@Torka There's a speech in the first book about how light shone through different colored prisms turns back into pure white light, and that's a metaphor for the utopia they want to found where all races live in harmony. Calling that a White Nation is obviously really unfortunate in English, so I've been calling the book Empire of Light instead, and would pitch that title if it ever gets licensed.

@Yuri_Lurker

Regarding the LN of Sword Saint Adel, the most recent LN volume in Japanese was volume 4 in November 2024. So yeah it’s still ongoing for now

Still wish this series would get licensed.

Volume 17 just came out in Japan.

Honestly, I kinda want to read it just because it's so out there. Also I guess it would be a GL series? Or GL adjacent with the gender bent angle.

VOLUME 2 COVER

Since JNC was more willing to license ecchi in the last year or so, here's hoping something short like this could get licensed even if it's a romcom.

Remember years ago, like 2017 or so, I was reading this. Really good manga. Some farming thing came up in conversation about how rural Japan population leaving for cities isnt having the land devoid of humans reintroduce biodiversity naturally, and I immediately thought of this manga. I would love for this to be picked up

Would definitely read the light novel. The anime is hitting all the right notes for me.

@Smoochie said in I’m the White Pig Nobleman, but With the Memories of My Previous Life, I’ll Raise My Little Brother (Manga):

Knowing that there are 11 light novel volumes out in the world, just waiting to be translated, is ...

As of January this year, it's already 13. What's nice is that it's been consistently releasing 2-3 volumes per year.

Brief update: the manga is completed (somewhat axed, but it got to the WN ending). The entire WN is now compiled into two LN volumes by Amazonite Novels with art by Saori Toyota (Cautious Hero)

@Chronigan I really do hope that the team license this one. I been barely getting by from reading it through google translate. (depressing I know, typing it manually too)

The story has a soild basis, and good characters. If someone from the team can read this, please consider this novel for translation! Please!

@Smoochie said in Akuyaku Tensei Dakedo Doushite Kou Natta:

A pragmatic, not afraid to murderer when needed, female protagonist, and wolf dragons?
BUMPBUMPBUMPBUMP
BUUUUUUUUUUMMMMP

Though it's still very irregularly, the author has resumed posting new chapters of the webnovel, but I'm not sure if that means the light novel will get a new volume as well

1 chapter in March 2024
3 chapters in October 2024

Not promising, but I did add it to my "Want to read" list on Syosetu.
