@rahul-balaggan said in Novel pick-up requests:
SoftBank
Kyoani
AlphapolisDon't know much of the first two publishers, but I thought Alphapolis was okay when I asked about "Chihou Kishi Hans no Junan" and "Spirit Migration".
-
@kite-xx I see the previous conversation you are referring to. Thy user said that Alphapolis is not related to Kadokawa so it “shouldn’t” be a problem.
However they are still reluctant to license their novels.
All we know is that they were approached for potential licensing but they never replied.
Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

They've licensed out some of their manga. Re:Monster to Seven Seas and Gate to Sekai Project. (Although they might become even more sour to licensing since Sekai Project has seriously dropped the ball.) At least for English. Apparently France is almost caught up with the Gate manga.It might be something LN specific too.

@aruseus493 I would consider licensing manga and licensing light novels to be 2 separate beasts and all we have on the light novel side is the fact that they were reached out to for licensing and then nothing.

@rahul-balaggan
"Sighhh." Geez, who knew licensing would have all these complications and somewhat. At this rate, I'll be out of light novels I want to mention here. And just a curious question, what of Square Enix? How are they involved in manga and light novels? -
Personally I want Isekai Mahou wa Okureteru to get official translations.
-
Hey look, it's Haru and Yume.

@terrence That's Souma, though.
-
@kite-xx they are involved in manga and many of their manga has been licensed in English.
I am not sure about light novels, I don’t think they are but if they are someone will come here see his and want to correct me.
-
I'd really like to see "Akuyaku Tensei Dakedo Doushite Kou Natta", by Sekimura Imuya. It's a really interesting story, in my opinion.

Awhile back I said that JNC could pick up newer LN with 3 or fewer books out since JNC translates really quickly and we would be only 1.5 - 3 months behind the Japanese releases. I still think that can happen but I was thinking and maybe JNC should either focus on older series with a lot of books or divide newer and older series 50-50. If JNC picks up a series with 20+ books then It would take about 5 years to get in the 20s (and this is assuming a slow release or something happens with the translator or just taking breaks) whereas if say Yen-On gets that 20+ series it would take nearly 7 years to get into the 20s. I would rather have JNC get the older series with a lot of volumes if it means a faster release and I get behind a bit.
some long series I would like to see translated if possible are:
Date a Live
Highschool DxD
Familiar of Zero
Mushoku Tensei
Madan no Ou to Vanadis
Campione!and just some series I would like to see here:
Only Sense Online

I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated -
@rahul-balaggan I assumed they were involved in light novels when I searched up light novels I liked and know what companies it was related to. Square Enix popped up on a site when I searched up "Classroom for Heroes" :
Still, even if it's impossible, I really, really, really want to read "Konjiki no Word Master". It's one of the reasons I got into light novels in the first place.
