@Lily-Garden I don't know all the old stuff that was licensed but Earl and Fairy that was brought up seemed like a bad choice for a test series as it didn't age well culturally or visibility wise.

Maria even today remains a presence in fully parodies like Yuri is My Job and repeatedly referenced by other series.

and yet... v6 just got announced. I can only assume it was to keep the license channel open with Shueisha

I have no idea what their stipulations are for them to drop a series. Diaries from what I understand was selling poorly also before the anime (I'm assuming it is through the roof now.). It might simply be as long as a series isn't selling in the red they keep translating it. It would take someone who actually works at j novel to explain it. Chances are they wouldn't share that kind of details though.

Anyways a rewatch of Maria first season just finished on reddit that was rather active with comments for pride month. Though sadly the post themself got bot brigaded down voted for each one.

Isekai Pokeball

Having read a few chapters, I can say that while it wasn't to my liking, that nickname is more on point than a laser-guided sniper bullet (which is a real thing...).

@HarunaChieP

I generally just treat the forum as a place to make requests. It's suspected that more than just J-NC eyes this place.

If J-NC can NTR Index from YP, I'll be happy though.

@Aruseus493 Would be nice to have. I wonder if they can actually license Blu-ray stuff?

@jpwong said in Isekai Cheat Survival Meshi:

it's honestly not really a premise I'd seen before.

Ah.
You haven't read Arifureta or Failure Frame.
There are some others as well.
What would make it different this time is that normally the skill shows up after a betrayal dumps you in a Dungeon of No Return where you eat your way to strength, and it gets tied into a Revenge Quest scenario.
This one sounds rather more peaceful.

Why:

Seems like a fluffy version of Hige Wo Soru from what I'm hearing about it.

Just happened across the manga for this while randomly browsing and started reading. Starting from chapter 2, I don't think 'fluffy' is exactly the description that first comes to mind...

@Geezer-Weasalopes hope fully it does.
Future Manga seems unlikely, alphapolis has an official manga service, but hopefully there light novels get licensed here in the future.

Always down for some time travel romance.

Bought all 5 of the volumes out.

Tsukumodo Antique Shop's first few volumes was a novel I read alongside Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria, back when I still new to light novels.

So, imagine this scenario: there's someone new to light novels, and those two novels were the very first ones he read. At the time (and to this point), he likes one as much as the other. Years later, I still have difficulty finding novels that can rival the writings of those novels. From the top of my head, I can only name probably novels like Biblia Koshodou or works by Sugaru Miaki that can rival them.

Now of course, as a random anonymous person, my opinions hold little to no importance. But I do hope my point comes across, point beingTsukumodo Kottouten is an excellent novel.

This would be a good shorter series to fill the kingdom building niche whenever Fushi no Kami ends.

Fun fact, Overlap is starting a clone of the series this month.
