Or Dark Horse of all people get the SOL Ero manga (Eromanga Sensei manga).
-
@terrence
Dark Horse got Oreimo too, so it ain't that weird. -
If Kadokawa owns that much LN companies, aren't they practically monopolies? I knew that Kadokawa was really big, but not this much.

Hiota no Kanojo ga Ore no Motteru Eroge ni Kyoumi Shinshin Nanda ga......
Publisher: Fujimi Fantasia Bunko (Fujimi Shobo)
A romance comedy about an eroge-otaku getting his first girlfriend after she confessed that she wants to become his ideal heroine. (Sound familiar, it's pretty much the same initial premise as Chuuko demo Koi ga Shitai!) Accepting the confession, this is a series about him dating his semi-kuudere girlfriend as they play eroge together and be cute as fuck. I've read the first volume for both this and Chuuko Koi. They way they differentiate is that Chuuko Koi is more drama based while Hiota no Kanojo is fluff based. The heroine here is ridiculously Ero-Cute in how aggressive she is with her affections while doing silly stuff like cosplay or exposing herself to the protagonist.

@aruseus493
Why don't we get good stuff like this~? -
@bloodygaikotsu Because Kadokawa doesn't license out enough of their stuff considering how large of a hold they have on the LN market.
-
Not sure if this was ever mentioned/requested. Apparently it has a few Light Novel's published so far so I hope that J-Novel can snag the licenses for them if they're able to.
"The Death Mage Who Doesn't Want a Forth" (Death Mage)
Story: Densuke
Art: Ban
Publishers: Hifumi Shobo & Syosetu
(syosetsu is the Web Novel publisher and Hifumi Shobo is the Light Novel Publisher in JapanDescription (From Novel Updates):
I've been reading the webnovel and I've fallen in love with it.. so I figured I'd post about the Light Novel's that are being published in Japan here in hopes J-Novel can pick it up!
-
I was looking at this one today. For people looking for stuff with villainess type romance stuff, it could be a decent one.

「悪役令嬢後宮物語」読んだ！ https://ncode.syosetu.com/n6169bb/ #narou #narouN6169BB
"The Inner Palace Tale of a Villainess Noble Girl"
It's about a noble family that has the unfortunate trait of being born with evil eyes, so the people around treat them as if they are comic villains even though the family is very kind and loving. Looks like it's a romance comedy starring the daughter who I think is named Diana.
It has 6 volumes out in Japan, from 2014 to the latest release just this year. Publisher is Arian Rose / Frontier Works.

@terrence I like the sound of that one

I have said similar thing already on this topic (I probably will say them again in a few months) but I believe there are certain books or series, or types of series that would really work with how we experience JNC. There are the Episodic series like Kinos's Journey that would really work well with the Prepub format JNC runs. I have argued both getting long and short series with how fast JNC translate being very good for catching up on a long series; getting short or new series can be good because JNC can probably get 2 or 3 short or new series and when they are all fully caught up can be about equivalent amount of Translating work to one long-running series (say if two books A and B are published 2 months apart and JNC can translate each book in 2 months, JNC can translate Book A then Book B right after). Now there are the more Niche series or series that Other Companies such as Yen On would not translate and I think these series are ones JNC should also get.

Just thought I'd chime in again with my stubborn streak regarding Ore, Twintail ni Narimasu.
I'd really like to see the gates of Shogakukan breached and Sam's recent Curious Cat answer's got me hopeful! I pray that one day the English market be enlightened to the glory of the twintails.

Twintails
Are you sure you don't mean gender-bent characters?
Also, Ponytails Master Race.

I see you follow a different faith. Still, I believe ultimate salvation lies with our twin-tailed saviors.
-
I second the ponytail master race. I mean, look at this
Even a quitenssential twintail character looks better with a pony tail!!!
-
@paulnamida I’m a simple man. I see Rin Tohsaka, I upvote.
-
Straight hair Rin = Twintail >>>> ponytail. Fight me!
Speaking of ponytails, I still want Remake Our Life! It is Kadokawa though (I bought the first few volumes, but haven't gotten motivated to try Google Translating them).
