      @kuuderes_shadow Isn't there also a 1 volume prequel light novel that tells the story of him before he came to earth?

        @Sam-Pinansky Indeed there was. I had forgotten about that. So yes, there are three in total.

            @GoldCrusader definetly a mystery but for me personally I don't feel like I am on the edge of my seat. However it is still a great light novel, I am sure I am in the minority for people who aren't on the edge of their seats.

            I guess I will just request more mystery light novels.

                Hey Sup? Please Pick Rental Magica and Itsuka Tenma, Both of them are Finish in Japan and Needs Translation as Fast as Possible. (Specially Rental Magica tho).

                Now if you guys want to Translate an New LN Series I would say Either Saikyougui no Dark Hero, Blue Steel Blasphemer, or Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de Please.

                Hope you guys take my Request Alright.

                Here's my Reasons why I want to See Those get an Translation tho:

                Rental Magica:It Looks great and I'm watching it Recently and Honestly Love it tho.

                Itsuka Tenma:Lots of People Recommend me this one but The Anime only Covers Like 3 Volumes and The LN's are only Translated Until Volume 4 Which is not that much at all since The Japanese version of it Have 13 Volumes Actually. Also I Watch some of The Fights on YouTube and it was Great tho.

                Dark Hero:an Action/Ecchi/Harem which The MC is not a Loser or Dense as Heck, in fact He's a Badass MC that According to The Information I read his an Anti-Hero Actually tho.

                Blue Steel Blasphemer:it Looks Epic Honestly by The Cover and It's an Action/Fantasy tho, also Is Publish by HJ Bunko which I see you guys have a Deal with them tho, so please Translate this one if you guys can.

                Inou-Battle:Watch The Anime Already and Wanna Read The LN's Since Nobody is Translating it and it already have 12 Volumes tho. So please if you guys can as well Translated This One too, I wanna See What Happens After The Anime Honestly.

                      Apparently Ryuuou no Oshigoto! did better than Re:zero which was 2nd place in Japan. Is anyone licensing that?

                        Now I am not gonna lie 80% of the reason I want this licensed is for Hisasi's Art.

                            I would like to see Kou 1 Desu ga Isekai de Joushu Hajimemashita
                            It's about 2 guys being summoned into another world where they are meant to somehow revive the spirit's light for the town they are summoned to.
                            The spirits light is revived and brightened by good things while dimmed by bad.
                            The MC is someone who was always interested in ruling, and there's harem too :P

                              I second "Kou 1 Desu ga Isekai de Joushu Hajimemashita", just've read the manga, and the LN is even from Hobby Japan.

                                Here's a list from Goodreads of novels / manga / light novels people want on Goodreads. If I can, I'll see if I can piece together their top ten wished for LNs later.
                                https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/42098.USA_Release_Wishlist

                                I saw mentions of Sound Euphorium. I believe Yen-On picked that up.

                                My personal Wishlist:

                                Sakurako-San's Investigation
                                Subete Ga no F series
                                Shiki
                                Shinsekai No Yuri / From the New World (the novels go a different path from the show I believe)

                                Edit: Anyone mention Danganronpa Zero yet? I assume some other pub would control the rights for the series releases, but who knows [figure Fate / Zero would be in a similar predicament].

                                  are you guys working only with Hobby Japans light novels ?
                                  i would like to recommend Seirei Gensouki - Konna Sekai de Deaeta Kimi ni from this publisher.

                                    My personal top requests would include (in no particular order):-

                                    Madan no Ou to Vanadisu
                                    Oda Nobuna no Yabo
                                    Yuusha ni Narenakatta Ore wa Shibushibu Shuhoku o Ketsui Shimashita
                                    Outbreak Company: Moeru Shinryakusha
                                    Kusen Madoshi Kohosei no Kyoukan
                                    Seirei Tsukai no Bureidansu
                                    Absolute Duo
                                    Seiken Tsukai no Warudo Bureiku
                                    Hagure Yuusha no Esutetika
                                    Maoyu Maou Yuusha
                                    Kokaku no Regiosu

                                    Yeah, I know I'm greedy, but I'd definitely pick up any and all of them if they were ever translated.

                                      I started listening to the podcast here with J-Novel's Sam I believe.

                                      https://baguburagu.wordpress.com/2016/11/30/third-seat-by-the-window-episode-1x03-we-talked-about-light-novels-so-we-chose-an-obnoxiously-long-episode-title/

                                      He talks about what they can publish when they talk about Tatami Galaxy novels. Novels aren't out of the question, but they are out for the moment (something about rights and those needing full print runs, which is too expensive for the site). So yeah, I'll keep my expectations in check for now for novel novels, and think more about LNs that'd be cool.

                                      On a side note, is "When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace"'s Light Novel equivalent picked up by anyone? I wouldn't mind reading those.

                                        @Terrence Almost done listening to this. Seems like a good chuck of the stuff made before 2010 is off the tables because the publishers don't keep their copies of all the assets? That sucks, reminds me of 1960s BBC, who recorded over tapes to save money, not knowing there would be a value for rebroadcasting, streaming, etc. in the future. Because of this, they are now remaking a famous part of Doctor Who animated because they discovered the sound and some other pieces of the puzzle but no video.

                                          Is there any chance of J-Novel picking up these two titles?
