          I read some of the fan translation for Moonlight Sculptor. It was one of the most interesting VRMMO stories I read. The protagonist is a greedy RMT guy who exploits the world, because it pays for his real life expenses.

          Also, I'm down for the Mommy Isekai just because Pochi is doing the art. Really like the Elder Sister manga.

              I found the ultimate Harem guys:

              Shinomiya Paradise Base Harem League Baseball

              後宮楽園球場 ハレムリーグ・ベースボール

              alt text

              They fight for the love of the emperor... With Baseball!

              (On a side note, these two volumes are 111 yen each on Bookwalker right now, and Amagi Brilliant Park's first five volumes are only 30 yen each).

                Not currently reachable by J-Novel Club, but I still want it. Give me some Eromanga-sensei. It's such a damn good romcom that I wish would get licensed. Been reading the series for a while but the fan-translations for volume 6 become pretty poor part way through so I wish it was licensed.

                Eromanga-sensei Volume 1

                  There's likely no chance JNC will get this, because it's Kadokawa, but I figured I'd bring it up.

                  Looks like a sequel to the anime Gargantia.

                  In addition, there's a Bellows manga prequel... Though, I just don't like looking back in prequels. All about the present.

                      Märchen Mächen
                      It is in Japanese and has yet to be translated

                      That anime bump. Gotta get on it quick JNC or other publishers!

                        @cleveravi I’m surprised it’s just a single volume that came out less than a year ago, and it’s already getting a 12 episode anime. They must be adding a bunch of anime original material or something.

                          Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers covered one volume in 12 or 13 episodes, no extra content iirc.

                            @terrence According to this, the anime bump only lasts 2 months with 80% drop-off at that. So unless it's already licensed and is gonna get a release soon, I doubt they'll be able to make the most out of an anime bump.

                                @legitpancake The thing with Marchen Machen is that the original author died shortly after laying the concepts behind this series. The publishing company simply got another author to pick up it's remains and build something out of it. Not sure if the whole plot was already laid by the original creator (Tomohiro Matsu, better known for Papa no Iukoto o Kikinasai) or only the setting, but I guess the publisher is trying to make a multimedia project out of it.

                                  Would something R/adult be off the table? I'm not sure if the following is a possibility due to content/publisher/target demo but I would love to see Tanaka The Wizard picked up by JNC. Has anyone else even heard of the title? An unimpressive looking middle aged man is transported to another world with his original appearance. He ends up just wanting a simple life and to own a house but of course some situation drags him into the middle of something. His fetishes and inner thoughts are sometimes a bit extreme but does the right thing for those he cares about. What I have read in fan translations of the web novel a lot of the supporting cast seem to have "unique" personalities to contrast their typical appearance.

                                        Yeah, that one sold well enough in Japan to feature in Justus' Weekly Top 10 this week.

                                        I think he / she ends up with no magic too, right? I assume the other character ends up carrying them and then he gets a party, and that's how he becomes powerful.

                                        Edit: The main character gets to the skill selection part, and all the good skills were taken by the other classmate summoned before him. He then proceeds to

                                        On another note, how do we feel about Polar Bear Reincarnation? It's an HJ Novel.

                                          They're giving away 3 signed copies of this book on Twitter (I think... That's what Google Translate Tells me).

                                            @terrence If we believe google translator, I also noticed it said volume 1 sold out? Although I'm a little skeptical of that translation.

                                            Otherwise, Overlap has been big on twitter giveaways and little contests lately. I think they enjoy mocking my lack of a Japanese address.
