Otome Game Sekai wa Mob ni Kibishii Sekai Desu


Ahh I remember this. I read a chapter or so of the manga.. the concept sounded sort of interesting (and I liked that he learned everything about the game because his sister forced him to play it. I think he dies because he played it for too long or something) but I was also worried it would just turn into some woman are evil type story and didn't really want to deal with it.

Kodama Naoko is always...well, Kodama Naoko. Yuri moms sounds amazing, though.

I didn't even know there was an Abilities Average spin-off manga but I enjoy the novels so I'll check it out.

I'm here for all the yuri, and if they need to release all this other stuff in order to keep going and getting more yuri, more power to them.

The majority of our titles are scheduled to release 3-4 months apart until they catch up to their Japanese releases. Once a book catches up with Japan, it can cause longer gaps due to having to wait on the Japanese tankoubon to release and the time it takes to sort out contracts and get materials.

Nice to see Otome Game Sekai wa Mob ni Kibishii Sekai Desu licensed. I've only read the manga and the fantrad of the first vol, it was interesting.
My want to see it licensed 's list keep getting thinner every new announcement recently.

They're a lot faster than Yen Press, and at least they have early ebook release for their light novels. Classroom of the Elite and Mushoku Tensei released like 5 volumes each last year? That's very fast compared to just about any other publisher other than J-Novel Club.

I'm definitely picking up the Abilities Average spinoff, as Seven Seas has done an excellent job with the franchise so far.

I can't really say that I've noticed any of the Seven Seas titles that I currently buy to have a slow release speed, aside from maybe My Monster Secret, but that might just be that I am always anticipating the next volume so eagerly.

You mean they kill the fan-translations by out-pacing them?

It doesn't go quite that far, but it comes close. The way women are written in this series is not great even when they're shown in a positive light. I will be surprised if the inevitable anime isn't controversial.

I dropped it midway through the fourth volume; albeit for unrelated reasons.

The only Seven Seas series I read that seems to release slowly (and that, AFAIK, doesn't have to wait for the next Japanese release) is Satoko and Nada, but that makes every new volume more of a special treat.

Kageki Shoujo? Nice! I was always interested in it, but I never thought it'd get picked up. Definitely getting it when it releases.

I am happy with your release schedule. While anticipation tinges the wait, my wallet appreciates the gap. Thanks for supporting Kindle releases too.
