      I hope the mother gets an older romantic partner too

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

        Tsuujou Kougeki ga Zentai Kougeki de Ni-kai Kougeki no Okaa-san wa Suki desu ka?

        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...

            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...

            What am I reading?

              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?

                      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

                          Watching the last couple of episodes has convinced me, Gamers is something that needs to be licensed. Not to mention it would give this site an actual slice of life series, something it lacks at the moment.

                            If people are looking to learn about series that aren't in English to suggest here, Justus R Stone posted a new video on the top selling volumes in Japan for the past week, and there's lots of ones most people have probably never heard of.

                                      You're forgetting UchiMusume. Also, I wouldn't consider Gamers! to be a slice of life series.

                                        @aruseus493 Considering Uchi-Musume is based in a fantasy world I wouldn't really catagorize it as slice of life series either and thinking about it Gamers really is more of a romantic comedy than a slice of life series. Though since it lacks any supernatural hi jinks that we see in so many light novels nowadays I would still say it has slice of life elements.

                                          Yeah, they both seem pretty fun - I would definitely read both of these! I had a quick google and they're both Kadokawa though so probably a no-go though from JNC. :(

                                          Edit: I'm sure this has been brought up before but what are the odds of Arcadia Garden being picked up? It's Overlap but has multiple authors (the first volume says there will be 10 authors for the series) so I don't know whether that complicates things or not. I'd like to see more from Kanata Yanagino so I'm interested in this.

                                            I think you guys should take a look at Shinka No Mi, The Evolution Fruit – Conquering Life Unknowingly.
