@doublemangekyo
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.

@terrence
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. -

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.

And that's exactly what I meant~✧

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
-
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.

This post is deleted! -
The Magic in this Other World is Too Far Behind! is for Better Late Than Never
-
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!
-
If he hired the fan translator in the first place and has enough trust in that "published" version, then I suppose that cuts out the translation step entirely. Otherwise it would depend on how familiar with the fan translation the editor is already, since if you have a translation checker go over the fan script first, that's going to take about as much time as a translator translating from scratch.
-
If we're talking about quality translations with a volume already fan-translated, maybe Sam has finally broken through the Kadokawa barrier and grabbed 86.

Not a Light Novel
When was that hint mentioned?

It was the first hint, they gave 2 hints per title, apart from the fifth one.
-
To go with "Not a Light Novel", maybe it isn't a novel-novel, but not a light novel. In other words, a heavy, emotional novel.
could fit there.
