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.

  • Ota07: Non-news from Geneon

    Okay, I finished the last damn Harry Potter book, so let’s get back to business.

    Japanator, if you hadn’t noticed, is my source of choice. (Bias because of Professor Oak, a.k.a. Dale North, a.k.a. former animeOnline coworker? Probably!)

    Aaaand next up on their roster is the Geneon panel. Apparently everyone was so busy wanting to drink that no one announced anything new, but they have some good pics of the Saiunkoku Monogatari box, which is considerably more attractive than the actual series.

    Since that’s fairly unexciting, here: lesbian smut!
