      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.

        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.

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

              Will it turn into some harem of Yanderes?

                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.

                  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.

                        @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....

                          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...

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

                              @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.

                                    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.

                                    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?

                                      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.

                                        ^ I really like that character's design. She's got the aura of a cool, dark beauty... But with Auburn / Rust colored hair! Totally steals the show from the bro-con idiot from what little I saw of the World Break show. xD

                                            Snopsis

                                            This is a walkthrough of life (a shitty videogame)!

                                            Life is a bad video game. This cliche phrase is, sadly, a reality.

                                            However, life doesn’t have simple, easy rules. What it does have is irrationality and inequality. The strong say that they have a lot of freedom, but the weak have no choice but to live an overwhelmingly disadvantaged lifestyle.

                                            Therefore, it’s a shit game. There’s no mistake because I, the best gamer in Japan, declare it to be shit.

                                            — However, that person, who is on the same level as me, goes around saying “Life is a great game.”

                                            The school’s perfect, strong-willed heroine, Hinami Aoi. Furthermore, “I’ll teach you the rules of life (game)”?

                                            …Normally, I wouldn’t believe in those words. However, Hinami Aoi is a character that doesn’t even fit in a normal frame at all!

                                            From the winner of the 10th Shogakukan Light Novel Award for Excellence. A jaku-chara takes on life’s strategy guide, but with instruction from a bishoujo!
