@terrence there's a Gargantia LN sequel?? I NEED IT!!!
Yup.
@terrence said in Novel pick-up requests:
There's likely no chance JNC will get this, because it's Kadokawa, but I figured I'd bring it up.
Looks like a sequel to the anime Gargantia.
In addition, there's a Bellows manga prequel... Though, I just don't like looking back in prequels. All about the present.
Link to the novels:

Come to think of it, animation studios that publish light novels might become more common in the near future. I wonder if there are potential titles that JNC might snag.
(I'd really love to read Myriad Colors Phantom World from KyoAni.)
Myriad Colors already has a LN. In fact, that's where KyoAni got it. It is ... very different from the LN, the anime, though. Kinda like how Sound Euphonium is fairly different in some ways from its source LN.
-
@dtta I believe he was talking about the fact that KyoAni itself has a LN label, that's where Chuu2Koi, Violet Evergarden, Phantom World and a few other series come from.
-
(In an Eeyore voice) Any LN based on an original anime produced by Kadokawa would probably be published by a Kadokawa company. ;-)

me and my kids loved that series - it had the right levels of "weird" that appealed to both me and my kids.
-
@paulnamida Ah, I took it to mean he wanted a LN for the anime. :) I'm silly, ignore me ;)
-
@paul-nebeling The animation studio/would-be-publisher that I was aiming for was actually Sunrise. But then again, thanks for reminding us who owns KyoAni. XD

Assuming you are talking about KyoAni, where is the company info that links them? I know they have worked together (licensing Kadokawa LN), but it does seem like a completely independent company, as they did the publishing for Phantom World, not Kadokawa - which would make it ripe pickings for JNC :)

Do you know any Isekai series about a full family (4 people) getting sent to another world? — I think the Simpsons did it.
I got it, and it's a Kodansha work!

Kisame Ogi encounters one day goddess, reverting from the life she did not rise, fulfilling the first upset. At the age of 41, surrounded by my wife and three daughters, I got my home of my wish, and suddenly my house is transferred to another world. Nagareya who got a job at a small adventurer guild for living. Is it possible to achieve the target set, "Push up the guild to the top in the year"? Using the sales skills cultivated in Japan and the cheat ability gained by XX with my wife, I will start making up for the second time!
-
@fozzedout Actually, I wasn't referring to any animation studio in particular. I was sarcastically poking at Kadokawa. There are numerous titles sitting untranslated that are owned by Kadokawa that people here would love to see translated. I was just extending the "umbrella of untranslatability" a little.
-
@terrence Oh hey, Sam is finally updating Curious Cat lol.
Also, that LN looks adorable. Looks to be by Kodansha, so it might be a possibility. -
@terrence I reeeeeally want to read those Gargantia novels, I loved the series. I hope Yen eventually has a digital only LN sub-label where they can be a little more experimental about what they release. If they do this would be a great launch series.
-
@terrence Holy fuck! A family Isekai does exist!

Maybe Bookwalker can take these types of novels off Kadokawa's hands. T.T
Zoa Hunter is a Science based action one I know we'll never get (unless an anime randomly happens) but that I really, really want. That and Novel Zero label stuff.

Random request
The Decision of Isoko Yamamoto
No idea what it's about. But I see harem tag, cute girl on the cover, and a battleship. So sign me up for service @Sam-Pinansky. The author had some bad experience with twitter where they pulled his ad cause of bullshit reasoning. At least, that's how I discovered this series a while back.
-
@aruseus493 I found about this one because of the same twitter fiasco!!! I guess in the end it worked out better for him with the controversy.
-
The more that people are always talking about light novels that are a part Kadokawa, the more depress I am at the reminder that any of those series are most likely never going to get translated.
-
@kite-xx The more we request and buy, the better J-NC comes across and can hopefully become more appealing to Kadokawa.

@aruseus493 I’m not the patient type, but alright.
Having computer problems, so can’t really put up a cover from my phone. Anyone interested in Berserk of Gluttony or Sayounara Ryuusei, Konnichiwa Jinsei
