Publisher Mag Garden announced earlier this week that it is re-launching the dormant Mag Garden Novels publishing label, which initially began in 2004. The announcement was made in the June 2016 issue of Comic Garden, which went on sale on May 2.

It will be re-launched to publish collaboration novels, as well works published in the Shousetsuka ni Narou online portal for aspiring authors. A line-up of titles scheduled through August 2016 has been announced.

If they are as good as enterbrain to select the good ones from Narou and as dedicated to ameliorate them afterwards, that could be good. If they're not, then that won't lead to anything , at least for me.

Nice, I was afraid they would be running out of crap to animate. Never stop making them LNs, Nippon.

I'm kinda curious to see how the Koutetsujou no Kabaneri series will compare to the anime.

Trains and Isekai; can't go wrong with those elements. Rail Wars!' author reappears with yet another locomotive series, this time involving Military instead of Police. The illustration cover is nice, at least.

I'm surprised that he isn't working on Koutetsujou no Kabaneri

They want a piece of the Isekai money pie, can't blame them for trying :)

Oooh Kabaneri.
I hope it'll be successful so they could publish more in the future.

Can't wait.
