Acquisitions Speculation - General
-
Softbank ... Rakudaaai or Hundred pleaseeee :D
-
I want Inou Battle in Everyday Life too.
Anyone know if it continues past the anime a bit (like what volume the anime ends at, and what they're on now)?
-
Well, cute LN from Softbank is also Majo no Tabitabi. There is also Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut, Seiken Tsukai no Kinju Eishou. ( 11 and 19 vol )
-
Yeah....Inou battle and noucome is a good comedy focused series alongside henneko
-
When is there usually an announcement? Just curious.
-
@jeffrey.nic Either the announcement page https://j-novel.club/announcements or subscribe to the newsletter and you should get notified for stuff like that.
-
If you wanna look at past announcements (all of these are based on either Forum topics for Vol 1 or the newsletter)
-
Clockwork Planet parts 1-3 went online. No time for speculation this time.
-
This makes me happy, I read the fan translation and have manga at home. Nice Sam!
-
Surprised that Kodansha let someone other than their sister company into their walled garden of licensing.
Wasn't a fan of the anime though.
But I wonder what else Kodansha has that I might like.
-
They have LN from Rakudai author, Ultimate Antihero. That is a good one LN.
Also ecchi Unlimited Fafnir , Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu :D -
Kinda hoping for something fresh that haven't been translated everywhere else.
-
I wonder if I should read Clockwork Planet... I really like the anime, but being more consistent than I've ever been reading 9 books that are not any kind of comic... can I make a 10th and be okay with my choice, not knowing what awesome stuff is still in store?

@Nico Clockwork planet LN is pretty good actually. Anime is not really good adaptation. Also, there are only 4 volumes out. Sames author as NGNL so he have lots stuffs to do. (Vol 4 came out over 1 year back)
-
@sparhawk6 Eh... not really that fussed over whether something adapts the source well, since I'd hardly have enough time to check out the source of everything I watch.
More so just want something to be enjoyable enough in the medium it is, as the medium it is, and I think it's decent enough at that. Of course, that's a lot easier to say without having actually read the source, and I can't do that with most things, but I probably will for this.
-
@sparhawk6 is it over at 4 volumes?
Or is it still ongoing and only 4 volumes were released.
Volume 4 came out in December of 2015.
If the story is not over it looks like it will never release a 5th volume.
Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

@Rahul-Balaggan Well, on bookwalker is vol 4 out 15th January 2016, but no, vol 4 is not the last one. Vol 5 simply didn´t came out yet. (As I say author is working on NGNL, don´t forget that movie is coming next month. Vol 10 NGNL came out at the end of 2016. Also I read somewhere that author is sick or something.)
@Nico Well, this LN is actually pretty good. I really recommend to read it.
-
It is at volume 4 and still ongoing. Pretty sure it wouldn't get an anime and manga adaptation if the author had dropped it. Yuu Kamiya just has too much to do, I guess. No Game No Life hasn't been updated in a year either. Volume 5 will probably be released long before we catch up.
-
@sparhawk6 & @Hakomari
You have my thanks.
-
@Hakomari NGNL Gaiden - Practical war game came out in december last year I think. And manga adaptation is coming as planned. And it is as you and me say, NGNL eat most of the author time, because movie is coming next month.
