My reaction to Phoenix Gramedia's new titles announcement (2024/06/19: updated to article link): Read more
- Rascal Does Not Dream of a Bunny Girl Senpai (manga)
It was already announced before this, so not surprised. A bit too bad it's the manga instead of the original light novel, but I'm still looking forward to it!! I hope the light novel will get picked up, too
- Lycoris Recoil (manga and LN)
SURPRISE OMG.
- The Summer Hikaru Died
HUH????? FOR REAL?!?!?!
I know it's not technically BL now or something but still...I'm REALLY surprised. The most shocking new title announcement ever for me. I'd never thought it'd get published here at all...
Whoever managed to license it, thank you very much!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Let's see how it goes 👀🙏
- Re: ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- (LN)
I KNEW THIS WOULD EVENTUALLY GET PUBLISHED!! I'M REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THAT!!!
- My Happy Marriage (LN)
OMG!!! FOR REAL?!?!?! FINALLY, SOMETHING THAT CATERS TO GIRLS...THANK YOU 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏
The anime was very very successful (even reached quite mainstream audience, I believe?) so I guess that's why lol
I hope more this will open up the path for more LNs for girls to get published in the future!! Most of the titles from Phoenix Gramedia so far has been for men...I understand why, they're all popular titles, but still...
- Eminence in Shadow (LN)
After the manga, comes the LN! Yay!! I actually came to love the series thanks to the manga, but I haven't read the LN and haven't finished the anime lol. I haven't bought the manga yet, though...
- 3 LNs from SB Creative publisher
Phoenix Gramedia is a cooperation between Gramedia Indonesia and KADOKAWA. Is SB Creative a part of KADOKAWA? I'm not sure. If not, this is very interesting. Though it also makes sense they want to get these 3 titles as they're all popular
The lineup side-by-side tickled me for some reason lol
Update 2024/06/20: Just checked Wikipedia and SB Creative isn't part of KADOKAWA!! So Phoenix Gramedia is starting to publish titles from other publishers, too!! Very interesting
I believe some of these titles are a bit risque. I wonder if there will be censorship?
Oh man, so many interesting titles...and they aren't cheap. Even the manga is a bit more expensive (65K VS 45K, which is already expensive). How will I be able to buy them all?? I haven't even bought "86 - Eighty Six" (LN) volume 2 yet!! 😭😭😭 (It was honestly a bit painful to miss the pre-order this time, as I pre-ordered volume 1 and got a freebie...well the freebies aren't much, I'm not even interested in the map, but still!!) I really need to graduate and get a job ASAP to fund my hobbies orz
