I'm super excited to read the novel for Josee, the tiger and the fish and BSD Woof! The anime for the latter was one of the best short-form anime series I've watched.

I'm not really interested in sports manga but I might give Run on your new legs a shot as the premise seems really interesting!

If it's half as good as one I'm reading in French, Blade Girl: Kataashi no Runner by Narumi Shigematsu, it should be great. (Published as Running Girl in French.)

I didn't know Mimimi had her own spinoff. Neat!

Mimimi spin off got licensed? Cool. I'll pick that up.
Also, I don't care if the manga turns out bad the fact that it's called "Catch these hands!" makes it an instant buy.

Some nice looking Yuri and possible Yuri on here. the ones with the rival families and the school rivals definitely come off as Yuri, not sure if Eris is Yuri or not. Could be, I'd love if it were. if not, it could still be good, I just don't generally buy manga/LN outside of Yuri(exceptions include Witch Hat Atelier, and the occasional Shoujo manga)

I enjoyed the movie of "Josee, the Tiger and the Fish" but I won't be reading the novel as it seems quite different in ways that are less appealing to me.

Goblin Slayer TRPG, great surprise!! Guess that means we'll get the sequel of the game book as well!

Wonder how much context from the Tomozaki novels/anime one would need to read the Mimimi manga and not get spoiled

Damn, Josee's suddenly gotten popular nowadays, hasn't it? First the anime movie, then a Korean live-action one, and now the original novel is getting licensed? I might check it out to see how different it is from the movie versions, but that'll depend on what its actually like. Definitely interested in the Run With Your New Legs manga.

As far as I know it's like a spin off AU. So pretty much all you have to know is who Mimimi is.

Holy Grail of Eris and Shut-In Vampire Princess sound interesting. Gonna check them out when they release.

Shame that once again three titles here have only their manga licensed and not their LNs (Cross-Dressing Villainess, Fiancée Chosen by the Ring, Wolf Never Sleeps). I hate this practice.

Well, I don't know about the others, but the Cross-dressing Villianess novels were already licensed: https://www.rightstufanime.com/Cross-Dressing-Villainess-Cecilia-Sylvie-Novel-Volume-1
