From the bishoujo/moe characters on the covers it seems obvious that they are aiming at the moe/otaku market... so this is most likely a shounen light novel label.
And yeah, I'm back to bringing news >_<

That actually sounds very interesting. Unfortunately, my English is not so good, but I'll follow the label a little bit, and watch what it makes in future. Maybe there's something which is also what might be for me. At least I'm still generally interested in such things. I find this whole Manga novels are becoming more extensive and sophisticated. As you should already trying to stay up to date. It's worth it.
