      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"?

                          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.

                              Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

                                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.

                                    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.

                                      spoiler

                                      could fit there.

                                          Or maybe the Horizon series?? Those 1000 page long novels can't be considered "light"

                                            I only know that 86 was on Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi!
                                            Would it fit the other hint?
                                            "A personal story"?
