@Student-no.0 This exact type of scenario (two leading / cover star male and females dating people that aren't each other) is what I like about So Cute It Hurts manga setup.
The video game Lost Oddysey also did something similar, with the female lead having no romantic attachment to the male lead. Virtue's Last Reward as well (again, why I enjoyed it).
Are there any LNs with significant relationships between characters that aren't the main male hero? It'd be nice to see some romance develop in an ensemble cast.

Yes. Mushoku Tensei had one I think. But it is later in the WNs, like volumes 10+. And the main character actually helped them get toghether (Best wingman ever!). Hakomari also had this but I can't really say who because it is a pretty important plot point later in the series.
There are also manga as Relife, Horimiya and Niijiro days where there are other couples in the main cast other than the main characters themselves.
-
@Terrence If you want LN/WN about wingman, read World Teacher. He have small harem but mostly help to his students to get women. (It is Isekai)
-
@sparhawk6 wait what? Who's the wingman there? Pretty sure the MC only succeeded in one?
-
@EJ-Bariring He helped to more ppl to get women. His harem is actually small. Idk how far did you read.
-
@sparhawk6 oh i see. I've only read as far as the current fan TL goes since the MTL for this one is really hard to understand compared to other titles.
-
@Hakomari ReLife is great. I need a season 2 of the anime. =)
I'll check out those other ones if they're in English. Horimiya I have read, though I got a bit tired of the pace around volume 3 (or was it 4? Either way, the early volumes made it seem like there was progress made between the main couple, but then there was stagnation and misunderstandings). I'll come back to it.
That World Teacher novel sounds good. Bring it over. xD
-
Relife is getting another season. It is a 4 episode OVA series that will wrap up the series and it is scheluded for 2018 spring I think.
-
It will be awesome if Eromanga-sensei will be licensed before YP will do it.
-
Well if Yen Press does it we won't get the first volume before late 2018...
-
@Hakomari Yeah, that sux. I read up to vol 6, but I will be happy to see it licensed by J-Novel. It is a really good story and in vol 8, there was a nice big cliffhanger :D
Sam, please, please :D -
I am really enjoying the anime so I'll probably read the LNs afterwards. Would be best if it gets licensed here. Make it happen Sam-dono.
-
@Hakomari Wrap up the ReLIFE series? But the manga is still going on.
-
@silentpope
Yeah I know. I think it will be finished by then. Or maybe the OVA series is just an advertisment for the upcoming live-action series.
-
I am starting to detest everyone in the world who is involved with stopping a company from legally licensing the Saekano Light Novels.
-
@Hakomari said in Novel pick-up requests:

The time range between their license announcements and them releasing the first volume is generally 6-10 months. What makes you think that this series would take so long?
-
@kuuderes_shadow Because they first need to get a license you know. And if that happen, I am not sure that it will be anytime soon. Best will be if Sam snatch it, but I am not sure how it is with publisher.
-
@sparhawk6 and if J-Novel Club picks it up they would have to get the license as well?
Indeed from an outsider's perspective it looks to me as though J-Novel Club announces their licenses a lot later in the process than YP does - which means a longer wait before the announcement, which then balances out the fact that you'd then get the volume faster after the announcement here than from YP.
-
@kuuderes_shadow Sorry, but you can´t compare them 2 months vs 4 -5 months. And do you think that YP announce license immediately after they get it? Funny. In matter of release date, you truly can´t compare it. Vertical keep so far Monogatari series in the 2 month gap, also One Piece Books keeps Shieldbro 2-4-2 for now, what is not bad. Just imagine Mahouka series, they are on vol 5 and for now is out 21 volumes, so just imagine how many years it will take till they actually catch up with volumes from 2017. (Better not mention Re:zero, Strike the Blood, SAO, Death March,...)
This are my points to this topic. -
@sparhawk6 - Please don't put words into my mouth. I never said any of the things you are arguing against there.
