MangaGamer has announced four new visual novel titles at Anime Expo 2019. We take a look what to expect from the publisher in the near future.

At this year’s Anime Expo convention in Los Angeles, California, MangaGamer announced four new title acquisitions at their panel. The announcements included titles from Liquid, Alice Soft, and Waffle.

The titles announced are all from current partnerships, and include Liquid's Eternal Torment ~An Immortal Girl's Dance of Disgrace~, AliceSoft's Rance 01 -Quest for Hikari- and Rance 02 -The Rebellious Maidens-, and Waffle's Funbag Fantasy: Sideboob Story 2. The Rance titles will be packaged and released together as a single product at launch.

As of right now, MangaGamer has stated on Twitter that their release of Rance 02 will include the "Kai" content; however, MangaGamer's blog states the contrary, and that due to the unofficial nature of the original "Kai" patch, they are looking into possibly releasing it as a separate patch from the final product, with more details to come at a later date. For those unfamiliar, the "Kai" patch for Rance 02 provided an acclaimed major reworking of the original game's script.

For your reading pleasure, below you will find more information and sample CGs for the newly announced titles.

Ten years ago in the town of Custom, four young girls were appointed as disciples to the old mage Ragithis. They were to be raised as mages and then to work as town's guardians.

That rings are giving a great boost of magical power to it's bearers, but also able to steal magic power from virgin sorceresses and after collecting magic power of 40 maidens anyone could use these rings to obtain unlimited power. The leader of girls, Masou Shizuka, figured out Ragithis's plan and rebelled against him but it was too late - cursed rings could not be removed and the curse started to dive maidens crazy.
