Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu
- another 1
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?

@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.
-
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.
Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei (Tatami Galaxy)

Yoru wa Mijikashi Aruke yo Otome

-
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....
-
@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
Ryukishi07However, 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.
-
@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. -
This post is deleted! -
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!

https://bookwalker.jp/de122b90d3-01a0-4ec2-ae12-6829241a10a6/?acode=WpfPW3ykLooks 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).

https://bookwalker.jp/de73e291ff-d4b7-4ffb-a44b-4df1d28b11e0/?acode=WpfPW3ykThis 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

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

This might be requested before by someone else
But anywaysI would like Jaku-chara Tomozaki-kun aka The Low Tier Character "Tomozaki-kun" to be Licensed by JNC

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!

@xftg123
I watched the anime, I kinda felt it's meh but I heard that the anime screwed a lot of things up so, this makes me wonder.
Ah, this reminds me of another disaster.
An anime whose director skipped 2 volumes and make it end nonsensically.Kanojo ga Flag wo Oraretara
I liked the setting, characters but, somewhere at the middle of the anime, things started to make no sense.
It's by Kodansha LIGHTNOVEL that JNC already deals with -
@saurabh112
Actually, I am really interested in this one.
Well, I am interested in every and each LN that hits Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! ranking. -
@bloodygaikotsu I also want this one to be Licensed.
