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
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.
-
So yeah, all you people asking for Grimgar...
There you go!
-
: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.
-
Would you guys ever pick up any of the Gundam Universal Century timeline novels? I'd love to read the Zeta and Double zeta novels!

Yes! This would make me happy beyond belief!
-
Man, I just love checking who owns the rights to each series requested here and you realize shockingly that Kadokawa has a iron grip on all media in Japan. It's kind of funny.
-
To be sure I understand, Kadokawa titles are all unavailable?
-
@Dark-Star-Key
I don't think so, it is definitely going to be harder to get licenses from them as they have their own overseas ebook publisher in Yen Press which makes it a bit troublesome (even though they only license novels based from popular animes at the time).
It depends on how Kadokawa sees things in the market, basically. Competition or whether they want everyone to live in harmony.
-
@mattbasby Oh snap! I support this! I want to read Hathaway's flash so much.
