      I have hundreds of titles (manga & novels) I wanna see licensed (put together in .txt files or S notes documents)

      I was curious about the actual number so I just combined 2 lists of mine and got 409 (didn't dare to add the rest...)
      130 Manga
      279 Novels

          Well, if we are competing, I can add my amazon.co.jp and Bookwalker wishlist, and the rest of my documents lol
          But I am too lazy for that. lol
          I thought it was like 200-250 titles...but to find the list might have reached 1k (that was a surprise)

            Can someone help me with this license a bit. I'd like to request it because it seems to be Yuri comedy, but I just don't know what the title even is in English.

            " 将来的に死んでくれ "

              It's fan-translated with romaji title, Shouraiteki ni Shindekure.

                But, weellll, if you are looking for title translation, Google Translate ain't pulling your leg lol
                Shouraiteki (Shourai = Future, teki is to turn noun into adjectives)
                Shindekure (Shinde = die, kure = informal please)

                So, yeah, It's something along the lines of "Please die in the future" lol (but I am not the best to ask around about JP anyway)

                  @Terrence Thats really disappointing..ah well. I've read the WN so I'd have to wait either way to get to a point where the content is new anyhow.

                  I have to wait until around vol 3-ish to get to new content for me.

                    @drone205 Yeah I'm up to chapter 303 in the WN, whichever book that is for Sword Dad.

                      @sam-dukes I assume each book is like 25-30 ish WN chapters as it roughly lines up with what would be a climax for each book

                        I just hope the book is heavily edited.

                        I read the WN now and then and holy crap is there a lot of meandering croft in there. Not even Slice of Life, just meandering and wallowing and not /anything/, interspersed by cool action and slice of life.

                          Arifureta again. It's possible they are mocking us.

                            @novurdim Yesterday I thought "At least there is no more Arifurueta for them to license" but I was wrong... I swear they are just trolling us at this point

                              Is there any more Arifureta they could license? A doujinishi perhaps? An anthology with different mangaka? =P

                                    speaking of anthologies I wouldn't mind if they licensed the YagaKimi anthology that came out recently

                                        Looks like the next one Seven Seas picked up is a manga series, Nicola's Demon World Travels. I haven't heard of this one, but it seems interesting.

                                          My guess for next one: Gyaru Tensei - Isekai Seikatsu Maji Darui

                                            Another very recent Comic Garden title...
                                            Like this one and ghostly things only got out like near beginning of last year.
