Novel pick-up requests
-
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?
-
I would love to see kokoro connect and hyouka being translated!
-
@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 :)
-
Oh and i second Violet Evergarden. Would be nice if someone tackled some of the works KyoAni publishes that no one seems to want to trsnslate.
-
How feasible would "Antimagic Academy - 35th Test Platoon" be for licensing?
Although the anime was unfortunately a disappointment in the end, it did however have a dedicated following in the underworld before then, which the anime helped to add to.
And it did represent the least cookie-cutter source material out of the comparable shows of similar genre (particularly Asterisk and Rakudai) that aired the same season, and had strong cross-appeal for viewers of those shows. Unfortunately the anime ended right where is commonly cited as the real turning point when the series starts to really show its strengths.
Though it's under Kadokawa, it might be able to be picked up on the cheap since the anime underperformed.
-
I would also be interested in Antimagic Academy and also Horizon in the Middle.
The golden egg for me would be Gundam light novels, but I imagine those aren't feasible...
-
I'd be so happy if you could just translate these novels, please:
DanMachi
No Game No Life
Mahouka Koukou No Rettousei -
@SinCity
You do realize that these are licensed by Yen Press, don't you? -
It's a shame we will have to compete with Yen Press for most novels. I felt like getting some of the big ones would bring a lot of new customers, however most are already licensed... shame.

Not that problematic seeing as Yenpress tends to pick up the big hit anime series based on Light novels.
HJ Bunkos' Hikikomori no Kanojo wa Kami nano desu would've been really nice to see too.
Surprised no one has mentioned Infinite Stratos (that'd be a big title, I guess) though it'd be hard to get the first 7 volumes since the license carried over to HJ after vol 7 and the original license is from Media Factory. Not sure how feasible it would be.
-
@AviNyah thats why i think kokoro conect would help a lot! Its not liscensed and its relatively big

Would love to get Kokoro Connect. The anime stopped too soon!

I saw that one from HJ, haven't had a chance to read it yet. Why do you recommend it?
-
Oh it just seemed interesting to me, cute heroine, interesting hero power, comedy but with serious plot and writing attached to it too. Also I'm a sucker for NEET-like heroines. If you can't tell with my other recommendation, as well.
Also it does remind me a bit of Sasami-san in a way too, haha. Except without the heavily siscon and the references to japanese mythology.
The only problem is that it's finished and isn't ongoing anymore. Apparently it seems it was rather well liked from the amazon.co.jp reviews I read. Also apparently it has a great finish, though. (8 volumes)
So from an outside perspective I think it really sounds like a fun read.
-
Since Seven Seas is not doing the rest, I'd love to read Shinigami no Ballad.
-
Would like to see any of the following:
-Chivarly of a Failed Knight
-Heavy Object
-Aldermin on The Sky
-Oreimo
-Ero-Manga Sensei
-Sunday Without God
-Maoyu
-Beyond The Boudary
-I Couldn't Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job.I know that the following will be real hard to get but I will still put them here:
-Shokugeki No Soma Ala Cart
-Black Clover Novels
