Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter by Reia
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
@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?
-
- Goblin Slayer Year One - Prequel to Goblin Slayer focusing on his first year as an adventurer supposedly. (Take with grain of salt cause I don't think the panelists even understood what Goblin Slayer was about since they thought he was low ranked.)
- Reborn as a Vending Machine, Now I Wander the Dungeon - Guy reincarnates as a vending machine in another world and can apparently only communicate with generic vending machine automated phrases. - MAL & LNDB
- The Hero and His Elf Bride Open a Pizza Parlor - Isekai series where MC opens up a Pizza Parlor apparently. I don't know much about it. - MAL
- I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years - Female MC dies of overworking and takes life easy in another world as an immortal witch. For 300 years, she killed slimes casually and accidentally became max level. - MAL
- A Sister's All You Need - Romcom(?) series about a Light Novel author with a huge little sister fetish, yet doesn't have a little sister. @Sam-Pinansky might like this one. >_> - MAL & LNDB
This is probably it for LN licenses from YP for this weekend. There's still a Seven Seas panel Monday though where they'll announce some more physical publications of J-Novel Club series as per the obvious totally not a hint tweet from J-NC's twitter this morning.
-
@Aruseus493 a thousand thanks!
"I've been killing slimes for 300 years" sounds interesting. A female lead, not bad.
-
Imouto sae Ireba Ii. - Did read vol 1 and have seen illustrations of next volumes. I am surprised that YP is going for this, because it is pretty lewd. But I like it. XD
Goblin Slayer Year One - Nice one, I like the GS series.
The Hero and His Elf Bride Open a Pizza Parlor - Looks actually interesting, will try it.
Reborn as a Vending Machine, Now I Wander the Dungeon - Will probably try it just for fun
But overall, I am disappointed from YP panel.
-
The Demon Lord’s building a city! is a refreshing take on the genre. I think it's very entertaining and will be good edition to J-Novel Club
-
So I read Gamers! right now and I'm pleased on how laid back the atmosphere is. Even if the character are savvy enough and it still full of cliche but the way it is carried is really interesting with two POV making it refreshing.
Please pick it. The anime will air too this summer.
-
Wait, wait, wait. Yen Press announced Maoyuu... Manga. =/

@TooFiveFive said in J-novel licensing manga?:
I think it would be awesome if you guys would simulpub manga on the site as well. I know it'd need new infrastructure but it'd be well worth it. I know the sites called j-NOVEL, but GAMEstop sells smartphones so I don't think that should be deterrent.
-
Wasn't sure if I put in my requests for June on Seven Seas, so I resubmitted.
Picked the two big anime adapted LNs of the season (HighSchool of the Elite; Knights and Magic) and Maoyuu.
I understand two of the 3 have manga being published by other companies, but hey, that didn't stop J-Novel Club from getting licenses before (Grimgar, Clockwork Planet).
-
@Terrence what's the Japanese name of "high school of the elite"?
-
@Hyferzftw Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e
I've read the first volume but it's not really that good to be honest. Feel like all over the place.
