@morbelek This one seems promising

@Torka LOL. Well, I could have put the full title including the subtitle, but its a bit long.

@c933103 They do have shounen titles so there’d be some hope but Cross Infinite World is the only publisher that licenses unpublished series.

You can see what has been licensed so far here.

@ShipTeaser Some dudes are so gun-shy that they will do anything to not get hurt.

@DoubleMangekyo

Provided you go in with low expectations of it ever happening, sure.

Why would I have anything else? Lol.

As for sales, given that Seven Seas licensed Yabuki's other series, Darling in the Franxx, and even nabbed the Ayakashi Triangle license from VIZ, it's probably safe to say that To Love Ru & To Love Ru Darkness didnt sell poorly. Tho yes, they presumably they didnt sell well enough to justify immediately licensing the light novels.

why would JNC want it?

Because I want to buy it and read it! Because other people want to buy it and read it! Lol.

In that case, Seven Seas would be much more likely to get these novels instead of JNC anyway...

Again, there's literally no harm in asking JNC to get it, so I dont see your point. I'm not claiming it's likely to happen.

So it's Kou 2 ni Time Leaped Shita Ore ga, Touji suki Datta Sensei ni Kokutta Kekka but with both main characters as time leapers. Seems interesting.
