        It's like with Vertical and licensing only Kizumonogatari before licensing Bakemonogatari later on.

        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?).

          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)

            Oh, 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.

              @bloodygaikotsu Vertical announced their release for Kubishime Romanticist six months after publishing Kubikiri Cycle. They're taking their sweet time, sure, but I don't see any reason to think they won't release the rest.
              What I wanna know is: will they get the Ningen Series as well?!

                I just didn't hear much of Vertical lately, so it seems worrisome.
                Ningen started after volume 6, so I doubt we will know anytime soon
                (Personally, I'd love to see everything by NisiOisiN including the stuff that doesn't look like LNs as Ningyou ga Ningyou (Horror novel), Densetsu series and Nanmin Tantei)

                  I wonder if we'll get the sequel to Zodiac War? First Zodiac War was kind of a weirdly presented death game type story. I think the next one brings in more competitors (maybe more victors / survivors too? I can hope).

                  I'm hoping for Imperfect Girl novel. Dunno if I should suck it up and read the manga instead.

                    I saw the cover and I just don't understand it.
                    All the 12 warriors we know + 12 criminals with western Zodiac signs.
                    (I wonder why VIZ didn't include the manga chapter in the book)

                    I also don't wanna pick up Imperfect Girl manga.
                    I kinda don't like LN-based manga.

                      Imperfect Girl is not a manga. The Manga is the adaption, not the other way around.

                      Edit: Just after posting I realized you probably meant you do not want to read the Manga and that you don't like Manga adaptions of LN.

                          Updated.

                          Can someone tell me which titles are from Shogakukan? Or has that title not been announced yet. It's been a while.

                            @fezu so far nothing announced from Shogakukan

                            Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

                              According to this reply by Sam, the last 2 unannounced series are basically done being translated for volume 1! Though I bet they’re still gonna only post the first 4 parts at once and then do the next 4 parts weekly.

                                I am still holding out hope the first Shogakukan title is Sasami-san@ganbaranai. But hey, what do you guys think it's going to be?

                                @legitpancake Interesting, I am surprised about this. They must be rather huge titles then.

                                      So we have one book left that is "Not a Light Novel" and "A Personal Story"?

                                        Updated. I guess its' going to be an interesting novel.

                                          wait if Sam said the last two announces were basically done for vol 1 translations then are we going to get a 3rd fan-translated series? If so then this could narrow down the possibilities. just narrow down to credible or good fan-translations and then there would not be that much left, all it would take is the hint and we could have a reasonable guess.

                                            @drone205 that is indeed a possibility!
