@myskaros Yep, that totally explains it. I completely forgot that Kodansha has an English branch now.

@Korppi said in This Is Screwed up, but I Was Reincarnated as a GIRL in Another World!:

@mortcs It has a good story and is fun to read, though if we're going by the manga, there's the 'risky' stuff that might make it tougher to license. That didn't prevent Seven Seas from licensing the manga so one can hope...

There is one difference between the LN and the manga in that the manga is cagey about her actual age while the LN is clear about her being 10 (IIRC) at the start. OTOH, the manga art is a lot hornier.

I think this one should be licensed, I was concerned when I saw not much activity in the light novel sector after volume 8 for a year or so, but now, we've got 2 more volumes to volume 10, so I think it should be picked up.

This is getting an anime, so maybe...

Here's the illustration for volume 2

Didn't know this was based on a LN...yeah, it would be interesting to read.

This is actually one of those series I'm oddly interested in.

@Geezer-Weasalopes

Unless JNC pulls a CIW and adds in webnovels too

That does raise the question of whether anyone has suggested this work to CIW?

@traestaree Yep, it is oneshot.
It's not a romance (though there are hints of it here and there). Just Slice of Life.

Just started watching the anime, and it become immediately obvious that the original material was a novel. Went looking to find out if I could buy and read it somewhere, but to no avail. As such I would love for J-novel to get the English novel rights!

I just read through the Manga during this months catchups and would like to see the LN translated as well.

@aruseus493
I believe so, since the author is pretty active.

Which is something I totally forgot to mention, he's also the author of:
Kami-sama no Memochou
Sayonara Piano Sonata
And I would like to see Vertical getting "蓮見律子の推理交響楽 比翼のバルカローレ" as well.

I think his latest work is "恋してるひまがあるならガチャ回せ！2" published last summer.
