  Ah I see someone else suggested Tsuki ga Michibiku, I've read read manga a bit but can't get my hands on the LN it seems, all that I've found is a kinda awkward TL of the webnovel. But I hear the JP publishers refuse to even talk about other language translations.

  @jjch102296 said in Make a new topic for each series suggestion!: @rahul-balaggan still it doesn't make it any less frustrating. I mean if they would notify someone saying a number of votes will get interested and would consider it more likely. Or they would tell us that the novel we want isn't able to be able to license by J-Novel. I am really sorry but I am the impatient type. They have licensed books that don't even have a suggestion topic, and they have licensed books that have a ton of votes. Nothing you do can guarantee anything from JNC's side, and they oftentimes can't discuss details on their dealings in order to maintain good relationships with LN companies. novel we want isn't able to be able to license by J-Novel Frankly, they do tell us this stuff, just not necessarily on the forums. You can follow their Twitter or CuriousCat for these kinds of tidbits. Otherwise, just pay attention to the licensing discussions that have gone on.

  Witch of Tata? <looks at Volume covers> Witch of Tata('s) indeed... No but the story does look pretty interesting. I'd read it for sure.

  Wouldn't mind seeing this title get picked up, but I have no understanding of how companies in Japan have business relationships and such. Just gonna add myself to the list of people out there so the fine folks at JNC know there is potential market demand for this series.

  Interested. I like the "Been summoned once, finished, and am back again" setup. I've seen it once or twice in some other series. But this one sounds charming enough that I would read it.

  @Wellwisher This one sure sounds good, but that IS a huge, glaring flaw you mentioned.... I don't know if my heart is ready to accept a story that'll fizzle out again....

  I must admit, I had high hopes for this series initially, at the same level as Death March due to the slice of life feel... But as the volumes went on, I just lost my connection to the series and if the above hint is correct that it ended prematurely, then I guess the sentiment is shares.

  Would not mind reading this, but man that anime was BAD. I thought the story was interesting but it was SO hard to watch the anime.

  @darkangel1992 Kadokawa (the JP Publisher) is notoriously tough to convince to license their works out to anyone other than Yen Press. Yen Press is another English Publisher, but their stock majority is owned by Kadokawa so it's essentially a subsidiary of Kadokawa. Thus, Kadokawa likes to funnel their requested titles through Yen Press. The problem the English market has with this is that Kadokawa is a juggernaut in Japan that owns virtually half the Light Novel industry so it's ridiculous to restrict half the titles through a single English Publisher. We are seeing progress though from Seven Seas is convincing Kadokawa to license to them instead of YP thankfully.
