Broccoli Books Blog

We’re at the mercy of Broccoli Japan when it comes to licensing.
Although we’ve been petitioning to have it changed & maybe things will change in October.

But for some reason, we got OK to pursue more new titles & actually got some.
The planets lined up, the tea column stood up, and the geta landed face up.

Hm.
Two of the three were Japanese expressions.
And the last one has nothing to do with luck, but with weather.
But hurray!

So here’s a brief list of soon-to-be-announced titles.

From 8/09/06 blog entry, Title Madadane.
This one, which we’re thinking of releasing in summer 2006, will probably be announced at Sakura Con. But how would that work if we want to put an ad in Disgaea 2 vol 1, which is a February 2007 release? Hmm. Time to whip out the calendar again.

And there’s Title Angel Food Cake Mix in a Box.
What a long title!
We probably won’t release this until Q3 2007, so the announcement will come sometime between Sakura Con & Fanime. The first ad will be in Galaxy Angel II vol 2, probably.

And there’s Title Calendar Girls.
As the name implies, it’s a moe title. (lie)
If all goes well, this will be released in Q3 2007. But it’s hard to tell, because it’s going to take a while before the next volume comes out in Japan (so I heard).

And there’s Title Trekkie Paradise.
This code name is very misleading. But it’s hard to come up with a code name for titles with very few letters.
This one will be announced soon. Probably next month. We were hoping to couple it with another Title X during the announcement, so hopefully we’ll have more than one to announce.

I don’t think I left out anything.

Well there’s a few more that’s being warmed by the hen (I think that’s a Japanese saying too), so maybe there will be more leaks when President Kaname comes back from his licensing trip to Japan during Tokyo Game Show.
