Nice! Been reading some chapters of Sound! Euphonium novels a few months ago from elsewhere but really happy to see Yen Press for picking it up. Can't wait to get it in the future.

I was hoping for an English release of Magical Girl Raising Project and I'm pleasantly surprised to see it actually come to fruition. Thanks, Yen Press!

It is interesting to see that J-Novel Club got the Grimgar novels while Yen Press got the manga. I wonder if the two will ever be willing to work together to release a print version; I'm sure it's of great interest to many light novel fans.

This is a great trio of licenses. I never honestly expected to see the original novels for Sound Euphonium to be licensed, so this should be a treat, and Magical Girl Raising Project has been an interesting series, so I'm looking forward to checking it out. And then there's the Grimgar manga license which has me super pleased. I adored the anime and am eager to add the manga to my collection.

I really hope that's an autocorrect mistake.

the grimgar magna is quite different in tone, compared to the anime, even if the base plot is the same.

Ignore him. He is just mad that he actually has to pay for his anime instead of reading free fan translations.

I know right, it's so disgusting to pay for the work of others!

I'm gonna assume it's more lighthearted then? Or is it more gory?

Yeah, that is interesting, considering that J-Novel club says it has no plans to do print editions of its stuff, and is doing ebooks of its LNs (on Kindle, iBooks, etc) once all the chapters have been published through the website and the mobile app.

Really? Considering how amazing the anime adaptation is I actually expected them to be licensed sooner.
