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

            I would like to see, And you thought there is never a girl online?

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

            Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

              @Skanner I think it would be amazing if they picked up "Knight's and Magic"

                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].

                        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?

                              • Kaijin no Kara-Shehr -What a beautiful sanctuary- (灰燼のカルシェール -What a beautiful sanctuary-) by Hikaru Sakurai (Nitroplus Books)
                              • Rinkan no Madoushi (輪環の魔導師) by Souichiro Watase (ASCII Media Works)

                              Thank you!

                                  I found your next LN J-Novel Club:

                                  "I Reincarnated into a Vending Machine"

                                  Like... what?! :confused:

                                  That's almost as bad as a Hollywood movie about someone reincarnating into a Snowman... wait...

                                    Just remembered, another series I'd be interested in purchasing is 'Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai Kara Kuru So Desu yo?', along with its sequel series 'Last Embryo'.

                                      Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou seems like a good fit for J-Novel Club. It's published by Overlap, I believe.

                                        Personally, I would love to see Full Metal Panic! get picked up - especially since there's a new season coming out soon.

                                            ...what does that have to do with light novels?

                                            Though I certainly wouldn't mind getting a translation of the Epigraph Trilogy, which is more or less one of the routes of Steins;Gate 0.
