I haven't read any of this yet, but I am in full agreeance that JNovel needs a lot more yuri. Jnovel picks up a lot of series that seem to always be missed by other localizers, but they haven't been picking up the rare gems of the yuri genre. The premise sounds amazing, and definitely seems like it will be a fun read once I finish 9999. And I really want things to spend my credits on outside Otherside Picnic.

@zenzen said in The Male Lead’s Villainess Fiancée: do jnovel translate Korean? Not at this time.

I’m in. Read the manga for a bit and I’m curious about whether stuff that didn’t make it in would make some of the creepier characters more tolerable, or at least less alive. All kidding aside, it’s pretty fun and I’d totally pick up the volumes as they came available.

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.

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

Oh, this series sounds really fun!! Wow those character designs. Both MC are really cute, and oof, them boys! I would love to read this ^o^

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.

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...

Volume 12 came out in July. It looks like the cover to a final volume but we couldn't find anything to confirm it as much as people thought volume 11 was the ending. spoiler

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
