@NtwelveM It'll be funny when it's time for Amid and Heith and they potentially do the same thing there. Episode Freya does use a different font and logo versus the two Episode Ryu (Lyu) volumes so I guess they'll be making new logos each time there's a new central character.
Not sure why it's considered a "new series announcement" considering it's simply the next installment of "Familia Chronicle" following Episode Ryu 2, but I'm excited for the release.
NEW SERIES ANNOUNCEMENT: Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Familia Chronicle Episode Asfi
Asfi is never not busy, so it takes some doing to get her to accept a quest to investigate a mysterious ship that keeps showing up recently. But when she, Hermes Familia, and Lyu board the vessel, they are attacked by a horde of ghosts! While enduring an endless stream of inexplicable phenomena, the ship takes them to a place that shouldn’t exist—Asfi’s lost homeland.
Happy to see this after I mentioned wanting to read the prequel novel in a video of mine. Great timing for the announcement too since S2 of the anime is currently airing.
A second prequel novel is releasing in JP next month so hopefully we see that come as well.
NEW SERIES ANNOUNCEMENT: Wistoria: Wand and Sword
Will and his childhood friend Elfaria enroll at Regarden Magical Academy, each with their own challenges to overcome. Even among the incredible mages at the academy, Elfaria quickly shows her talents and is scouted to join the Tower, the group at the very heart of magical society. Will, on the other hand, considers himself talentless and falls into despair…but in that despair, he draws a blade. In a world of wands run by the Magia Vander, one young boy alone wields a sword!
A prequel to the smash hit manga series written by the original author!
@SentaiFilmworks has put up both #DanMachi S5 Premium and Regular blu-ray releases for pre-order on their website. The most notable item in the Premium box set is the 88-page booklet which likely contains the short stories that were included in the JP releases. Links below ⬇️
Three new installments across the various DanMachi light novel series have been announced for this upcoming Winter in Japan. Main Series Vol 22 to release in December 2026, Sword Oratoria Vol 17 in January 2027, and Episode Amid in February 2027.
I thought this one would be a lower priority compared to rest of the DanMachi backlog but happy to see it coming! Hopefully we get some news on Episode Asfi in the near future too.
NEW SERIES ANNOUNCEMENT: Argonaut: Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Tales of Heroes
Behold, the chronicle of the first hero!
This is a tale of a distant past, long before the gods’ blessing came to the land. It is the legend of an adventurer still told to this very day. He was by no means history’s strongest or most inspiring, so how exactly did Argonaut reach such famed heights? The perfect opportunity to claim his rightful title presents itself when the king summons the land’s mightiest warriors for an all-important quest, but the young fool comes to realize he may have bitten off more than he can chew… The curtain rises on a comedy that echoes through the ages!
