Novel pick-up requests
-
@Sam-Pinansky
I think it's going to be impossible, considering that this kind of service isn't something Kadokawa would like. I'm not so sure, but that's how it feels like to me.
How about you? What do you think? Is it possible to partner up with them? -
@IcePhantom I think it will take time and a track record of success but it's definitely possible. The more subscribers we have the better the argument I can make to them.
-
@Sam-Pinansky
I see, good luck with that. I hope it works out somehow.
On a side note, I'd recommend picking up the Grimgar series. -
If we're making requests here, I have a big list. Just for some from Overlap & Hobby Japan though:
- Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou (Overlap) (My greatest wish.)
- Hai to Gensou no Grimgar (Overlap)
- 10 nen goshi no HikiNEET o Yamete Gaishutsushitara Jitaku goto Isekai ni Ten'ishiteta (Overlap)
- Lazy Dungeon Master (Overlap)
- Skeleton Knight, in Another World (Overlap)
- Kou 1 Desu ga Isekai de Joushu Hajimemashita (Hobby Japan)
- Real de Level Age Shitara Hobo Cheat na Jinsei ni Natta (Hobby Japan)
- Seirei Gensouki - Konna Sekai de Deaeta Kimi ni (Hobby Japan)
- Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomoni (Hobby Japan)
- Gekka no Utahime to Magi no Ou (Hobby Japan)
- Ore ga Heroine o Tasukesugite Sekai ga Little Mokushiroku!? (Hobby Japan)
- Hagure Yuusha no Kichiku Bigaku (Hobby Japan)
-
My request would be stuff from Hero Bunko(Shufunotomosha) Knights and Magic and Coffin Defiler.
stuff from Monster Bunko(Futabasha) Bocchi Tenseiki and Hisshou Dungeon Un'ei Houhou -
It would be nice to see a translation of Amagi Brilliant Park. :)
-
I'd like to see Akira's (日日日) series
- Mushi to Medama (one of my favorite LNs ever)
- Sasami-san@Ganbaranai
And...
- Onii-chan Dakedo Ai Sae Areba Kankeinai yo ne
-
I'm not sure how likely it is but if you could ever license some leftover Dengeki Bunko titles like Toradora, The Pet Girl of Sakurasou, and Shakugan no Shana that'd be awesome.
Also, since you've already published some lesser-known LNs, I'd like to suggest Shomin Sample (Ichijinsha) and Shimoneta (Shogakukan). I enjoyed the anime adaptations of both.
-
I'm echoing others more than anything but I would love to see The Pet Girl of Sakurasou and Hai to Gensou no Grimgar. Toradora would be pretty cool as well but I feel like with the manga and anime I've had my fill of that series overall.
-
My only request would be for my favourite series that always seems to be forgotten: Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko, which was written by Hitoma Irumi, illustrated by Buriki, and published by Dengeki Bunko. The series is complete at 8 volumes, so not overly long. The anime was released in North America by NISA as Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl. If you could get this title I would die a happy man.
-
I'd love to see all five books of Hajime Kanzaka's Lost Universe done. The anime was good, but I hear the books are even better.
-
@Melicans There are a lot of series from those seasons 5 years ago or so, C3, kuro usagi, dantalian... that were based off light novels that people seem to have forgotten. Denpa Onna seems to be the one people remember the most, though.
-
If we are requesting I will request:
.kyoukai senjou no horizon
.Kokoro connect
. rakudai kishi no cavalry -
@Sam-Pinansky Ben-to and Kamisama no Memo-cho are two other good ones that largely disappeared after they aired (okay, Ben-to isn't so much good as enjoyably ridiculous, but still).
In general, I'd like to see non-SF series -- mysteries, romcoms, straight up melodramas. Besides Ben-to, Kamimemo and the aforementioned Toradora and Sakurasou, there's Romeo Tanaka's Aura and Mariko Shimizu's Uso series
-
Well for requests I have plenty. A couple though:
Tokyo Ravens
Campione
Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry
Nejimaki Seirei Senki: Tenkyou no Alderamin -
I second all the people who have requested Grimgar.
-
I would love it if you were to pick up Ero Manga Sensei. Since it's from the creator or Oreimo it already has a bit of a fanbase and seeing how an Anime is in production, expect it to blow up in terms of popularity once that comes out.
-
I also would love to see The Pet Girl of Sakurasou and Hai to Gensou no Grimgar translated. I look forward to your releases and hope you have great success!

I also want Bibliotheca Mystica de Dantalian.
-
WIll echo in my support for Kokoro Connect, The Pet Girl of Sakurasou and Toradora.
Also, though not actually an LN, the books I would most want to see translated next would be the Classic Literature Club (Koten-bu) series of which the anime Hyouka was adapted from.
