I originally scanned the headline and thought it said 'Toradora: Reincarnated as a Sword' and thought it was announcing another new isekai series!
The fact that reincarnation stories have gotten so weird that it doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility anymore did make me laugh! Oh, and more manga/light-novel/anime getting released as audiobooks is always cool to see. |

I thought the same. Speaking of which, why is only Toradora in quotes? |

Calibre, a reader software I use on my pc to read novels, has a text-to-speech ability. It's a bit rough and lifeless still, but compared to previously when it would sometimes bug out it's a lot better now.
Audiobooks don't really interest me much I rather read, but it's nice to have such a capability if fancy ever strikes. Actually, a volume of Reincarnated as a Sword was what I experimented with it on not long ago. |

Props to getting Cassandra Lee back for the Toradora audiobooks...though isn't it from the 1st person POV for Ryuji most of the time? At least she'll nail Taiga's lines.

IIRC the Toradora! light novels use third person narration. |

FYI, everyone, Seven Seas apparently didn't notify Audible about these release dates, because the books are all available now.
First person, but it's tight on Ryuuji's POV 90% of the time, with occasional flashes to other characters. So a little weird having a woman read the book, but I think it's fitting for the tone of the stroy. |

No more off than having a dude read the female-heavy Seishun Buta Yarou series (which is fantastic, btw). |
