, Fragtime was good, it was just so long ago that I read it that it's not as fresh in my mind as the others. I have a vague memory of not feeling like the ending was satisfying... but it could be another series that I'm thinking of...

The biggest fish out there that isn't licensed right now would have to be Hana Ni Arashi... I'd love to see that picked up... and animated!

I couldn't agree more.

I think the title I’m most looking forward to is Syrup if only because we rarely seem to get manga and anime titles about adults.

Whoa... Seven Seas showing they're number one and the original when it comes to yuri, haha. But it must be a very disappointing set of announcements to anyone who likes the non-yuri stuff they release.

Very interested in Syrup, especially with Yoshimura Kana. Also, a certain yuri enthusiast whose tastes don't line up well with mine seemed to hate it for some reason, although I can't seem to find her post about it.

Another Yuri novel, and especially in print is cool, although I'll want to wait and see if I enjoy the author's Sayaka novels, or see if the anime is any good to me.

Never heard of Fragtime but as a scifi buff the premise alone has me sold, I'll have to make sure I pick up a copy.
