      @Torka LOL. Well, I could have put the full title including the subtitle, but its a bit long.

      FYI, so far JNC has never dropped a series with the exception of New Life + where the Japanese publisher stopped selling it and asked JNC to also remove the translated version.

      Try bumping the original suggestion.

      It does look interesting enough for me to back the suggestion though.

      @Bamgm14 said in After Pre-pub closes:

      @Shiny I was thinking of buying the Prepub and was wondering if I would get the final draft as well. I understand the membership, while a neat perk, doesn't give u access to the final draft unless you preorder. Thanks for verifying tho

      Just in case all of the above wasn't clear, I'll word it a little differently:

      You can't buy the prepub at all.

      What you buy directly from JNC is the Premium ebook (in DRM-free ePub format), which is the final version and often includes bonuses like textless illustrations or some of the bonus stories that the Japanese publisher provided to bookstores as a pre-order or first-day bonus.

      In addition to the premium ebook, you also get the right to read the prepub version in a browser or app. That's just an extra feature, what you are buying is the ebook. If you buy a title directly from JNC before release that is a pre-publication-purchase of the ebook not the prepub.

      @lily-garden That's good news, sort of. That is too good of a story to leave hanging forever.

      @Dawnaxis said in Yuri Advice:

      Seriously Seeking Sister! Ultimate Vampire Princess Just Wants Little Sister; Plenty of Service Will Be Provided!” as yuri, but I haven’t read them yet so I can’t comment any further.

      It's a good story, but much more like Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear or FUNA's Abilities Average than Sexiled. You can probably find a yuri subtext if you look hard, but it's low key.

      @myskaros : Ha ha yes what you say makes perfect sense but I'm truly looking forward to reading volume 9 and (from what I understand) a possible upcoming volume 10 from JNC; so I want to wish you guys all the best and God speed in sorting out the necessary commercial arrangements and formalities and getting the next volumes published as soon as possible. Fingers crossed

      S

      @doceirias English actually has a lot of words for 'ghost' too. Like specter, phantom, spirit, apparition. I'm actually a bit of a folklore nut myself, so there are a lot of 'ghosts' that are of a specific type. Most people know poltergeists, but there's also fetches, which is basically yourself. If you see yourself, you die. Wraith comes from the old Norse word Vordr, which means 'ward' or 'warden'. It's a bit like a guardian spirit, until you die, then it becomes undead and haunts a person or place. There's the ubiquitous 'Lady in White', the generic parts being she is a scorned woman who murdered her children and then killed herself.
      So there is a wealth of words to use in an English translation that could properly approximate their Japanese counterparts.
      Although I do understand that the last thing a translator would want to do is extensive research the paranormal on top of their normal work.
      I still want a translation of this so damn bad.
      I needed to reiterate.
      I've been waiting for ten years.

      It has unfortunately not been licensed, so there is no official translation. Digging around a bit, it looks like there are fan translations for several of the volumes online, but I don't think that we're allowed to post links to that sort of thing here.

      yea, I'm torn
      for physicals - I've restricted my purchases to what I'm going to have as part of my 'permanent' collection, and there's only so much space (and $$) I have one collection of books in my living room, most leather bound (or have the look of leather bound) a lot of classic sci fi/fantasy, some limited editions, signed by author etc. A second collection is in my office (and is about to get purged) hardcover book club editions, mass market paperbacks etc. I have about 2x what I want to keep. (and that will give me space to add more LN physicals of which I only have a few)

      That being said - I like the cover art to invoke the 'spirit' of the story dark/somber or light/humorous - I especially like when a series has cover art that themselves have a theme over the series of volumes (introductions of characters, or featured character on each volume doing something that relates to previous/next-- like the art has its own arc)- Shomin Sample, does this well as does Rokojouma. I'm not such a purist that cover art...needs to be on the cover, I'd buy leather(ette) bound Bookworm editions that had minimalist cover/spine art (like just Rozemynes crest) as long as all the art was inside
