It's already up for preorder on their page. Not the eden* I was wanting.

[Decay]

Ahh, this is the level of disappointment we've been waiting for, take it in boys.

edit: The least they could have done was make it a 1+2 bundle pack.

[Satsuki]

Imopara 2 or riot

Jk.

Companion? OELVN?

[VirginSmasher]

The new Sekai Project announcement didn't impress me either, but that was kinda expected from them. I wanted a little more than just a hardcover announcement from MangaGamer.

[Crayten]

So SP first announcement is *drum-roll*

Companion a VN from Taiwan ... so eh get hyped?

2nd announcement is btw I Miss Her from Korea ~

[Satsuki]

Gosh, so Companion is just another Chinese VN. I'm out.

Sakura Spirit manga...oh god why...

Our 3rd announcement at Sakura-Con is a Sakura Spirit manga adaption! More information real soon~~

 

Ahahahaha sorry but hahaha 

[littleshogun]

2nd of Sekai announcement was from South Korea. Here's the video of their announced VN 'Still, I Miss Her'.

 

[VirginSmasher]

Every Sekai Project announcement is making me inch a little closer to drinking some bleach. Especially with that Sakura Spirit adaptation.

[VirginSmasher]

I'm betting there'll be a Sakura Spirit manga kickstarter.

[littleshogun]

I just want to reply that we got Sakura Spirit manga too, oh well.

Thanks, based SP.  They knew what we really wanted, in the deepest recesses of our hearts, and they delivered.

I don't know how it's possible, but they actually disappointed me even more than I was expecting, and I was expecting crap.

 

 

[Satsuki]

Holy Crap Maitetsu?!!!!!

[VirginSmasher]

At least Sekai Project got one thing right with MaiTetsu.

[hitoribocchi]

I guess that makes up for the rest.

[Satsuki]

UN is gonna get so mad about this localization

It won't easily make up for the Sakura Spirit manga, but it's quite the treat coming from Sekai Project.

Now for the eventual Kickstarter...

[Crayten]

Pretty sure that wont get a 18+ release.

[MrBanballow]

Well, I got the minori fundraiser bit...

[littleshogun]

So, the conclusion from Sekai we got 1 Chinese VN, 1 South Korea VN, 1 infamous VN manga adoption (Will be ecchi manga if there's will be on manga scan site obviously), and 1 just released VN, eh. Oh well. Although actually just recently released VN was got some interesting seiyuu according to VNDB. Now let's see how much the fund Sekai need to localized it on their Kickstarter later.

[VirginSmasher]

I hope MangaGamer manages to deliver a bigger announcement than MaiTetsu. It doesn't look great for them right now. 

[Satsuki]

Well, big is one thing, knowing SP, I don't think Maitetsu will be released before 2020  

[littleshogun]

Oh, forget to said that Sekai also announced GATE LN pre-order. Here's their Tweet and here's the GATE LN site in case some of you want to pre-order it.

Compared to the current announcements by both companies, it is definitely the biggest announcement even if it won't be released anytime soon.
