      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

      Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

        Probably late to the party, since the anime is done, but Gosick would be glorious.

        "Hey, Mr. "Everything was Better in the 90's"! Your internet speed is so slow that it took you 8 hours to watch 60 Minutes!"

          Going with recent annocements

          High school DxD is getting a new anime season so might appeal to get the novels

          Date A Live just annouced a new spin-off LN series, though i Don't know the plot just the date of 11/19

            I wonder if it's possible to pick up Light Novels that were dropped by other publishers?

            Off the top of my head, Kino no Tabi, Full Metal Panic, Scrapped Princess, and The Twelve Kingdoms from Tokyopop's line. The Boogiepop series would be cool too.

              @whoisfriend I'm interested in delving into older LNs like those as well, but I wonder... Is there really a demand? It seems like the majority of readers are mostly interested in newer LNs, or at least the newer ones that are currently being adapted into anime. Not trying to insinuate that this is a bad thing, it's just the general image I have so far.

                @dluffy That's kind of what I was thinking as well, which is a little unfortunate for a long-time fan like myself. Older titles don't sell as well, and that's just the reality of how the industry goes.

                Still, FMP is getting a new anime, so who knows what kind of interest JNC would need to license an older title. A digital-only release might be worth it if the price was right.

                  Problem with these is that the company that publish them is part of Kadokawa and they are doing their own thing through Yen Press.

                    I just finished the anime, so I would like to request the Cheer Boys novel.

                    Also another one I thought of was Myriad colors phantom world.

                      @dluffy I would LOVE older light novels to get translated, but do agree that they might not be as popular. I suspect however that a higher profile older LN might do as well as a very low profile newer LN.

                          :ok_hand: Sweet! Good job, amazing to see such a long running series picked up too as well.

                            Really happy to see Grimgar being picked up, I will excitedly run off and read those four parts now!

                            The longer running series also sounds interesting. It must be pretty good if it's at 16 volumes in Japan, so I'll definitely give that a shot too. Keep up the good work @Sam-Pinansky!

                              @Fezu Yeah, we'll be caught up to the Japanese release nice and quick! Like, 2-3 years? (Let's hope the sales numbers keep it profitable!)

                                That'd be surprising, hopefully it sells well! I be sure to buy credits for volumes for it.. The concept intersts me lots!

                                Is the series anywhere done or is it a series that just keeps going on and on, because it has all these wacky interactions? Would you say the novels are going towards a conclusions or do you think maybe when you catch up there's already 2-3 new volumes?

                                  @Fezu I'm pretty sure it's set up in a segmented way where they can start ending it when they feel like, but no end in immediate sight. Honestly I haven't read it all yet...

                                    @Sam-Pinansky Ah, that's always nice. I guess with a plot like that it could be endless if the author wants to.

                                      @Fezu Already in part 1 it mentions that he saves "hundreds" of girls... So let's say 3 a volume, they've still got like 16 more volumes to go at least!

                                        Musaigen no Phantom World would be really nice...
                                        Thanks for the Grimgar license, nice to see that.

                                          I've been enjoying the anime so far, so I'd like to see Magical Girl Raising Project (or Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku) picked up.

                                            Would love to see fate stay night light novel series get picked up. I heard there are some just never really seen them around because they are all Japanese.
