one with yandere

It's about time we got a Yandere.

Kite-XX

please, no yanderes, please. I’ve already read a few chapters from 3 WN series including yanderes, and can’t get into those stories with obsessive psychopaths with their deranged affection.

Eins

Yanderes? I'm always down for yanderes. They make any story better.

I would like to request Chrome Shelled Regios and the Fate Zero novels. Both are finished products in Japan and have had anime adaptations. Fate Zero is pretty well know and is a head scratcher that is it not licensed yet. Chrome Shelled Regios is a great sci-fi light novel series which deserves a English release and is one of my favorite light novel series.

another 1

I'd buy Netoge 110% for sure, Baka to Test would depend on my credits/money situation

@terrence

Will it turn into some harem of Yanderes?

@aris385
it's weird that there's no Type-moon novel here.
Well, most of them are published under Kodansha novels line.

But I wonder who holds the rights, the publisher (Zero's publisher is Seikaisha) or Type-moon.

LegitPancake

I never understood why the Type-Moon LNs have never been licensed in English. Heck, the Fate/Zero LN is available in Polish, but still no English, which would be a MUCH bigger market.

Today, I watched Yoru wa Mijikashi Aruke yo Otome and it made me wanna read the novel.

So, forgive me for suggesting weird titles~

Both are by Kadokawa.

Sam actually worked on Tatami Galaxy anime subs iirc.

@terrence Wait really? That's pretty awesome. And technically, Tatami Galaxy is more so a novel/literature then a light novel. Like with "Shinsekai Yori", "Monogatari", and "Hyouka", they are all literature novels.

"Tatami Galaxy" could work for JNC or Vertical....

BloodyGaikotsu

@xftg123
Tatami Galaxy is, unfortunately, by Kadokawa tho.

Well, there are many novels under Kodansha I would like to see:
More NisiOisiN
No.6
Shinsekai Yori
Ryukishi07

However, so far, JNC has only dealt with Kodansha Light Novel line not Kodansha Taiga, Box or novels lines...

Shinsekai Yori

I wonder if this would count as "not a light novel". I definitely want it.

Jaquobus

@terrence Well, it's definitely not a light novel and it's a story about 私( Watashi → I/me), so it is a personal story 🤔.

Edit : Read that wrong. I obviously referred to Tatami Galaxy, not Shinsekai Yori.

It doesn't even have illustrations.
it belongs to Kodansha novels/bunko just like Zaregoto series.

I forget if I mentioned this before, but I saw it had an English title on the cover.

Remake Our Life: Let's Travel Back To Ten Years Ago and Reenjoy Creative and Sweet Youthful Days!

Looks like a time travel triangle? I guess I'll see. It has 3 volumes out. Of course... It's Kadokawa.

Here's another one that is definitely a Triangle of sorts.

Favorite Handmaiden (Two girls on cover 1 and on the final cover; pretty even cover distribution throughout).

This one is Kodansha. It's a 5 volume complete series.

From the description:

Which house can win more money? The Prize? - "The right to make Kyoichiro your servant for the rest of your life"! What?

Xftg123

Both do sound quite interesting.

Also, speaking of Shinsekai Yori, Vertical did this: http://vertical-inc.tumblr.com/post/42116170457/any-chances-of-seeing-a-from-the-new-world-translation

Sadly this was a while ago.

Anyway, as for light novels, it'd be nice to see "Seiken Tsukai No World Break" licensed alt text

it's still ongoing with about 20+ novels out, being a long running series. And it's under Softbank Creative company wise.
