I'm really excited were getting more audiobooks, especially DanMachi and Executioner. It certainly makes an hour and a half worth of commuting by car go by alot easier

Re:Zero and DanMachi sidestory novels have my interest, as well as the Unnamed Memory sequel.

I wonder if they'll get any of the anime VA's back for the audiobooks.

So have they rescued the Eromanga Sensei license from Dark Horse who's been holding it hostage for years and won't go past Volume 3? Biggest crime in manga history.

I know your exaggerating, but really? Eromanga Sensei?

The biggest crime in manga history is how Kingdom is licensed in damn near every other language than English.

That's surprising given how big Kingdom is!

Eromanga Sensei is one of my favorite series though. I own more merchandise for it than anything else. How would you feel if your favorite series was licensed to a company that had no interest in releasing all the volumes of its manga? I mean they did for Oreimo and it's spinoffs so I really don't get it.

If it's any consolation, it's been fully scanlated. Largely it was picked up again because it was abandoned by the publisher. Just wish the novel too was fully translated, even better officially licensed, sigh...

Reminder--for those that hated the Higurashi Gou anime, the manga version will lead to a completely different ending. I've been reading up on it, and long before building up to its distinct climax it was already vastly superior to the anime in its narrative execution, confirming what wasted potential the latter really was. Definitely give the manga version a chance.

Being licensed by Dark Horse is like being damned to purgatory.
