Sugar Apple Fairy Tale (Suggestion for JNC Heart) [Licensed by Yen Press]
-
@stardf29 Maybe this is a sign. By the way, Culinary Chronicles of the Court Flower is complete with 11 volumes, so it wouldn't be much more volumes for Sugar Apple Fairy Tale (only 6).
-
@Liber-Monstrorum I wouldn't say "only 6" more volumes; that's still a fair amount and over 1.5x as much as CCCF. So it's still a significantly higher investment that would need to be justified (like with good sales of CCCF).

@stardf29 If Culinary Chronicles of the Court Flower sells well, we don't need to worry about that. @Sam-Pinansky must have had something on his mind, when he licensed this novel. Maybe this novel is a side product of another novel he wanted the license from this publisher.
-
I love Sugar Apple Fairy Tale!!! The manga adapts only the first volume of the novel and I really would like to know how the story continues. Please license it!!!
-
I'll be interested in reading this title.
-
I came here to request this.
The manga is cute (it's illustrated by the same person who did Vengeful White Cat in the Dragon King's Lap, if I recall correctly) and both the manga and light novel pair would be a decent shoujo series to replace the former now that the novel's done.
I actually own the complete Sugar Apple series on Japanese Kindle, even though I cannot read it (I tried using Google Translate before I gave up...)
It's really, REALLY cute.
Pleeeeeease?

Good news! This is getting an anime despite the LN finishing 6 years ago. Also, I had no idea that Culinary Chronicles is from the same author.

Maybe this means we can finally see this licensed 🙏

Hopefully J-Novel Club will finally license this novel now.
-
I was so excited to see the revived interest for this series!! Fan translations only went up to volume 2… it’s a cute series! New anime, new manga adaptation (a second manga series!)… hope J novel club will re-consider licensing this series :)
-
I was so sad when there were no more volumes fantranslated than up to volume 2. It‘s great that the light novel will receive an anime adaption and another manga adaption! I already enjoyed the manga by Alto Yukimura, so I hope the new manga adaption will be good too!!! And I‘m looking so, so forward to the anime, I can‘ wait!!!
This novel is the reason why I registered here in the first place, I already enjoy reading Culinary Chronicles of the Court Flower, my biggest wish and hope now is that J-Novel Club will also license Sugar Apple Fairy Tale!!! Please, please don‘t let it be just a wishful dream!!!!!! -
Yen Press will do a simulpub of the new manga adaptation: https://twitter.com/yenpress/status/1454114817095110666

@hyperion Just great. That probably means that they snatched the novel too... I sooo wanted J-Novel Club to license the novel.😢😭
-
I hope that Yen doesn't have the novel. I find that they have been doing decent work, but I prefer the amazing work done by the team here at JNovel.
-
@jampodevral Yeah, me too. In my eyes, J-Novel Club is the best!!!
-
@jampodevral @Liber-Monstrorum Same here.
By the way, the raws of the first chapter of the new manga adaption are out.^^ Unfortunately it‘s no drawing style like Yui Kikuta‘s, but similar with the two The Apothecary Diaries manga the new manga adaption takes a different and interesting approach.
I‘m thinking of buying the raws of the new manga adaption to support the author and artist.
-
@jeweledpoisonousbutterfly Really? I will check it out! If it‘s good, I will buy the manga too.^^
-
It's really interesting how different both manga adapt the light novel. I think it's worth reading both, the new manga adaption is especially exiting, since it will probably adapt more than only the first light novel volume.
A comparison of the old manga with the new one:
-
I so, so love this novel!!! A dream would come true if it would get licensed, especially by J-Novel Club (since they already licensed Culinary Chronicles of the Court Flower, which is by the same author, wouldn‘t the chances be higher for J-Novel Club to get the license?)!!! And I‘m so happy that an anime and another manga adaption were announced, hopefully this will boost the novel’s chances for getting licensed too.

Author doesn't matter for that, only the publisher does.
One of the best examples of that is FUNA, whose three series all have different Japanese publishers and different English publishers.
Extensions of a series are another matter; side stories and fanbooks are most likely to get liscenced by the same publisher as the main series. This is simply because keeping everything together make things easier for readers to find, and thus purchase.
In this case: The publisher is Kadokawa, so if anyone were to liscence it, it would most likely be either Yen Press or J-Novel Club, or Kadokawa's new English label. It doesn't seem to fit the types of series that Seven Seas tends to go after.
