Novel pick-up requests

sparhawk6

@Eternal-Wanderer Well, there are a couple of brand companies that belong under Kadokawa Corporation, like Media Factory, ASCII Media Works, Chukei Publishing Company, Enterbrain, Fujimi Shobo, Kadokawa Gakugei Shuppan Publishing, Kadokawa Magazines, Kadokawa Shoten.
But for example Softbank is still free and there is more of them for sure.

And Kodansha doesn´t own 51% of YP, it is Kadokawa.

@sparhawk6 Sorry screwed that up, in hindsight its a pretty dumb mistake, fixed now though.

Yoshino Takumi's novel "Rain"

I'd definitely buy translations for

Izure Shinwa no Ragnarok
Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko
Kou-1 desu ga Isekai de Joushu Hajimemashita
Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin

Been praying for ages for these series to get any sort of translation, and since you've made true a few of my wishes already (NeeChuu and Little Apocalypse) I'm keeping my hopes up

@paulnamida you mentioned Ryuugajou!! KISS ME! :D 😂😂

Shinberoy

How about
Kusuriya no Hitorigoto
? It sounds really great and I would love to see the LN <3

I second this request. The first chapter of the manga adaptation is really good at making me want to read the Light Novel.

I super want Asobi ni Iku yo!

santi Brathana

@Aruseus493 Also seconded.

This (Koushaku Reijou no Tashinami) and The Story of Saiunkoku (Saiunkoku Monogatari) are the two stories I want to see official English releases for the most! Unfortunately they're both published by Kadokawa and they're both shoujo light novel series so the odds are very poor. :cry: I'm a sucker for stories that delve into fantasy politics, economics and court drama though and I'd buy anything along those lines - I really enjoy Realist Hero, for instance.

Requesting The New Gate since the fan-translator has apparently been running a timed pay-wall for chapters which honestly is among the worst things you could do. :-\

Crunchyroll is getting an anime called Knight's and Magic which is based on novels?

That'd be cool to get. Some mecha in it I think.

Bakaneko

Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi. I loved the anime and have always wanted to follow the story to its end. It's not Isekai or harem, so it always gets overlooked. I would buy the entire series without question.

Terrence

I forget if we have a thread for novels acquired by other pubs. Hearing there's been announcements at Anime Expo for a few things.

Noteworthy:

Elves and a Pizza Parlor
Vending Machine Reincarnation?
Possibly Goblin Slayer spin-off stuff.

Edit: Yen Press Periscope is up on their Twitter.

@Terrence There were 5 licenses. Posted them on /r/lightnovels. You're missing the little sister fetish one, and Slime Slayer.

ImIlyaz

@Aruseus493 I've been looking around, but I can't seem to find Yen Press' new licenses, any help? And will more licenses be announced or is that it for now?
