It wouldn’t be a Yen Press licensing announcement without some SAO representation.

I'd rather have a new volume of Progressive than a new work, but I'll check it out...

A Jujutsu Kaisen BL manga!? Kidding, but that sure does look like Yuji on the cover.

So would I, but one hasn't been written yet, so. . .

(Another main series novel would be nice, but the English release is caught up there, too.)

The Monster Wants To Eat Me also sounds a bit interesting.

So they're doing manga of the SAO side stories now? Cool.

'Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra' is my personal favorite of this bunch.
Gamers might like it, as sort of a 'what if'. I am just happy to see the light novel adapted into manga.

'A Sinner of the Deep Sea' seems interesting and the cover art looks nice.

'Sister and Giant: A Young Lady Is Reborn in Another World' also seems interesting, hopefully the art will bring it to life.

Looking forward to getting A Sinner of the Deep Sea and Sister and Giant: A Young Lady Is Reborn in Another World. Had read some of them from fan translations and both were interesting.

Hinako in Sister and Giant is an interesting character, because she has rather firm religious beliefs, so her actions are greatly influenced by that. The vow of sisterhood between her and Eiris also is the same type as from Maria-sama ga Miteru and parodied in Yuri is my Job. Of an interesting note it's the twisting of that sisterly bond that plays a major role in Hinako's backstory and in shaping who she is and her actions. The world setting is also somewhat similar to The Executioner and Her Way of Life.

A Monster Wants to Eat Me is a shockingly dark yet good read so far. Be warned it is very psychological though and focuses a lot on suicidal ideation and, frankly, on how people who love you can't always stop you from ending your own life, no matter how hard they try.

Id rather them announce the release date for Volume 13 of Sword Oratoria than ANOTHER SAO thing to be honest.

Would be nice to finish main story first. But Reki doing many LN at once brings a question "what we will see first, last chapter of One Piece, or last volume of SAO?"

He mentions it as ongoing in the afterward to Demon's Crest, but Covid really messed up his work schedule (he use to write in family restaurants and couldn't adjust to an office) and he only got out one book in 2023, so...

Good to know it's being thought of.

Well, yes, I'm definitely awaiting that one, too, even though it is supposed to be Lefiya-focused. At least v18 of the main series is due out in English in a couple of weeks (if it doesn't get delayed again).
