      I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I wanted to make a list for myself of where I could find other works by Hyuuga Natsu (author of Apothecary Diaries) and thought it might be helpful to others.

      The Apothecary Diaries
      Licensed in English here in J-Novel Club. There are two different ongoing manga adaptations. One is drawn by Nekokurage and compiled by Itsuki Nanao and licensed in English by Square Enix. The other is published in Sunday GX and drawn by Kurata Minoji, the only official English translation is by Shogakukan Asia and sold in SEA (It would cost me nearly $80 to get one here in the states.) I think this is a shame because I actually personally prefer this version I wish it was more widely available. Here is the series suggestion forum post here on the J-novel Club forums. Then of course there is the anime— as of the time of writing this— season 2 is currently airing on Crunchyroll.

      The Failure at God School
      Series suggestion post. Description from that post:

      Modern Japan, a very ordinary and ordinary world.
But it's a little different.
Gods exists in this world.

One day, Nagi, who is about to enter high school, suddenly receives a letter of acceptance from the "God's School" where people with supernatural powers gather.Even though she hasn't even taken the entrance exam? He says she passed the recommendation frame from a strange god, but Nagi's grades are the lowest in his grade among only elites enrolling! The daily life of a school dropout girl begins to move towards the extremely difficult national qualification "God"!

Superpower x School x Friendship x Love x Conspiracy!? The spiritual school drama begins here!

      This one has a manga that's being licensed by Yen press.. From what I can tell the manga and the light novels are being published simultaneously and as of light novel 5 they will have branching stories. I read the one volume yen press has of the manga and liked it so much I found the next two for free on bookwalker.jp and tried to read those despite my Japanese not being all that great yet.

      You Can't Bluff the Sharp Eyed Sister

      Series suggestion post. Desc from the post:

      Chloe works as an apprentice priestess at a remote church, but she uses her insight and memory to earn money at night by gambling at cards in a bar, which is hardly suitable for a clergyman. One day, Erald, a wealthy paladin, visits Chloe's church, so impressed by her abilities that he offers her a job.

"I want you to pretend to be a candidate for the saintess, and infiltrate the grand cathedral to find the murderer who committed the crime two years ago."

Drawn by the large reward, Chloe signs a contract with Erald. She is supposed to investigate the murder of an apothecary that took place inside the main church two years ago, but what is the truth hidden behind the scenes?

      Manga adaptation is being licensed in English on K manga. I think since the light novel is a stand alone it might be coming close to finishing up.

      Kuri Miko Ayakashi Yoru Hanashi
      Publisher page.

      Google translated desc from publisher:

      - Not to the way, not to the end.
It is a weaving hut in Tamakoto-jinja Shrine in the ancient capital, and today, the shrine maiden, Kinuko, weaves cloth. Kinuko, who came out of a remote village in the countryside, lives in a shrine office and teaches Japanese culture and weaving as a part-time lecturer at university. The residence is managed by the landlord, and young people called Shiro and Kuro always make delicious dishes, and it is comfortable. However, Kinuko does not know the number of residents of the dormitory or what kind of things will live there. One day, Kinuko is consulted by a student that she may have been found in a hidden place. A story that solves the mystery of the story, with a thread dancing on the stage of the ancient capital.

      There is also a manga adaptation of this one published by Zero Sum.

      The Immortal King's Son
      Publisher page.

      Google translated desc from the publisher:

      "What kind of meat is this?" - Modern Japan, but quite normal
A world where werewolves and vampires live.
In the class of Yukiko, a girl in the sixth grade of elementary school who was about to take the junior high school entrance exam
The transfer student is coming.
The boy who called himself Yamada Immortal Man was the son of the immortal king.
One day, Yukiko is attacked by a food ogre to help her classmate,
The immortal man saves his life.
However, in return, Yukiko is not a human being.
They become non-dead outsiders.
In this way, Yukiko became a family of the immortal king who is said to be lonely among people,
You will be with them.
Father Yamada, the immortal king who is treated as an ingredient.
The mother of Yamada, who was too natural and left the world.
For the sake of my parents and my brother, day and night, I flew to the people around me.
Yamada's older brother who sits down the ground.
Yamada immortality is a man who is side by side with death just by walking.
I don’t know where to go, immortals.
-----A family of immortal kings who are considered alone among people.
By interacting with them, the mentality of Yukiko Hidaka, who is in the sixth grade of elementary school
It is trained like steel.
Aim for the flesh and blood of the immortals who can become immortal if you eat
The food giants are approaching Yukiko.
An absurd and splattered day with an immortal man who dies brightly and cheerfully.
And it seems that a useless and bright immortal man has a secret.
Will a normal girl ever have a peaceful day again?
This is the son of an immortal girl and the immortal king.
It is a story that hits various death flags.

      This one even has a brand new manga adaption being published by kadokawa. Honestly, I really want to read this one, it looks like a splatter comedy and a ton of fun.

      These are the ones I know of with ongoing manga adaptations. And if I'm being honest the ones I most hope get translations. Below are a list of other light novels by her I was able to find:

      Qualifications of an inept detective
      Ruin Excavation Mystery Club series
      Zegenya guen
      Ghost Princess of the Back Alley
      King of Tonelico

      Feel free to add anything I might have missed.
