Your letter!!! I’m so glad it got a physical version, it’s just so absolutely amazing and I’m curious on how they’ll translate the webtoon panels over to a normal book

License of Tokyo Babylon makes me wonder if we'll see the other recent Clamp Premium Edition series get brought over. I really like the covers for them, and the colors chosen for the backgrounds. (Been meaning to collect the xxxHolic manga...)
A bit curious about Glitch. I guess I'm immediately curious if anything strikes me as even remotely Lain-ish.

Awwwww YEEEEAHHHH!!! Bocchi The Rock and The Deer King!! Hell yeah!! I'm buying both for sure! I can't wait to actually read the source novels for Deer King and compare it to the movie! I really liked the movie, even if it was really dense, so you can bet I'm buying both the manga and the novel for that!

So many great titles I'm excited for! Bocchi the Rock!, Tokyo Babylon, Glitch, and The Red Thread are all instant preorders for me

I'm surprised Yen Press got Tokyo Babylon of all people, I expected Kodansha since they've done most of the CLAMP rescues recently. Still really excited though!
Minato Shouji Coin Laundry! I've been collecting the JP volumes so I'm excited to finally have ones I can read

That's a surprise, getting Overgeared.
I figured, with the buyout of Wuxiaworld, and the novel being translated by them, they would get first crack at releasing the manga. To be fair, they probably did and passed, but interesting nevertheless.

Cheerful Amnesia is one I've been wanting for a while. Very happy to see it licensed.

The titles Kodansha rescued were all from Kodansha JP, iirc, and the new Tokyo Babylon edition is with Kadokawa, so it makes a lot more sense for Yen to get it.
What I'm surprised by is that someone decided that Tokyo Babylon needed to get a third English release now. Not when that anime adaptation was supposed to come out, but now, a couple of years after it would've aired. I'd like to know what went on there behind the scenes, whether it was just a question of waiting for the new edition to be available or something else. All of that just seemed like companies didn't expect the series to actually get the attention it did.

I’m surprised Kodansha didn’t grab Tokyo Babylon

I wish to God that Dark Horse would just drop Eromanga Sensei and Yen Press would pick it up so it could be fully adapted. Dark Horse is doing wrong by leaving it at the third volume.

The only title here that really catches my attention personally is Jungle Juice. I find it to be an extremely good yet very underrated action series. Can't wait for Season 2!

... I am trying very, very, very hard to convince myself not to buy Tokyo Babylon for a 3rd time. I had the original Tokyopop volumes, then I got the Dark Horse omnibuses. I love this series, but it's a lesser love of CLAMP's works. Compared to Cardcaptor Sakura, which I love very much and was able to convince myself to buy that one three times.
But I'm looking at the covers for the Premium Collection, and lordy, those are tempting as all get out. They look absolutely gorgeous. I feel like, if I don't buy these, I'll regret it, but again... 3rd time. I don't know if I really need to buy this for a 3rd time. This is painful. Very, very painful. Lordy help me if the xxxHolic Premium Collection is ever licensed, because those are even more gorgeous and there's 19 of them. Just... all the oof on my wallet. CLAMP always finds a way to make me want to buy multiples of everything that I've already own. Not sure if I should love or hate that.
