Novel pick-up requests
-
If anyone is looking for ideas on books that are popular in Japan and could be worth licensing, Justus R Stone has been posting a regular video about the top ten weekly LN sales in Japan.
Classroom of the Elite very popular right now with the anime.

i would like to see "Amagi Brilliant Park" translated, i've read the 2 first volumes and i liked the anime until i read the book and understood how much better it was before the studio got it's hands on it.
-
Really would like to see "Irresponsible Captain Taylor" picked up, it's a really old light novel series that had an old sci-fi comedy anime made from it. The novels continue where the anime left off.
-
Tbh I'd love to see Unbreakable Machine Doll get picked up. It's a long series so far at 15 volumes and robots in love with humans is entirely my jam.

Tsuujou Kougeki ga Zentai Kougeki de Ni-kai Kougeki no Okaa-san wa Suki desu ka?
Mother (MILF) goes into the Isekai with her son. =P
I definitely second that one, though I don't know too much yet (I'm guessing it'll be more comedy than romance? I can just imagine the scenarios where she ruins things for her son by being there). 😛

I would like to read C3, Zero no Tsukaima, Campione, and Date a Live (▰˘◡˘▰)

Yes, yes, one thousand times yes!

@terrence romance as in between the son and mother? I'd say that's pretty... Unique?

I sure hope not. :cold_sweat:
I think the guy has a potential harem that the mother will ruin his chances of flirting with. Like, there's a scene in the trailer for the book of the mother
And I could totally see her trying to "help" him, but instead embarrassing him in front of the ladies (like showing them baby pictures, telling them about his hobbies, mussing up his hair before a date).
I hope the mother gets an older romantic partner too, but we'll see if this goes beyond simple pandering.
Here's the trailer if you're curious.
Trailer for book two:
Also, was there some sort of Final Fantasy side game included in one of the light novels? I want it. This and that Konosuba Mega Man game.

Please no. Mothers exist to become their son's bride.

I think, over on ANN some time ago, Sam said the mom novel was currently in a bidding war, so JNC wouldn't be looking to license it.

I remember he joked about the Vending Machine Reincarnation being in a bidding war... And then it was licensed by Yen Press, so maybe that wasn't a joke.

Another one... I've seen some manga, and would be interested in an official release of the light novel...
Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru
Guy wins the lottery and decides to hole himself up in a private abandoned house of his families...
But then he finds out one of the doors leads to an alternate world... -
I have a couple of suggestions. First one would be Restaurant to Another World. Second one would be Eromanga-sensei. Not very confident about that one, because it's published by Dengeki Bunko and they seem to be super tight with Yen Press.

Been seeing clips of this on Crunchyroll. I don't really get the presentation of the dishes in this one. They're so plain. Like, a baked potato? Really?
-
@terrence It's a bit of an odd anime. They spent the vast majority of the first eight episodes doing character introductions. I'm wondering if the story is going to start moving soon. The potential is there, but will it be realized?
-
I'd like to see Oda Nobuna no Yabou as well as Amagi Brilliant Park get picked up
-
Gun-ota ga Mahou Sekai Light Novel is a must. Definitely going to buy it.
-
@unholyfiretruck Oh yes I would love to see Amagi Brilliant Park translated too. I think it'll make a great LN
