@aruseus493 I know! I really liked Himura, not sure if just platitudes but Kawahara said if they do an SAO:P anime he hopes they'll use his designs.

I agree with manga adaptations of LNs. For example, Seven Seas has the manga versions of Rokudenashi and also "Mushoku Tensei", which the LN has been one of their most requested licenses for a while...

[surma1412]

Can you pls try and pick-up this LN. The WN version of these LN is one I would say the plot and characters are one of best you can find

**

• Yuusha, Aruiwa Bakemono to Yobareta Shoujo (The Maiden called Hero or Monster) 2 volumes (completed)
  Synopsis:** That girl once called “Hero,”
  She was seen as the savior of Humanity, and as the ultimate obliterator of Demons plaguing the world. Her magic was rule-breaking, her healing powers almighty, her weapon mastery unparalleled, and her will was of steel.
  And then, she was called “monster,” and her tremendous power and abnegation was feared. Betrayed by her own comrades, she continued alone in her mission. She will not stop until all Demons are eradicated. Killing, killing, killing them all. Because that’s the Hero’s duty.
  Losing her past, gaining new companions won’t alter her path. There is only one reason guiding her actions.
  “Because I’m a hero.”

• Shinigami wo Tabeta Shoujo (The Girl Who Ate a Death God) 2 volumes (completed)
  Synopsis:** What happens when one eats Death?
  Personally, I don’t really know. What I do know is merely one thing.
  I’m hungry.
  Therefore, I’ll take the heads of these guys and deliver them to my superiors.
  Surely, I’ll be able to eat delicious food.
  Come, if preparations are in order, we depart.

• Karin wo Idaita Shoujo (The Girl Who Bore the Flame Ring) 3 volumes (completed)
  Synopsis:** How long I’d been here, I couldn’t quite recall. From this sorry situation, I as always raised my eyes to the sky; a sky in which the great, massive sun was clad in levity. Sunlight poured gently upon all. What a blessing it would have been for the world if only the skies could remain clear. For tomorrow too, and for all days to come, I was to continue to pray for calm. To endure for those who cried, with desperation I remained in prayer.
  And then, one freezing, forlorn, soulless, stagnant, drizzly day we died. Or so I thought…

Listen to me girls, I am your Father:

That one would definitely be a nice license.

I'm curious about this one

it's called "Isekai Shuugaki Ryokou"

[Terrence]

This is a Hobby Japan release releasing soon.

Seems to be about someone who exits a virtual world to find their real world in some disarray. The New Gate is a similar setup, right?

---

This one looks whimsical... Well, besides the weaponry on the cover. x(

Guy ends up in another world, but he chooses FPS style attack skills to one-shot his enemies there. I'm curious how he fits into the setting and if his level of armament clashes with the setting as much as this cover.

Our answer to the other GATE novel? xD

I actually posted it because of the buxom, mature dark-elf in the inserts. =P

This is that one about the muscly Aniki who goes to live with the dude as an exchange student, and probably helps the nerdy dude get closer to the red head (<---- Yes, this is my version of a light novel title).

@Drone205 You're requesting fan service heavy light novels with an anime adaption, right?

[myskaros]

They're all in Japanese!

[Drone205]

@terrence Back at you!

[Terabyte]

lol

While I've seen some of those and know the titles, I haven't seen others. At least add a title guys :P

I want all of these!

I'll try, but I'm just using Bookwalker to find em.. and some of the titles are very broken when translated. =(

For Drone's, I know Chivalry of a Failed Knight, I've seen the Mecha one on the bottom (would love it, but I think it's Kadokawa like a lot of stuff). Other one I gotta check too.

Edit 2: The bottom one has Ecstas Online in English on it. The top one has a romaji title on the cover.

@Terabyte Honestly, I barely skim this topic these days, it's just a pastebin for LN covers now.

I put links to the store pages for every single one of mine these days.

But we're just having fun with red heads, yes. =P

Edit: Added "titles" (Google really struggling).

[myskaros]

@terrence Maybe the thread is just evolving to a different form, but I liked it more when it was people posting their own blurbs on why a series is good. The majority of screen real estate in this topic is now occupied by giant pictures and white space. You've also admitted that you haven't even read most of these books, you're just posting them for posterity I guess? But then there's no discussion. Again, maybe this is just what this thread is becoming, but I don't have to like it.

@myskaros for what it’s worth every light novel I have previously suggested I have never read before, that’s cause I don’t read fan translations.

Based off of the cover and a synopsis, and whether it had an anime, or a licensed manga adaptation is what goes into me deciding if I want it or not. If I read the story already it would have been licensed by now Andy I wouldn’t have had to request it.
