@NeoAnkara said in Novel pick-up requests:
her 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 tI 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.

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.
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.

Also I have two novels I would like to see~ (at the moment)
Yondome wa Iyana Shi Zokusei Majutsushi - (The Death Attribute Mage Who Doesn't Want a Fourth Time)
Kita no Toride Nite - (At the Northern Fort)The first one is a bit dark but its really good
And the second... its so sweeeeet <3 -

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.
-
We should have a separate thread on requeeting the LN with those sentence-length names.
-
@Kadmos1: we should have an ongoing list of titles that were suggested and licensed by J-Novel or other companies.
-
@Hakomari I do know Kaze no Stigma :P
-
There are some titles I'm afraid don't have a snowballs chance in hell but I would still really like to read them.
Hentai ouji to warawanai neko
Papa no iu koto o kikinasai
Shinonome Yuuko wa Tanpen Shousetsu o Aishite Iru
Denpa onna to seishun otoko
Would be nice to know how realistic seeing any of those would be. -
@nichtmalda Hentai Ouji was licensed at one point by Digital Manga Guild. But they pretty much just never did anything with it.

Clockwork Planet

Shinmai Maou manga ends with vol 8 and I am really disappointed from the manga.
Now left to license LN. But question is who will do it? Seven Seas can, they have manga rights but I will prefer J-Novel because of the speed factor. But again, it will be about who will have balls to license a bit of borderline - H LN. Shinmai is actually pretty good LN. -
One of the things I like about J Novel Club is that you guys bring over good stories that haven't been adapted into anime. However, the only LNs that I know of that haven't been translated into English are those with an anime, so I'm in a bind there. If I had to pick from ones with an anime, it would be:
The Legend of Legendary Heroes
Madan no Ou to VanadisHowever, there's probably a snowball's chance in hell of Legend of Legendary Heroes getting licensed, because it's so long.
So instead, I'll use this. Please pick something that is a darker and more serious with a fantasy or sci-fi setting (other world or not, either is fine) and has a protagonist with a character arc. The Faraway Paladin, Grimgar, and Bluesteel Blasphemer are good examples of this.
-
@Eins Ho ho Madan is good, I recommend it here a few times. But it is sad that it will end with the next volume. (Still hope for a sequel) I know that Seven Seas have manga license, but it will be cool if J-Novel will get LN license.
-
Hi everyone! Crunchy's new licenses reminded me of a title I wanted to read the source material of: Library Wars!
There are a total of four light novels by Hiro Arakawa: Toshokan Sensō, Toshokan Nairan, Toshokan Kiki, and Toshokan Kakumei. They were published in Japan by MediaWorks.
The manga spinoffs are predictably skewed toward their shounen and shoujo audiences...meh. I can't find anyone who's licensed it for translation. J Novel Club seems a poignant choice to pick it up, don't you think? ;)
