What two Light Novel titles and what two Manga titles would you like to see licensed in 2022?

So, it's a new to hear and new licences to be had. What two Light Novel and Manga titles would you like to see get an official release in 2022?
For me, my first selection for both Light Novel and Manga would have to be "Isekai de Tochi o Katte Noujou o Tsukurou". This is one of my last big holdouts for licensing.

As far as my second manga goes, it would have to be the adaptation for "My Quiet Blacksmith Life in Another World". Gotta have that.
And as far as my second Light Novel choice, it would have to be "Megan to Dangan o Tsukatte Isekai o Buchinuku!"
So, what about you? What are your choices?
OH, AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Only going to list my top 2 LN choices, one unlikely, one who knows. Both of these have mangas as well and if the manga versions were licensed I would be ok with that too.
Isekai Yururi Kikou (Raising Children While Being an Adventurer)
While I have absolutely no confidence this will ever get licensed due to the fact it's an AlphaPolis title, who knows maybe someone can finally work a miracle this year. Wonderful title that if you like Campfire Cooking you'll probably like this one as well. This is an ongoing series that currently has 11 volumes published through Alpha Polis. The manga is being released through the AlphaManga and currently has 21 chapters out. The English version manga is being handled by Momosuke Inc. The Japanese release is currently at chapter 38.
Rebuild World
This is a strait up futuristic sci-fi story in a post apocalyptic style setting that's doing quite well for itself in the annual Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! rankings and is one of the few LNs in the top 10 that hasn't been picked up by anyone yet. Who knows, maybe this will get an anime announcement this year. This series is currently sitting at 8 volumes and is ongoing published through Kadokawa. The manga is currently being released in Japan only through Kadokawa and is up to 29 chapters.

@doublemangekyo Awesome thanks!

First, I'd like someone to pick up what SS left abandoned, volumes 6+ of Creature Girls.
And then, I want a gods damned english release Of Brynhildr in the Darkness.
Let's see...I've been wanting to read Shinmai Maou no Testament properly for years and years...

For me, 2021 was a pretty good year in terms of light novel licenses. One of my two wishes last year was picked up (Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte), as well as two of my most wanted (7th Time Loop and Holy Grail of Eris), and another that I didn't notice before but ended up liking (Magical Artisan Dahlia).
With that many in the reading list already (especially since the author of Marielle Clarac recently tweeted that her target is to release at least 2 books this year), this time I'll just give a shoutout to a long term wish that is Okoborehime.

I will continue to ask and likely continue to be disappointed but...

Since I really don't read unlicensed manga any longer - just keeping up with just stuff J-novel puts out is more time then I have - my manga answers would only be even more highly unlikely. Stuff that ADV butchered (Mythical Detective Loki) or other publishers have abandoned (Tactics, Eden: It's an Endless World) comes to mind but none of that is easy to do and none would make good financial sense.

@lighthawk96 I want "I'm the 8th son are you kidding me and wise man grandchild "
-
-
I'm going to go all out.
For Light Novels:
- The 8th Son? Are You Kidding Me? (I liked it a lot, and from what the wikipedia page has told me I'm intrigued by where it goes)
- The Misfit of Demon King Academy (SOMEONE better license this damn thing)
For Manga:
- Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun! (We have two seasons of this anime, someone needs to license the dang thing)
- Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai (Honestly this one's mostly just filler; I'm having trouble thinking of a second manga series)
My grasp on sanity remains absolute.
Oh, right, the poison, the poison for Kuzco, the poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's poison. ...That poison?

Because we wanna help this one bloke on the server fulfil their one promise,
1, Akashic Records Of Bastard Magic Instructor (Memory Records too, if it's somehow allowed D:)
Context pic:
2, literally any other LN that's more likely to get licensed instead of this. .-.
But really though, it would be fun to see something finally come out of the partnership thing with Kadokawa.

Actually, yeah, forgot this was based on a manga originally. So this would be nice.

- Chronicle Legion
- GAMERS!

For LNs, the only one I can think of is "So you thought there were no girls online". A fan of the series did a great job of translating the volumes (imo) through the first half of volume 7 I believe. Though I haven't seen any updates from them in the last year or so.
-
Ok here's my list; I'm going to cheat a bit because I can't think of any Manga I want licensed so I'm going to do all Light Novels
-
The Noble Girl Who Finds a Nerdy and Plain Guy Moe Thinks that the Arrogant Prince is In the Way
-
Though I Am an Inept Villainess ~Tale of the Butterfly-Rat Swap in the Maiden Court~
Bonus:
5. The Neighboring Aarya-san who Sometimes Acts Affectionate and Murmuring in Russian

Just a quick (personal) note for everyone: please post the cover images inside spoilers. It gets kinda annoying having to scroll so much otherwise. 🙏

Seconding Gosick.
Also, if someone could get Mamare Touno to write/ finally release log horizon 12+, that'd be great.

The two novels I want the most are Saiunkoku Monogatari and Maria-sama ga Miteru (Maria Watches Over Us), neither of which have much of a chance as they're old, long, female demographic and the anime adaptations finished years ago. I think I mentioned one or the other of them last year too.
My two manga wishes are more likely: Iruma-kun (I know it was mentioned already) and Ranking of Kings. Both have popular anime adaptions that are still ongoing, and I'm pretty sure it's just a matter of time. As Iruma-kun was already mentioned, I'm going to throw in another long-shot: Dear Brother. It's probably got more of a chance than either of my LN choices as Rose of Versailles was actually licensed in English, and its anime was rereleased recently.
