      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.

        "Hey, Mr. "Everything was Better in the 90's"! Your internet speed is so slow that it took you 8 hours to watch 60 Minutes!"

        You're so old, you KNEW Shakespeare.

        I can put M&M's in alphabetical order without color coding.

          @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.

              @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

                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.

                              My request is not for a specific light novel but rather a publisher. Please develop a relationship with Alphapolis. They've had so many web manga adaptations of their works in the last couple years, they've really intrigued a lot of people.
                              And me personally, I'd also love to see some novels from their imprint for girls, Regina.

                                How about A Corpse is Buried Beneath Sakurako's Feet?

                                    @Solistia I've tried to get in contact with them but they don't actually have any international sales people... Now that we've launched I might have more luck getting them interested.

                                      Must say if you ever pick up Shogakukan as a publisher, I'd really really love for you to pick up Sasami-san@Ganbaranai which hasn't been picked up yet by anyone else. Pretty please!

                                        @Sam-Pinansky I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! ^o^

                                        Another publisher that might be good to get in with is Futabsha, particularly with their imprint Monster Bunko. They're the ones that that typically pick up the popular web series from Narou(syosetu.jp), and have contests for amateur authors on there to get published. Might be a cheap license.

                                          I would be interested in a lot of the titles currently suggested, though i'm happy with whatever you publish in the early stages, better to build a reputation first, maybe bringing in some of the popular LNs would boost the site before bringing in new publishers.

                                          I'm trying everything you upload at the moment. I want this to suceed :)

                                          also im all for Hai to Gensou no Grimgar and Sakurasou <3

                                            Im at work so haven't subscribed yet. Just saw the add for this on crunchyroll news feed and Occultic;Nine was the selling point for me.

                                            If i had to suggest one i would love to read it would be Alderamin on the Sky. There are some fan translations but they are super slow and most seem to be on hiatus :(. Plus with the anime being by Madhouse you know there won't be a second season. Haha. Its such a great story so far though.

                                            Good job so far though :)
