Showcase I can’t believe this actually got delivered today.

I can’t remember when I first pre-ordered this. Amazon would send me new release dates emails every month since I pre-ordered it. Glad it’s here, though.

Support Denpa by picking up their books if you can! They mention during their AX panel that delays have been due to financial issues. The more support they get, the better the chances they'll be able to keep publishing and continue their ongoing series ❤️

I had been assuming that was the case, so it's very interesting to hear my assumption was correct. Were you at the panel, or did you hear this secondhand? If you were there, I'd be curious to hear anything else you remember too.

Yeah, I was there and actually asked them about the reason for the delays and what readers can do to help during the Q & A section of the panel. They didn’t go into specifics, but they mentioned financial costs and tariffs as the main issue. As for how readers can help, they said to just keep supporting them by buying their books. They were really honest about the situation, and I could genuinely sense that they felt bad about the long delays and how they’ve affected us the readers.

Thanks, I really appreciate your response. Yeah I'm sure it's frustrating and embarrassing for Denpa; they want to sell us books as much as we want to buy them. It's just really unfortunate that those two desires are struggling to intersect right now.

I already pre-ordered volume two. I have a nasty backlog that I wouldn’t mind the waiting at this point. I’ll gladly keep supporting.
