Books, video games, and anime coming out in July that I am excited for

I got the images I have used in this post off of google images
synopsis's from Goodreads, Funimation 
Books and manga

1) Cinderella is Dead by Kalynn Bayron 
Cinderella Is Dead by Kalynn Bayron
Synopsis: "200 years after Cinderella found her prince the fairy tale is over. Teen girls are now required to appear at the Annual Ball, where the men of the kingdom select wives based on a girl's display of finery. If a suitable match is not found, the girls not chosen are never heard from again. Sixteen-year-old Sophia would much rather marry Erin, her childhood best friend, than a parade in front of suitors. At the ball, Sophia makes the desperate decision to flee and finds herself hiding in Cinderella's mausoleum. There, she meets Constance, the last known descendant of Cinderella and her stepsisters. Together they vow to bring down the king once and for all and in the process, they learn that there's more to Cinderella's story than they ever knew..."

This book sounds amazing. I also am a huge fan of fairy tale retellings which is why this book is definitely on my Wishlist.

Release Date: July 7

2) The Princess Will Save You by Sarah Henning
The Princess Will Save You by Sarah Henning
Synopsis: "When her father dies, Princess Amarande is given an ultimatum: Marry the leader of one of the four neighbouring kingdoms, or lose her crown - and possibly her life. And to force her hand, her beloved, the stable boy Luca, is kidnapped. But Amarande was raised to be a warrior, not a sacrifice. And nothing will stop her from saving her true love and rescuing her kingdom."

This book sounds like it is going to be very interesting. I also like books that feature a female protagonist who is passionate about doing things herself.

Release Date: July 7

3) The Damned by Renée Ahdieh
The Damned (The Beautiful, #2) by Renée Ahdieh
This book is a sequel to The Beautiful which takes place in 1872 New Orleans. This series has many things including mystery, intrigue, and vampires. As I have not read The Beautiful yet I will have to wait to pick this one up until after I read The Beautiful.
Another thing this series has going for it is the covers are absolutely beautiful.

Release Date: July 7
Published by: G.P. Putnam's Sons Books for Young Readers

4) Daytime Shooting Star, Vol. 7 by Mika Yamamori
Daytime Shooting Star, Vol. 7 by Mika Yamamori

5) Snow White with the Red Hair, Vol. 8 by Sorata Akiduki
Amazon.com: Snow White with the Red Hair, Vol. 8 eBook: Akiduki ...
I am so excited for this volume release. I love Snow White with the Red Hair. This is the eighth volume in a series following Shiriyuki who happens to have red hair which is extremely rare in this world. While fleeing her country due to the fact that the prince of Tanbarun wants to force her to be his concubine she runs into the neighbouring countries prince. This story follows the journey that Shiryuki takes in finding herself, friendship, and love. I highly recommend this series.

Video Game

- Fairy Tail
Fairy Tail | Nintendo Switch | GameStop
This is the one game I am most anticipating coming out in July. It will be released on Steam, PS4, and the Nintendo Switch. This game is an open-world JRPG set in Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail universe. I am so excited to play through the game as I really loved the anime. This is probably one I will pick up on release day if there isn't a pre-purchase option.
Another thing that is really cool about this game is that the company that is doing it also did the Atelier games.
Release Date: July 30, 2020
This game is developed by Gust Co. Ltd.
Published by: Koei Tecmo, Koei Tecmo America Corporation

Anime: 

- Deca-Dance 
Deca-Dence - MyAnimeList.net

Director: Yuzuru Tachikawa
Studio NUT
Premier Date: July 8

Synopsis: "Many years have passed since humanity was driven to the brink of extinction by the sudden emergence of the unknown life forms Gadoll. Those humans that survived now dwell in a 3000 meter-high mobile fortress Deca-dence built to protect themselves from the Gadoll threat.

Denizens of Deca-dence fall into two categories: Gears, warriors who fight the Gadoll daily, and Tankers, those without the skills to fight. One day, Natsume, a Tanker girl who dreams of becoming a Gear meets surly Kaburagi, an arbor repairman of Deca-dence.

This chance meeting between the seemingly two opposites, the girl with a positive attitude who never gives up on her dreams and the realist who has given up on his, will eventually shake the future course of this world."

This anime sounds absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to start watching it.

These are just some of the things I am excited about which are coming out in July. What things are you excited about that are being released in July comment down below.
