Info General Light Novel News and Announcements

[Demonspeed]

The first volume of Kawahara's new series is available in Japan

To sum up, aliens landed on earth and generate an energy called "Third Eye". Humans in contact with it gain superpowers. The story is about Utsugi Minoru who gained the ability "Absolute Solitude" and Yumiko who is a member of an organization which keeps an eye on people like him. Apparently, his ability makes of him a fight magnet.

Looking forward to read it. Once again, they chose a talented artist to make the art. Abec is still my favorite though.
Yen Press could do a "simultaneous" release... They're so into LN market recently...

Dengeki Autumn fest is dated, seems to suggest Accel World and DRRR! news. http://nekonotemo.net/6615

Accel World needs a second season of the anime.

Yen Press is bringing the Light Novels for
Kagerou Daze
Sword Art Online Progressive

in 2015.

Yen Press announced ABSOLUTE SOLITUDE as well. I'm crying right now... They did what I wanted...

I'm gonna buy SAO: Progressive as well, almost 100% sure. Money and Space make me think a bit more.

Kawahara's manga is seemingly doing well with it hitting 40K this week. Hard to say if its just loyal fans or gaining new folks.

And Tsutomu Sato's new LN released this week too.

The art looks really good. Hope someone will translate it. The page is quite long, is it because it's new or because of the info dump?

And what is this?

When I see stuff like that I feel like I have the obligation to read SAO. If the new anime is good enough to motivate me I will read it.

 

[Leoat12]

I don't know Japanese, but I think it is somekind of crossover between SAO and Mahouka, kinda timely, they're for sure the most famous novels right now.

More Light Novels coming to print in English in 2015 from Yen Press.

No Game No Life - April 2015
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! (Hataraku Maō-sama) - April 2015
Log Horizon - March 2015
Pandora Hearts ~ Caucus Race - May 2015

 

[Leoat12]

No Game no Life will be published here in Brazil, I'm gonna wait for its release. Hataraku Maō-sama, I don't have much information about this one, I have to see...
As for Log Horizon, it's possible that I buy it, it's made in the same environment as Sword Art Online, but focused in other aspects, it can be interesting. A friend of mine watched the anime and he recommends it to me.
