Shave the Beard, Pickup a Schoolgirl [Licensed by Kadokawa]

@malloc said in Shave the Beard, Pickup a Schoolgirl:
From Truant to Anime Screenwriter: My Path to “Anohana” and “The Anthem of the Heart”.
I think the entirety of that is the true story of Mari Okada (bought it, but haven't read it much because I haven't watched most of her movies yet to get the context). So it's a little bit different.
But it's certainly an experimental title though, not among the other fantastical works, yeah.

Does JNC have any titles like this? Contemporary setting, slice of life, romantic comedy w/o anything supernatural? Once I read a better synopsis ( that this isn’t about a predator or a 21 jump street scenario ) I became interested. It gets my vote

@bloodygaikotsu
Thanks for this. Some I had already upvoted, some were new to me, some I had forgotten about.I think that I’d buy just about any of these. Although I’d prefer either an ongoing series or a completed series (with an actual ‘end’) as opposed to anything either open or orphaned.
Sam, pick a couple and take my $$
-
The description is rather yikes, but what I've read has been pretty wholesome, so it has my vote.
-
Here's another promotional image for volume 3 (doesn't look like much in the way of spoilers, but I'll just leave the link).

@terrence I am more interested in that slide/insert picture what is that? a tapestry, bonus artwork, or foil (alternative cover)?
-
They say something about a foil in the Twitter post.
-
Volume 3 finished 5th in sales for light novels for the week in Japan. 5,757 copies sold.
Edit: Feb 9th update.
Volumes 1-3 got reprints last week it seems.
-
Even though I've read most of the first volume thanks to YunS (Far more wholesome than title suggests), I can still say I'd gladly purchase this if JNC got it.
-
Vol.1 was a great read. Down to earth modern slice of life with heap of social commentary on various topics (sometimes quite disturbing). And a huge jab at otaku wet dreams and fetishes.
Definitely one of the series I'd love to see licensed. -
This post is deleted! -
I'm here just to add that second volume was even better.
P.S.: can someone change thread title, please? To romaji or current english fanTL one. Current one is pretty misleading imo. -
Manga been getting some promotion lately. Here's a little advertisment thingie I think.

And you can see the manga's volume 2 cover here.
-
This is getting an anime.
-
Wow, hasn’t even been out for two years, only three volumes released, and it’s already getting anime. Cmon Kadokawa, let JNC get some new stuff.
-
Manga licensed by One Peace Books (I feel like ANN kinda buried the lead here by highlighting that other manga in the title).
-
Guess One Peace is uninterested with light novels other than Shield Hero. With the anime coming out in just a couple weeks, it's a shame the LN wasn't licensed.
-
This has an alternative title "I Shaved, Then I Bought A High School Girl Home". I have read the fan translation (up to some of v2) and it is not as the description implies. So far a "Slice of Life" with the man's relationships becoming more complex as the story progresses. Worth a read. (I have no idea what shaving has to do with the story).
