      So this is more a suggestion for a bunch of licenses rather than one specifically so apologies if it is in the wrong category but I would love it if the Light Novels and Manga that Kadokawa are publishing as digi-pubs could be licensed to released as their Volume releases.

      It seems to me at least that the original idea was for other publishers to release the series as volumes but so far only Yen Press has done so and even then only for the Higehiro LN and I'm Quitting Heroing Manga. As such I would love it if the other series could get a Volume release by J-Novel club. Possibly with the Yen Press J-Novel label for physical releases as Yen Press seemed to at least be interested in them previously given the two they have licensed already.

      The manga and LN series on https://product.kadokawa.co.jp/digipub/ that are yet to have volume releases are:

      • I’m Quitting Heroing (LN) [Fully translated]
      • The Insipid Prince's Furtive Grab for The Throne (LN)
      • The Insipid Prince's Furtive Grab for The Throne (Manga)
      • A Boy Raised by Gods Will Be The Strongest (Manga)
      • The 31st Consort (Manga)
      • My Little Sister Stole My Fiance: The Strongest Dragon Favors Me And Plans To Take Over The Kingdom? (Manga)
      • The Lotus Eaters, Drunk and Sober (Manga)
      • Magic Stone Gourmet：Eating Magical Power Made Me The Strongest (Manga) [J-Novel has the LN license already]
      • Restaurant to Another World NEW EDITION (Manga)

        Also this is purely speculation on my part but seeing as they seem to have stopped adding new manga and LN series to what they are translating and instead seem to be focused on there TATESC line instead it feels like they might not be as interested in the Manga and LN any more so maybe J-Novel could even take over the simulpub releases from them? I believe that Kadokawa has a stake in J-Novel so if they are not interested in doing it them selves any more then maybe they would be happy to give it to J-Novel? Again this comment is just wild speculation on my part.

            Hello,

            I moved the topic over to Suggestions & Feedback. As it seemed more a general suggestion than a straightforward license request.

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

              @Rahul-Balaggan ah okay sorry, I wasn't really sure if it counted as a license suggestion or not.

                @Perplexed that ambiguity is exactly part of the issue with these! Very perceptive...
