| Happy to see that Yen Press have finally licensed the Oregairu novels. Will definitely be buying those when they're released. I'm disappointed that they didn't get Overlord though, but I'm grateful enough for Oregairu. |
| Very interested in the Baccano novel news. Pleasant way to see this during the weekends! |
 |
| I Think these things will never happen in my country.. unless when I will be very old and I still doubt about it :/ Maybe internet will save me. |
| Baccano! coming out in English. Who would of thought that this day would come. |
| Oh my lord. Hell yeah. |
| Another is must buy. |

Calculus94 said: You're jumping the gun way too quickly. Wait for the Overlord anime to air and for the hype/exposure to increase because anime is a much more accessible medium. I can almost guarantee you Overlord will get licensed. MMO genre is insanely popular here in the west, and as proof you can see it in how SAO, Log Horizon, and DanMachi got licensed. I hope that's true, cos I really enjoyed what little of the novel I did read before the anime announcement. Even more so if Madhouse butcher the adaptation. But yeah, I'm probably jumping the gun way too quickly on that. As they have done with these acquisitions today, I'm sure they'll deliver again with Overlord and other popular/good LNs in due course (hopefully Rokka No Yuusha as well, assuming that does well). |
| the day sekirei gets licensed is finally here, shame its digitally only. It would've been nice to put it on the shelf next to the original japanese release |
| . |
| Baccano and Oregairu ? Finally i'll have something new to buy aside from Index But i can't help but wonder how are they gonna do with Oregairu. Watari always put tons of local references on each volume. |

| Wow, Oregairu!!! Will definitely buy that one!! |
| Oregairu was already translated so i couldnt care less...All the things should be licenced and translated to english...Its year 2015... |
 |
| Oregairu finally gets an english release. |
| Dammit Yen Press... Stop making my "plan to buy" list even bigger!! |
>tfw Youtube can't let me have nice things  |
| Official Oregairu? FUCK YEAH. Purchasing that as soon as it hits the shelf. |

LastChapter said: Sorry if it's a foolish question but what do you mean by westernize the translations?Admittedly, Baccano was of no surprise as links to the PDFs of fan translations were getting DMCA'd along with takedown requests to certain sites. Oregairu though was quite the surprise. I asked Yen Press though whether they will westernize the translations like they did with their other series. They said it's undecided, but if keeping the Japanese style is needed, then they will be flexible to change the status quo. |
 |
| Wow! I would love to read Baccano!! I hope they translate past the anime ASAP! It's a hit here. Also hope TPP makes America a lucrative market for JP, and they would capitalize on that. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Based Yen Press. |
| Tutturu ~ |
| thank god i dont care how muc it will cost em im geting baccnao light novels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
 |
| Now I need to watch Baccano since the light novel is coming out. First Durarara and now Baccano. Im going to be broke. |
| Oh, so they are really licensing baccano? That novel doesn't work at all in japan, so very surprised. Among all the novel they licensed lately, that's by far the one whop sells the less I think. I honestly thought that this title would never be licensed due to this. (BTW It sells so bad that we aren't even getting one new volume since almost two years currently, even though the story is almost at the end. Even hakomari fans didn't have toi wait that long for a new volume (well, haruhi fans had and still have it worse ^^" ) ). Hope that the fact that they're licencing is going to be a bit of a incentive for Narita sensei to finally finish that series that he abandoned since almost two years to write stuff like durarara and fate/strange fake. We're at 21 volume and only lacking 3-5 to finish the story according to the author, so it would be nice. Waiting since October 2013 for the 22th volume is long. As for Oregairu, now that's a series selling very well and which is also near its end. (Should have maybe 2 more volumes?). Good news for both anyway. Yen press is really doing a great job to spread the LN in the west. (and wow, they're licencing a lot of manga as well). |
 |
| Yen press are doing some pretty awesome thing recently. Kizumonogatari is coming soon too! |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| God...All this news recently are killing me!! From the One Punch Man to Tokyo Pops revivel to LOTGH geting licensed to Princes Jellyfish and now THISSSSS!!! Guess I will need a part time job for this greatness... |
 |
| Baccano? Finally! |
LoneWizard said: Oregairu was already translated so i couldnt care less...All the things should be licenced and translated to english...Its year 2015... With what? Yen would need a hella amount of money just to get the license in the first place. Also it takes a lot of money to print materials and to pay the translators. If manga/LNs were just as popular over here as they are in Japan then getting everything wouldn't be a problem, but anime/manga is a niche market here so to cover cost of license and print costs they slap a $12 price on their releases. I'm glad some series I really enjoyed the past couple years have been popular enough to have official releases in the US. Only thing that hasn't yet is I think Akatsuki no Yona and the K manga/novels. |

| AX has been wonderful this year with all the announcements. LoGH, Higurashi, Princess Jellyfish, Utena Bluray, the supposed localisation of MuvLuv VN, and now these two light novels. My wallet will be dead for a while. |
| Disappear. This chair is an eyesore. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. |
| Well the light novel for Baccano should be 100x better than the anime so may buy it when it comes out. |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |
Hot damn yes! Thank you, Yen Press! This is a must-buy! Even better news is that Yen Press will be keeping Oregairu's original English title, My Youth Romantic Comedy is Wrong as I Expected, not the SNAFU nonsense. |
| I can die happily after reading OreGairu. Lol FINALLY! |
 |
| Good news, but Yen Press will take forever to reach the Volumes Nanodesu & Kyakka covered so far. Will still collect them though. |
 |
| Baccano + Oregairu = YES |
 |
| Im definitely gonna buy Baccano's novels. |
