No kidding! The real question is, do they only have the novels originally released by Tokyopop, or do they have (and will release) all of them this time?

EDIT: Oh, and Roll Over and Die in audiobook form is pretty sweet, too.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!

Every time new licenses get announced, I hope against hope to see 12 Kingdoms. But the day is finally here! Incredible! Exciting! Enervating! You can be damned certain I'll be picking up multiple copies of each book!

I don't think they'd have the license to only sell some of the books in the series and not others, or at least I can't think of any past instances where that's been the case (outside of cases where the original series switched publishers or something and resumed under a different title, sometimes with a different publisher).

I'll be happy just to just see digital copies made available, too, even if we don't get the full series... but, I mean, ideally we get everything *and* deluxe physical editions, like those faux-leather hardcovers JNC did for Slayers and Full Metal Panic.

I'm so happy we're getting 12 Kingdoms again! I've been wanting this ever since Tokyopop went out of business.

So Himegasaki Sakurako is a Losing Childhood Friend finally getting to find love! I can dig it!

Sexy romance with a JSDF member? Cool!

The male lead sounds like a tough sell in "I'll forget you starting today, Senpai."

So I take it in BL Game Rebirth the MC hooks up with one of the non-chosen guys? But since it's a woman in a male body...is it still BL...?

Twelve Kingdom! Awesome!

I did a spit take upon seeing that image pop up. Can't believe we're finally getting Twelve Kingdoms again! And hopefully Seven Seas will, at the very least, get further than Tokyopop did.

FINALLY! Twelve Kingdoms deserves some love! My hope is that it does well enough that maybe they'll consider remaking the anime.
