      @Terrence Thats really disappointing..ah well. I've read the WN so I'd have to wait either way to get to a point where the content is new anyhow.

        I have hundreds of titles (manga & novels) I wanna see licensed (put together in .txt files or S notes documents)

        I was curious about the actual number so I just combined 2 lists of mine and got 409 (didn't dare to add the rest...)
        130 Manga
        279 Novels

            Well, if we are competing, I can add my amazon.co.jp and Bookwalker wishlist, and the rest of my documents lol
            But I am too lazy for that. lol
            I thought it was like 200-250 titles...but to find the list might have reached 1k (that was a surprise)

              Can someone help me with this license a bit. I'd like to request it because it seems to be Yuri comedy, but I just don't know what the title even is in English.

              " 将来的に死んでくれ "

                  But, weellll, if you are looking for title translation, Google Translate ain't pulling your leg lol
                  Shouraiteki (Shourai = Future, teki is to turn noun into adjectives)
                  Shindekure (Shinde = die, kure = informal please)

                  So, yeah, It's something along the lines of "Please die in the future" lol (but I am not the best to ask around about JP anyway)

                    I have to wait until around vol 3-ish to get to new content for me.

                      @drone205 Yeah I'm up to chapter 303 in the WN, whichever book that is for Sword Dad.

                        @sam-dukes I assume each book is like 25-30 ish WN chapters as it roughly lines up with what would be a climax for each book

                          I just hope the book is heavily edited.

                          I read the WN now and then and holy crap is there a lot of meandering croft in there. Not even Slice of Life, just meandering and wallowing and not /anything/, interspersed by cool action and slice of life.

                            Arifureta again. It's possible they are mocking us.

                              @novurdim Yesterday I thought "At least there is no more Arifurueta for them to license" but I was wrong... I swear they are just trolling us at this point

                                Is there any more Arifureta they could license? A doujinishi perhaps? An anthology with different mangaka? =P

                                    @terrence The Drama CD hasn't been licensed yet, if they want to go there.

                                    Quof got a break.
                                    WHAT'S THE STORY WITH THAT FREAKING BLACK DRAGON?!

                                      speaking of anthologies I wouldn't mind if they licensed the YagaKimi anthology that came out recently

                                          Looks like the next one Seven Seas picked up is a manga series, Nicola's Demon World Travels. I haven't heard of this one, but it seems interesting.

                                            My guess for next one: Gyaru Tensei - Isekai Seikatsu Maji Darui
