I read this a long time ago - really liked it even if it's about little girl mages and swordswomen - would definitely like to see this happen.

bring Shana!!

I've been rewatching the anime, and it's a lot better than I remember! Now I really want to read the novel.

Giving this a bump to support the idea of licensing more completed works.

Interesting premise. And if they get the science right, JNC can even market them beyond the usual LN demographic, as an actual popular science book for youngsters who want to learn physics the fun way.

JNC could use a smutty license considering how they're caught up with How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord.

Would love seeing this licensed. The anime is a young classic. It would fit in good with today readers/viewers as it is a whimsical fantasy and fmc. A lot of series and anime are coming out that is similar types like this for instance Wondering Witch for just one off the top of my head.

The anime is still licensed.

I thought the show was ok, I didn't like what they did with the character Ana, I hope the books are better and would the opportunity to read them.

@doceirias said in Gosick:

Red Girls is split over two editions but has ~9000 and A Small Charred Face at around ~4000 (both still far higher than the average light novel.)

It sounds like J-Novel Club is missing out on tens of thousands of potential sales.

Bumping this because we’re on the last volume of the manga. If there’s any time to do it, now’s the time.

upvote once again

Ah, this series was great...but it's yet another Alphapolis title that won't get an EN translation anytime soon.

@roughroadface51 We posted about that more than 4 years ago when things were different. The only thing JNC has licensed from Dengeki Bunko was Misfit of Demon King Academy, so I would recommend buying that to show support. But be warned that having an anime 5+ years ago is not good for the prospects, as LNs licensed with anime that old usually flop in English. So another recommendation is to support older LNs, like Supernatural Battles, Slayers, FMP, Crest of the Stars, Orphen, Kokoro Connect, Amagi Brilliant Park, Infinite Stratos, Outbreak Company, etc. Almost every time JNC has taken a gamble on these older series with long-forgotten anime, they've flopped financially for JNC (at least in ebook format).

Giving this a bump since it's been a while. Still wish this series would get licensed. It's such a silly fantasy adventure.

If this got license, the top 10 of 2010s are completed. Miracles.

upvoting this to support an increase diversity of offerings here at JNC
nothing to do with sexy shenanigans, not at all <koff koff>

Kinda feel bad this post (and most recent comment) was so long ago.
But upvote from me as well.
