Oh shit yes
This is my favorite light novel series that I've finished. I hope the translation's good and everyone likes it.

So I don't post often but this is great news. Been waiting for this to be licensed for very long as it is one of the best light novels atm

Fantastic! This is such a good series. I've only read about 2/3rds of it, but it's really a quality work. Definitely picking this up.
Unrelated, but now to hope for Seishun Buta Yarou, unless that one has also been licensed by somebody..?

AWESOME! I lost hope some time ago, and now I'm actually quite surprised. Can't wait to get the first volume, but WHEN? I don't want to wait ~6 months... Waiting will be hard...

Great series. I really didn't think this was going to get licensed.

Ah, ever since I stumbled across online conversation on this series, I've been wanting to read it. Now, since it's been licensed, I know I definitely will be reading this series.
2016 has really crossed off some LN/manga series that I've been hoping to see licensed off my list. HakoMari and Aho Girl were 2 I wasn't expecting to see crossed off for a long while (or at all).

Well 20 dollars per volume by yenpress is only slightly unreasonable
But seriously, I would be psyched if yenpress didn't ask such a retardedly high amount for light novels. Just look at what happened for Baccano. Would you buy a 200 page or less book in hard cover? F*** no, but now you have to, becaus how else are you gonna read this series now?

1) Where have you seen an announcement that this'll get a hardback release?
2) If it does, I will gladly pony up extra. The series is that good, and I'd love to have a hardcover on my shelves.
3) That said, $20 is MSRP. If you order through Amazon, it will almost certainly be under $15. In fact, I just checked my order history and the first volume of The Isolator was under $10.
4) Baccano has an ebook version for $7.99.

Lol I forgot about that. That's gotta be the way to go. For 8 dollars that's a great deal. I'd prefer a physical copy but whatever I can settle with this.
Also I bet that Zero's gonna be in hardcover. I say this because Yenpress has been going hard on releasing new series in hard cover. I feel like they have the same idea with Zero as they do with baccano and that is to sell a more 'collectible' pricy item for the series with more cult followings. So essentialy what Japan does with Blu Rays.
