I'm interested but the lack of it being ongoing or completed at more than 4 volumes doesn't really give me the desire to buy it. JNC has enough stalled/dead series as is.

Bad Ass Ojou-sama Cover for Vol.1 of manga released March 19th

Thanks for this. I know someone was looking forward to this thread (I want to say @Rahul-Balaggan was). Art in this one looks fun. Here is the Bookwalker Page for the curious. https://bookwalker.jp/de05e0b661-f836-42b9-a0ab-a274fa27e68d/?acode=WpfPW3yk

@silvercat422 Unfortunately images don't work inside a spoiler. Hopefully NodeBB developers will fix this bug sooner than later.

Totally upvoting this. Love romance series with tall guys and short girls with no age gap. Though Square Enix is probably the most likely to license, now that they have an English division.

I've been interested in this one since it placed on the ln rankings, sounds really fun and I'm hoping that someone licenses it even if it isn't j-novel

Premise looks interesting and it's colored, upvote!

This is up to volume 12 now. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ERSEG6wUEAE8MXL?format=jpg&name=large Usami also graces the cover of the artist's new art book. https://rimg.bookwalker.jp/1052963/6u1VY3UN~QyhkEGh4TxtSw__.jpg

@caramelwithoutthesalt Well, it made me look at other things Nakata Yumi has drawn. He does have a love for the over-the-shoulder nipple peek... which is reflected in this title, too. May it enjoy at least as long a run as Kanojo no Kagi wo Akeru Houhou. And get an official translation...

Great series been reading this since it started popping up on novelupdates but been stalled for awhile. Would love for J-Novel to pick this up as a series in their catalog.

That's the downside of a true slice of life story I suppose, no big hook or novelty factor like ReLife had. The only goal or overarching plot is mentioned right there in the synopsis in the first post - four screw ups trying to prevent having to repeat a year. People will either dig the whole coming of age thing of them working & growing together or find it boring as hell. The MC starts off really weak too, they needed to flesh him out more way earlier than they did. Until we got those extra details of his backstory I didn't find him sympathetic at all & was more interested in all the other characters.

@shionarita Shogakukan does not like any form of Digital Release.

I'm a huge dog lover and I would love to read this novel! Yay, doggies!!!!

This looks pretty pretty good

I've seen several variations on this theme, where mechanics/rules/magic create situations (Love Tyrant, If Her Flag Breaks, etc.) As long as the gimmick isn't distracting, and the content/story is compelling - I say 'yes' overall JNC is lacking in romcoms lighthearted, cute, funny? all good things if the underlying message is that it is "OK" for girls to be humans with desires also (anti-slut shaming) that's a plus get's my upvote

Got interested in this novel through the manga scanlation. I really would like to read the novel too!

@doublemangekyo There is 9-chapter manga adaptation, it should be a good gauge but from what Frog-kun said it seems that the series might have ended too arbitrarily suggesting it might have been cancelled so it's mostly romcom shenanigans without the pay off from all the subplot and side character related foreshadowing. (That is why I was not sure if I should suggest it or not)

added the the LN to LNDB

@terrence (If someone can read the expression on volume 2, help me; I don't know what her glance nor her thought bubble are about, lol). "I need to study and act as proper prez but I am quite worried about the new bubbly better girl showing up!!!" lol
