Acquisitions Speculation - General
-
Never knew IS is under Overlap now. I sorta lost interest after the author had that fight with MF and saw no new volume come out till 2 years later. Nice to know I can eventually read the continuation.
Also sorta wish Skeleton Knight in Another World was the one instead of Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha. I liked the WN translation and since the WN stopped getting LN officially translated would be nice. Still gonna read it though since I am interested.
-
@vinnces I love that one too. Maybe you are better at convincing Sam than me :D
-
Surprised IS wasn't licensed in its hayday. Takes me back though.
Laura best Girl. Fight me.
-
@thoraxe41 You misspelled Charlotte.
-
@tremorc seconded, it still baffles me everyone keeps misspelling her name. #CharlotteBestGirl #TeamCharlotte
-
Indeed, Charlotte is the best choice.
-
I also agree.
-
@paulnamida agreee...
-
@sam-pinansky the novel "The Unwanted Undead Adventurer" on the announcement page is missing the link to its title page (unlike the genius novel). Also "Infinite Stratos" is not listed on the page yet either, or was that LN outside of the 5 hints given there?

https://j-novel.club/forum-link-removed ?Hmm, ongoing series with only 2 volumes and both came out in 2013. I sure hope it's not that one :(

I was honestly wondering if the novel was Sound Euphonium. That's a novel series, and allegedly about the author's experiences, so it might fit. 'cept I found out it was being translated by Yen Press. (Though they haven't done a second novel in almost a year. :( )

I'm so sad about that one. I don't know if I should be a punk and annoy their social media manager / email exchange about getting more novels, or just accept it.
I really found the characters interesting in that they weren't all 100% likable, even Kumiko having major faults in terms of her actions and her desire to succeed vs not practicing as hard + having fun. T.T
-
I liked it a lot too. I admit though, I started liking it MORE when the fans of the anime started screaming because the book was different, and it 'ruined their ships'.
-
@terabyte
I just mentioned it 'cause the name kinda fits...
It will be weird to pick up smth like this but it's just a shot in the dark anyways. -
@terrence
They only licensed one book anyways.
It's like with Vertical licensing only Kizumonogatari before licensing Bakemonogatari later on.
I wonder if the delay in licensing is from Japanese side or the 1st novel just didn't sell enough to warrant licensing of the next novels... -
@terabyte
It ended, according to MAL tho

Speaking of Kizu, Vertical only licensed that part of the Monogatari series for audio book form (along with 3 Galactic Heroes novels), and when they apparently didn't sell they didn't license more for Audible. Shame too. It'd be great to have some English audiobook light novels.
I do hope that Yen licenses the next Sound Eupho, but I'll remain pessimistic until it happens (it has been almost a year; dunno when the point of no return would be; two years?).
-
@terrence
It was a year difference between Kizumonogatari and Bakemonogatari so, dunno
(I am also worried that Vertical won't get the rest of Zaregoto, they never announced that they will publish the next books) -

https://myanimelist.net/manga/61939/Lonely_Myself_SagaOh, good to know in case it ends up being that one. I don't like unfinished stuff, even if rushed I prefer some kind of (open) ending.
