girl who attracts penguins
U mean Penguin Highway?
I am pretty sure it's better than Asterisk, it's a general literature novel written by Tomihiko Morimi (author of Tatami Galaxy and Eccentric Family)
His stuff are a bit wacky but really good.Bloody, you may find that Penguin Highway would be better than Asterisk; however, I don't think I personally would enjoy Penguin Highway more than either Asterisk or Chivalry of a Failed Knight based on the synopsis/summary. If you're into those types of novels, then that's great I am glad that it got licensed so you're able to enjoy it, but not everyone is going to think it's definitely better than Asterisk or [insert another novel]. I am holding out hope that eventually Chivalry will get licensed because it's one that I know I, and many others in these forums, will enjoy. Best of luck to all of our titles getting licensed =).
-
This has an awesome anime, and the novel seems like it would be great too! I really hope this gets licensed so we can be able to read it.
-
I tossed a vote for this series in another thread a long time ago but since there is this now I need to speak up again to make sure j-novel staff see enough interest.
+1 for Rakudai Kishi no Eiyuutan
-
I am hopeful that they've seen that this novel series is one of the most "upvoted", from what I can tell. I saw something that indicated an upcoming license announcement for a series over 10 volumes - I am hoping and praying so hard that it will be this series that gets announced. I just re-watched the anime and it reminded me why I enjoy the show/series and want to follow the characters to see what happens to them.
-
@ironman628 If you’re talking about Sam’s answer on CuriousCat, I would say that title has already been revealed, as Kokoro Connect has 11 volumes.
-
@legitpancake Ah, well hell. Thanks for the heads up. Either way, maybe they'll still license this series soon. It's definitely at the top of my "want to read" list more so than so many of the light novels that have been announced by the various publishers lately. So I'll keep hoping and praying that one day someone will license it.
-
@eternal-wanderer Same for me.
I like both the anime but I always felt like Asterisk was a weaker version of Chivalry.
Still can't come to terms with the fact that Asterisk is being translated and got a 24 episodes anime while Chivalry got no translations and a 12 episode anime. -
Let's see...
I rewatched the anime 2 times.
I suggested the anime to a friend who at first was like "nah. ecchi shit. dislike" and in the end was like "oh my god! I love it! Stella waifu!".
I bought the Bluray Limited Edition.
And I keep asking companies to translate the LN.
Seems like I'm in the right place, am I? -
@michaelblue-the-king Well, J-Novel hasn’t secured a deal with this publisher (GA Bunko) before, but there’s always hope. Your best way of getting it published is to buy Kadokawa J-Novel titles, Kokoro Connect and Amagi Brilliant Park, and prove to the hard-to-license publishers that there is demand for them in English.
-
@legitpancake I like those 2 titles and I was gonna buy them anyway. Now I feel motivated to buy them even more :D
"I am not the Messiah.
A lone, heretic man whose heart beats for a witch cannot be the Messiah." -
I would also love to see this light novel translated. This would be wonderful!
-
See I'm the opposite i really don't want either of those titles, but if their is a chance that me purchasing them means we get more Kadokawa titles then I'll probably get them just for that reason.

@catstorm abnegation intensifies
-
would in deed by nice if this could get licensed, really sucked how it didn't get a 2nd season :'(
-
@idiarkis I agree, a second anime season would have been great. Fingers crossed that someone officially picks up Rakudai for us so we can at least keep up with it that way.
-
I just realized that if I ever win the lottery, I'll be able to pay JNC/Sam to translate it for us. I guess that means I should start playing the lottery. Or if anyone wants to buy a kidney, I think I can spare one. This is such a wonderful series. I really hope that it will eventually get picked up.
-
Not to be that guy, but if you won the lottery you could just pay someone to translate it for you personally. I’m sure it would be cheaper although less advantageous for everyone else.
-
I love this light novel and the anime too. So allow me to join.
-
@catstorm But, if you INVEST in having it translated for sale, then you can claim any losses against your taxable income, whereas having it translated for your own use, it's just entertainment.

Love this LN, hope it gets a TL
