Has anyone heard of the translation company Bento Books? They are a fairly new company aimed mostly at translating contemporary Japanese novels that probably no one would would ever have heard about outside of Japan otherwise. They only have a few titles out so far, namely Math Girls (they also released the manga version) which is supposed to be quite good (with a pretty awesome translation)...but it's about math. Yuck. However, they have a few other titles that are scheduled to come out later this year and beginning of next year that sound much more interesting to my ears. Especially Quantum Devil Saga. QDS is a retelling of the events that happened in the video game Digital Devil Saga (a spin off if the Shin Megami Tensei roleplaying games). This version is wrote by the guy who was supposed to do the storyline for DDS, but he got sick so someone else did it.
I'm just very interested in what they all might translate if they do okay (especially if QDS sells well). They might bring over some pretty cool stuff. (They do electronic and print versions).
Here's their website

Just thought I'd spread the word to see if anyone is interested. I thought it was pretty neat 😁
