A few announcements from good ol’ 7S (see liveblog thread):

  • First, they’ll be dropping their manga prices from $10.99 to $9.99. Yaaaaay.
  • Their yaoi line will be called the “Bee Line,” presumably so it can use the acronym BL (which also stands for “Boys Love,” of course).
  • Their light novels will, from now on, come in the same size as the original Japanese size, due out early next year.
  • Once the third volume of OEL series Destiny’s Hand comes out, they’ll be releasing it in a single-volume omnibus edition, which they also want to do with their other OEL series as much as possible.

    And for new licenses:

  • Hayate X Blade (”Hayate Cross Blade”) manga by Shizuru Hayashiya (pictured)
  • Akatsukiiro no Seifuku Majou (”The Girl in the Dawn-Colored Uniform”) by Mera Hakamada (who also did The Last Uniform)
  • Girls Life (light novel)
  • Girls Revolution (light novel)

    Another interesting tidbit - they say that they have several anime companies interested in the award-winning OEL title Hollow Fields by Madeleine Rosca.
