      One day it shall be...but not today.

      Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

        Okay, can you guys post updates about the progress with licensing stuff? Like, if you tried and failed to get it licensed, please make it easy to see, or add that info to their respective pages. Or create one more pinned forum post with this information to keep it all in one place.

          @eminent That probably divulges too much of the corporate process and wouldn't probably never be officially mentioned. The best you could probably get is very vague answers in the Discord if anything

            @ellyonia I suppose so. Other publishers might go after the stuff they're trying to license if they know what it is. So I guess they only ever reveal that info if they successfully license something.

              Modified from the pro forma CIA response to requests for information:

              JNC can neither confirm nor deny the existence of license negotiations in progress but, hypothetically, if such negotiations were in process, the negotiations would be confidential, and could not be disclosed.

                Request for English translation for Violet Evergarden (anime had 1 season and 2 movies both Japanese and English dub) I've checked the Wikipedia and there's no English publisher yet.

                  Good so far.
                  Now you need to check the list in this topic to see if there is a request already here at JNC, and if there isn't then start a new request topic.


                  This topic is a cumulative listing of those requests already made, it's not the topic for initiating such requests.

                      @jettelosa257 I'm really surprised it's not already, given how popular I perceived it to be.

                      Anyways, just go here:

                      https://forums.j-novel.club/category/13/licensing-suggestions

                      and open a "New Topic" with your suggestion. You can look at other suggestions to get some examples for formatting, but there's no set in stone way to do it, just do what you feel is right.

                            Anyone know if this is going be pickup? I heard it is getting an Anime. The Manga has not lost it's detailed pages. I have seen someone translated pages up to chapter 225. I would really like to see/have translated book from this light novel. I wanted to follow the rules so I am post here about it. Not sure what else I can do to get more...

                              @slanterq the suggestions forum is just for that: suggestions. JNC never talks about licensing procedures or attempts, only when a title is officially announced do we get to know, and JNC only announces when work has already started, as they post the first 2 parts of a volume along with the announcement.

                              Making a suggestion post only serves to call some attention to a title and show if there's interest in it from the users. They've admitted that they do take it in consideration but it's not a main factor into what series they pursue.

                                  I've always wanted to give the light novel series 'Alderamin on the Sky' a try. I, at least, wanted to suggest that it could be licensed by J-Novel Club, but I don't know how.

                                      It really depends on a bunch of factors. The manga version of Sweet Reincarnation was apparently licensed first to judge if there's enough demand for the LN to be licensed. The manga version of Frontier Lord Dias was licensed first... with the LN coming in the next announcement block.

                                      So I'd say if you really want to suggest it, and it doesn't look like anyone's biting... throw it in the forum anyway.

                                          That's a big list. But yeah, if there's any series you like that aren't in the suggestions forum already, just add them in. And if some already have posts, you can post in them to just say you like the concept.

                                          As for Zilbagias... I'll be completely honest, I didn't know anything about the series when I recommended it. I just saw its cover in the JNC discord and thought "it's the Kumo Desu Ga artist, so I might as well try it out." And what did you know, it worked.
