      I'm on the Gamers and Classroom of the Elite bandwagon too, though I haven't watched either show. Trying to stay as in the dark as possible on them, but it's nice to hear people are liking Classroom's animw. =)

        @sam-rockwell oh gamers. The first episode was kinda "meh", but I liked the second one. It's a nice one

          I know this one has been said before but I would like too see rakudai kishi no eiyuutan (chivalry of a failed knight) translated.

          Though I know these are a stretch and are older I would like to see the six ToHeart2 light novels translated. I would also like to see seikai no monshou (crest of the stars, 3 novels), seikai no danshou (crest of the stars lost chapters, 2 novels), and seikai no senki (banner of the stars, 5 novels) translated (crest of the stars was translated by Tokyo pop but they lost the rights and did a horrible job in the translation cutting out entire sections of the three novels).

            I am pretty sure Rakudai is the most requested novel in this forum. Make this Happen Sam.

              @hakomari It is, I tried running a poll a while back with some of the more popular suggestions I kept seeing, Rakudai easily won.

                @gonki said in Novel pick-up requests:

                • Isekai de “Kuro no Iyashi Te” tte Yobarete Imasu

                I happened to flick through the first volume of the manga adaption the other day, because it's temporarily free to read on Bookwalker and I'm interested (even with the abundance of pretty boys which isn't really my thing).

                Since I pick out LNs based mainly on the art and can't really read them, I'm not really in any place to make suggestions. I have started tracking down fan translations for some of the books I own, but the first time I did that it was licensed soon after (Youjo Senki) and my second attempt.. well, it's hard to gauge the quality of the original through the lens of a poor adaptation.

                I could easily make a list of "what happens next?" requests for unfinished anime adaptations mind...

                  I would like to see this one

                  • Kou 1 Desu ga Isekai de Joushu Hajimemashita (Hobby Japan)
                    I´ve read the manga and I like the story.

                    I would like to request とある飛空士への追憶 "Recollections for a Certain Pilot" by Koroku Inumura. This light novel and the subsequent sequel/spinoff light novels are really popular in Japan, even made it to the Amazon.jp light novel best seller list. It has been adapted into a feature anime film titled The Princess and The Pilot in 2011 and an anime addaption for the spinoff light novel series a year later.

                    I would also recommend the Black Lagoon spinoff light novels. The Anime and manga series of Black Lagoon are popular in both Japan and the US, but the light novel spin offs have never been published in english, so translating them could attract the manga/anime fans to light novels.

                      I've been browsing descriptions and some sample chapters on a fan translation site and the one which hooked me enough to go and buy the first volume with my spare BookWalker points is something called Konjiki no Word Master (金色の文字使い). Perhaps in terms of recommendations I should have paid more attention to publisher though, since it's a Fujimi Shobo/Kadokawa title...

                          I pretty much choose based on the title and the covers that interested me. I'll split this into two, between currently licensing with and not.

                              I'd love to see Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita get picked up.
                              I'm currently rewatching the anime and almost forgot how enjoyable it was.
