@terrence
Fujimi Shobo was back with Death March
Slayers and Full metal were under Fujimi Fantasia
There used to be Fujimi Mystery bunko but that is no more.
Kadokawa books are under Fujimi and Spider isekai is part of this line -
Seven Seas
Ofc, I wish that some of my requests get answered lolWell, when I think of seven seas, I think of classics, ecchi, comedy, moe, romcoms, and monster girls.
So, I think they may get:
-Full metal Panic or Kino no tabiI think "Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta?" fits their brand so well
and they might give in to @Aruseus493 and get either Gamers or Seitokai no Ichizon
Both fit well with them
For print edition of JNC stuff:
-Outbreak Company
-If it's for my daughter, I'd even defeat a demon lord
-How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord
Kinda hope they license Gate novels tho

-How NOT to Summon a Demon LordMy counter is that they don't license Outbreak cause its too much of a commitment
They don't license For my daughter cause of low sales
and big Maybe on NOT to SummonAs for GATE as much as i want it... I dont see it happening.
-
GATE (JSDF one) even has a sequel series like FMP starring a new cast. Seems like we could never hope to see those sequel series even if we got the mainline ones. =/

I mentioned this one cuz they have the manga themselves

@bloodygaikotsu personally speaking I don’t think 1 has to do with the other

According to Sam, all Kodansha companies and lines are like separate companies with their own editorial offices so, they don't have any access to Ichijinsha.Do To Books release things digitally?
Also, see this one:
https://curiouscat.me/jnovelclub/post/453966457Hayakawa Shobo doesn't publisher light novels. They have a "Young Adult" line though which is pretty close.
Yes and I know Sam has gotten in contact with Ichijinsha through Kodansha. He can easily get access to all Kodansha labels I believe, but stuff in Taiga and BOX label I am pretty sure Kodansha would want licensed by Vertical. He only licenses from their LN label. They all have their own editorial departments but it is not at all like licensing from new companies since he can easily get in touch with them and this whole thing has to through papa Kodansha at the end :3
To Books does release books digitally. And I know what Hayakawa Shobo has is YA label, and I am telling you we are getting something from that.
Edit: Sam leaks stuff in discord ^_^

@hakomari
I see
So he talks a lot on discordWell, I have some interest in Ichijinsha titles like Shomin Sample and Hayakawa like Imaginary Friend and Boku ga Ai Shita Subete no Kimi e
So it's good news~

@terrence Mimic is by the same author as "My Big Sister Lives in a Fantasy World".
-
@sam-pinansky
That's a great reason to license it. Thanks Sam<3 -
Oh, I actually own "Boku ga ai shita subete no kimi e" and its companion novel "Kimi wo aishita hitori no boku e". Haven't had a chance to read it (well there were some SF terms that scared me the first time I tried reading it) but a friend who read it really liked it.

Did you guys see Bookwalker are bringing Overlord and Goblin Slayer authors (and Overlord's anime director too iirc)? So I don't know if we should be expecting any new Bookwalker licenses or just Q+A with those guys.

Ahh, I hadn't even realized. I love that series too.
The opening for Mimic is really fun.
I haven't checked out anything beyond though. Maybe I should toss out a real request for it anyways.
