Hmm, that Seven Seas licensed novel hasn't been updated since the 3rd volume in October 2018 (appears to be a novel-novel and not an LN, so not too unusual to be spaced out longer).
Main character is 42? I definitely could use more mature heroes.
The publisher isn't a usual suspect it seems too. Lots of their popular line looks to be BL.
-
This looks interesting to me as a 40-something dude Who used to play D&D.
I feel Seven Seas has been putting out a lot of great stuff. They may actually have the highest LN hit ratio for me. I follow Average Abilities, Toradora and Classroom of the Elite. There’s a few others they have that I’m excited to start too.
-
Does anyone know when we can expect "The middle age man" serie to be released?
Do you like death, war and misery ?
Do you like badass op loli who let nobody got in their way ?
Do you like vengeance story?
If so then then vote for The girl who ate a death god -
@raitoiro Last time I asked in Discord Sam said it got delayed a bit because of his mistake (so TL start got delayed). I guess we should be getting it anytime now though.
-
speaking of new licenses, didn't Sam say during the last announcement thing there would probably be a few more series announced later in the summer? Around when would that be, most likely?
-
@yumenokage There will probably be announcements at AX.
-
@myskaros
thanks. I remembered some event being mentioned but couldn't remember what it was. I'm not really in a position to travel around to cons so I've never kept track of them.If we get some there, then it'll be just a bit more than a month. :)

It looks like the Oregairu light novels are finally having a digital release on June 25th:
Which would also mean that Shogakukan is finally open for digital releases.
I can't see any preorders yet though. Although there are for the manga series, which is also getting a digital release a week earlier.
It's perhaps a bit too early to tell, but I hope it's correct. Have been waiting for them for quite a while.
Quof got a break.
WHAT'S THE STORY WITH THAT FREAKING BLACK DRAGON?! -
can we update the title of this thread? I keep looking for a specific JNC release announcement based on the topic (I think the original 9 are old news now, yes? ) Maybe "new releases, announcements and speculations"
-
@jon-mitchell Thy wish is my command.

literally LOL

Ooh. Anything super notable that people want from them?
(Understand we shouldn't jump to conclusions as you said of course).

Not sure these count as notable, but I'd love to see Ore, Twintail ni Narimasu. and the Expelled from Paradise prequel novel get licensed. Sam pls.
-
@terrence I personally want Humanity has Declined.
Cop Craft (from FMP's author) is getting an anime. There are old finished series such as Shimoneta and GJ Club too.
(On a side note, I'd also be happy with Watari's Qualidea Code novels - which I'm clearly aware that it's not going to happen. But there are not enough Wataru Watari novels in English.)

Apparently they had false listings before, for Log Horizon. I (mostly) hope these are real, but I’m not getting my hopes up.
(I also kinda hope they don’t, just so I don’t have to figure out how to handle having half the series in print...)
-
All of those ones you've guys mentioned I would want. Especially Cop Craft.
That one about the Demon Lord marrying the mom of the hero I'd like. That and that one where the main character's best friend is the hero, "Is it tough being a 'friend'".
-
Sam has said multiple times he has been trying persistently to get Cop Craft, so I really hope that will work out. Maybe Shogakukan will want to see Sam successfully translate FMP and release those omnibuses first though, so they will know he is legit.

The Humanity Has Declined anime was dark-humored fun. I'm too lazy to add a license request thread but I'd upvote yours.
I really enjoyed the GJ Club anime too, but I don't normally read (more or less) ordinary stories set in modern Japan so I couldn't upvote that one.

You quoted a link to the suggestion topic, FYI.

D'OH! (slaps forehead)
I guessed (for no reason) that was a link to an outside description of the series and didn't click it. Instead I searched the suggestion subforum topic titles, but this topic only lists the Japanese version.
Oh well, upvoted it is. :)
