      Since I've just stumbled upon the opening of the anime again.
      Is Katanagatari already licensed? If not, please pick it up?

        +1 for whoever that said Kou 1 Desu ga Isekai de Joushu Hajimemashita
        Also if Seiken Tsukai no World Break is here it will be nice. Other thing is whatever on the front page on HJ Bunko page right now like Hyakuren no Haou to Seiyaku no Valkyria.

          @NeoAnkara Yep, I mention Kou 1 Desu ga Isekai de Joushu Hajimemashita before too, it is HJ so it should be possible. But it will be awesome to see Hagure no Yuusha!
          Btw, welcome to J-Novel, we did write before on AS Rokujouma forum.

            @sparhawk6 Just get the chance to become member. It's hard if you don't have credit card needing to use roundabout way.

            Anyway I'm enjoying Kou 1 manga and it look like it will stay comfy series so it will be great if I can read the LN too.

              I would really like to see some old LN that are out of print or were dropped by the publishers if possible (Like Aria the scarlet ammo). I would also like books that are not hyped or mainstreamed (since Yen press has already been doing that) and it will give variety and not just stories we have already seen as anime. I also think translating the Chinese LN stories like New Gate would be a great idea.

                  I know this is not actually a light novel and not from the publishers that JNC has contract with, but I've read through 4 volumes of the manga adaption of Kyokou Suiri in just one night. And I love every single moment in it. So I hope one day this will get some love and published in English.

                  For anyone curious, Kodansha has published 4 out of 7 volumes manga in English here

                    New Gate is a Japanese light novel not a Chinese.

                      At the time of writing the series in the pickup bit at the bottom of the page are:
                      Skill-kurai no Eiyuutan
                      Maou no Ore ga Dorei Elf wo Yome ni Shitanda ga, Dou Medereba Ii?
                      Saikyou Mahoushi no Inton Keikaku
                      Rokujouma no Shinryakusha!? (already on here)
                      Tatakau Panya to Automaton Waitress (already announced for English release by Bookwalker Global)
                      Hyakuren no Haou to Seiyaku no Valkyria

                      Are these the series you were referring to or have they changed them in the meanwhile?

                        @kuuderes_shadow Well I'm not well informed for a series that not have been translated yet but that's pretty much it. The only one I have vague idea is Valkyria in which from what I know heading in a good direction. The other is one that have red haired heroine in which I have heard somewhere before.

                        Well I'm also watch some HJ Bunko promotional video but cannot really pinpoint at what the series is as I think it show up at the front page on HJ Bunko site too.

                          I really only commented to establish what series you were actually suggesting. Perhaps you could link to the series page on the HJ Bunko website? Or even to the video in question.

                          Was http://hobbyjapan.co.jp/hjbunko/series/176/ the one you meant? It was in the latest HJ Bunko Housoubu video and is the only series in the pickup section with a red-haired girl on the cover.

                            @kuuderes_shadow I think that's one. I remember watching the video for this too.

                            Well I can check the official channel latter for confirmation on what I see latter.

                              Make sure to request it from Seven Seas. They put out a form every month on their website now to send in Manga and LN requests.

                                    I really want it as well. The fan translations are slow and still on volume 2. And the anime is a hella bullet train. Really fucking rushed.

                                    There is really interesting content on later volumes which I want to read.

                                      @Hakomari Well, I know the story up to vol 8. And I must say, that I will be happy to see it licensed by J-Novel. Manga is licensed by Seven Seas and is coming out in august.
                                      Anime should cover up to vol 5, but it is really a speedrun. They left out so many good scenes : /

                                        I have read a lot of spoilers as well. Some parts of it gave me Kaze no Stigma vibes. Especially, the thing with the best girl. You know who I mean ;)

                                          @Hakomari Haha. Well, I still have hope that Sam will make it and pick this one together with Rakudai.
                                          But I think I know what part do you mean.

                                            Yeah, one can only dream. I wouldn't want anyone else picking this up because it will probably take years before they catch up to where the anime will finish. I am okay with other companies picking up Rakudai though.

                                            If you have watched Kaze no Stigma or know anything about the MC's backstory, you will definitely know who I mean.
