I felt all the blood drain from my face when this happen this is great news indeed, Also I'll be shilling this heavily and I except you'll all do the same. If this does well enough this company could end up picking up the GXP stuff as well maybe.

I've been waiting for this since 2005, when I first learned that the novels were under consideration for licensing. As it turned out, it was felt the market for light novels wasn't there yet to justify the cost of translating/publishing the novels.

As an aside, if we want more Tenchi novels translated (especially something long like the GXP novels), sales of the Shin Tenchi Muyo! novels will need to be really, really good.

Yes. We all need to buy these novels, so we can get the GXP ones translated as well.

Very much so!

It is great news. The story of Azusa, Seto, Funaho, Misaki, Yosho, Airi, Washu, Nadja are wonderful, so I hope you enjoy it.
Seto's behavior in this series is very cool.

That moment we're FINALLY being recognized again...



Real talk though (Aside from the "go buy these" comments that literally everyone else here AND their kitchen sinks have already made, which means I won't have to make that comment), the fact that Kadokawa was willing to license the True Tenchi novels in the first place, something that I thought would NEVER be licensed, means that they might still care about the western fanbase after all.  Hopefully, this gives a good kick in the pants to anyone in any relevant position of power who even shows remote interest in securing a western license for OVA 4.  :)

...you know what, I'm gonna say it anyway.  We need to buy these.

Is anybody willing to write some advertisement pages for the Tenchi Muyo novels in the Tenchi Muyo wiki that I take care of? It might help the sales.

Kadokawa. It's always been Kadokawa for print media.

And of course, I'm in.

P.S.- it's good to have a real keyboard again. ;)

All the way down to a rock hard boner? That's how I felt anyhow. Can't wait to zone out while pounding down these stories; reaching that perfect level of immersion where you gotta keep reading and can't stop.
