Little Witch Academia! Smile I was hoping someone would get that one. Now we just need a home video license for the anime...

Teasing Master Takagi-san got picked up so I'm stoked for that looking forward to Fruits Basket: Another as well I always felt that was not a matter of if it got licensed but a matter of when.

Definitely going to pick up WorldEnd. Was one of my favorite anime of Spring 2017.

Wow on the On the Way to a Smile announcement. Regardless of its age, I never imagined the entire story collection would ever be officially published in English.

I was wondering when someone was going to licence the Fruits Basket sequel! Definitely looking forward to getting my hands on that.

I like how the artist for one of those light novels is just called "bob". Also, is there a reason that the first half of the article consists of Kodansha's announcements?

Same here. I've been meaning up snatch up Twinkle Stars as well. SAO Alt seems like it could be interesting, and I'm curious about Tsuno no Gakuen.

Good thing they licensed because I was considering checking out the fan translations.

Yes, there's some weird formatting issue going on. I thought I'd clicked the wrong link until I kept scrolling down...

Researching via Wikipedia, it appears that the manga is an adaptation of a 2015 novel of the same title, which was part of the "Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens" program, which were official, canonical novels and comic books meant to bridge the gap between the original trilogy and the new movies. So yes, it's canon.

The SAO Gun Gale light novels are a definite buy. I might try the WorldEnd light novels though the ending of the anime in which spoiler[the main heroine dies is a tad grimmer than what I prefer from light novels.]
