Novel pick-up requests
-
You didn´t get it. Because there is already out 8 vol of Eromanga sensei, so yes they will catch up around 2019 if they get license in this year. If J-Novel get it, they will make it about half faster. That is the point. I better don´t mention licenses, that they get and release date was like over half of year or more later.
Don´t forget that last batch of licenses from YP was not so long ago. So if they announce license, it will be probably around September - October this year, then 6-8 months (or more) till 1st volume, so yes it will be as Hakomari write. ( Just theory as your previous post ) About this was your first post.
Just read it again, I put also part about vol 1.
Also, J-Novel usualy reveal titles cca 2 months after teasing. And they always start with some parts of 1st volume done.
"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 " this point is not really valid, that is why I make my points before.
Is that all? Can we not drag it more, or are there some other points, that you would like to discuss?

sigh
Guess it's best just to end this conversation. It's clearly going literally nowhere.
-
@kuuderes_shadow sigh , exactly my reaction from the start. That is why I write to not drag it more. Thanks

Calm down both of you. Late 2018 may have been an exaggeration. The first volume often comes out 6-10 months after the announcement as you said. (Excluding delays that may happen. The first volume of Hakomari comes out 10 month and 15 days after the announcement so it can be more than 10 months between the announcement and the release of first volume) Seeing how they made a big announcement in Sakura-con last month, I am pretty sure they won't make any LN announcements until summer 2017. Let's say that they make the announcement very early in summer - beginning of July. That would mean the first volume will be out between January and June 2018. Yes, indeed saying late 2018 was an exaggeration and I apologize for that. But waiting 1 more year for the first volume is still a pain in the ass.(Still waiting on the first volume of Hakomari and second volume of Oregairu)
-
@Hakomari yeah, the second volume of Oregairu is pretty long waiting. But you know, I was a bit sad that they announce Masou Gakuen manga only and not the LN. Same it was with DxD. But what is the biggest pain for me, series like Mahouka or Strike the Blood, Re:Zero 4-5 month window is a bit too long. That is why I hope that Sam will get Date a Live or Shinmai.
We work with theory dates, so it is hard to say if it will early or late 2018 or if they even license it. But in term of release, JN will be for sure better.
( I am calm, don't worry :D ) -
Anybody here want shimoneta to be pick up by J-Novel?

@White-Cloud said in Novel pick-up requests:

I second the suggestion!
-
@White-Cloud Good idea! ^^
-
@sparhawk6 damn straight I wanted the Masou Gakuen Light Novels too...although not really for the story just for the illustrations by Hisasi.
Although I will say I am still annoyed at the fact that after all this time with the Saekano manga license under their belts they still haven't licensed the LN.
Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

@Rahul-Balaggan Masou Gakuen LN is good. Translation is up to date, and as you say, illustrations are pretty good. But there is one pretty dark themed LN - Fremd Torturchen. It is really good and illustrations are awesome too. I think they are from same Illustrator that did Black Bullet.
-
@kuuderes_shadow Here's our secret: We translate ALL light novels ahead of time, just in case we license one. Then we're ready with the first 50% of v1 right off the bat!
-
@Sam-Pinansky Well since you translate ALL of them I am sure you have a Light Novel about a chef who is transported to another world and uses his cooking to defeat the demon lord...only you can bring that novel to the rest of the world.
-
@Sam-Pinansky Eromanga-sensei, Date a Live, Shinmai Maou no Testament please :D
-
I'll throw in a wish for Henneko - The Hentai Prince and the Stony Cat. I know the manga was licensed (and stuck at volume 3 for forever), but I don't the original light novel ever was. That would make me a happy Melicans.
-
Still waiting for Biblia Koshodou no Jiken Techou to get a proper recognition(yes not even a license). Like notice it Translator-senpai >.<
-
Well Madan no Ou to Vanadis license will be really nice too.
-
Are any of the newer licenses from J-Novel Club not from the two LN publishers they've worked with in the past (Hobby Japan and Overlap)?
Wonder what to maybe look at for future license possibilities.
-
@Terrence all 4 of the newest license are from Hobby Japan...
So no new companies yet.
-
Well, it will be cool to see other companies too. But HJ have one really cool LN, but it is a bit more ecchi and most of the publishers are scared of it as hell. That LN is Hagure Yuusha no Estetica .
Fujimi Fantasia Bunko will be a big win ( DxD, Date a Live, Amagi Brilliant Park, ...)
MF Bunko J ( Absoulte Duo, Madan no Ou to Vanadis, Zero no Tsukaima,...)
Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko ( Shinmai Maou no Testament, Hybrid x Heart Magis Academy Ataraxia as Masou Gakuen, Mondaiji, Last Embryo, Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasuka? Isogashii desuka? Sukutte Moratte Ii desuka? +sequel, ...)
GA Bunko ( Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry, Hundred)
Just a few that I would like to see. -
@sparhawk6
Fujimi Fantasia Bunko is a label from Fujimi Shobo wich is brand company of Kadokawa Corporation.MF Bunko J... brand company of Kadokawa Corporation.
Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko... well, you know what.
GA Bunko is a subsidiary of Softbank (OK no Kadokawa for once).
For other publishers I'd like
AlphaPolis (Tsuyokute New Saga, Rain),
Gagaga Bunko (Sasami-san@Ganbaranai, Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita)
