Seven Seas - April 2020 survey available!
-
Light Novels:
-
Kimi to Boku no Saigo no Senjou, Aruiwa Sekai ga Hajimaru Seisen
This one has 2 enemies waging a war for their land and falling in love with eachother - personal favorite. -
Akashic Records of the Bastard Magical Instructor
Well this one should be known enough
Manga:
-
Itou-kun wa Koi wo Shiranai
A very fluffy read IMO, a ghost comes to live in modern day Japan in the hopes of understanding emotiones, people - gets a girlfriend pretty soon and its about them, very enjoyable. -
Ojousama no Shimobe
A little bit of a ecchi manga - about a guy whose father is a butler and mother a maid - at some poin they both send him the Ojou-sama of their respective households and he needs to take care of both of them.

I think I'll rec that new novel by the Welcome To The NHK author, "Light-Novel" (cheeky title). Haven't read much about it of course, just the author pedigree and that it releases in November. Yoshitoshi Abe (Serial Experiments Lain) did the cover.

Ended up going with:
Manga:
Gal Gohan
The Legendary MotherLight Novel:
The Magical Power of the Saint is All Around
Debating this final one. Thinking of going with "Twin Knights in the City of Love"
https://bookwalker.jp/de79d17639-420e-478f-b1a4-769c82425579/?acode=WpfPW3ykIf I want to be boring, I'll go with Sakurako-san again.
Light-Novel I'll save for when it is actually out I think.

I've voted for Gal Gohan a few times. I'm glad other people are as well! They probably wouldn't even need to put it in Ghost Ship since it's only slightly ecchi. Not on Yuuna & Hot Springs level.
Oh volume 5 just came out.. maybe I'll just get the Japanese print versions when I have the money..

Seven Seas is hiring LN translators for a fantasy series.
-
Maybe Skeleton Knight? 🤔
-
@terabyte If they are looking for a translator for a series that they already officially announced then we are all doomed.
We will be skeleton knights by the time V1 comes out.
Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

@rahul-balaggan Well, SK V1 is scheduled for June 2019 if I recall right, so there's plenty of time. Always possible that their current translator had to drop the project because of issues. Or it might just be another series completely that they have yet to announce.
-
Seven Seas will be announcing a new light novel license Friday (if certain requirements are met on their Facebook social media page).
As an aside, the October Survey is still showing as up. =/
-
@terrence i would appreciate light novel for Ghost Ship imprint :D
-
Wouldn't mind that...
Though someone bumped the Bunny Gal topic and now I'm hoping it's that. Either way though, we'd still be waiting into mid 2019 for it probably... Better to strike while the anime is hot if they can (I suppose they could release early digitally, like with Abilities Average).
-
It was Restaurant to Another World that got announced. Definitely a nice surprise. =)
-
@terrence They said they are preparing a very special survey for November/December that is why they are taking so much time
-
New survey up. You can submit 18 licenses. They're broken down into category apparently. Going to give it a look.
My votes are in.. I'll put them below in text form if I can. No Yaoi votes since I don't know any (I should've voted for that "My Best Friend Has a Harem in a Fantasy World").
Manga:
Abyss
How to train your Devil
Cheerful Amnesia
This Art Club Has a Problem
Legend of Mother
Survival Game Club
Slayers (?)Light Novel:
ZoaHunter
Sakurako-san (Beautiful Bones)
Legend of Arslan
Sōkyū no Karuma (Date a Live author)
Remake Our Life! (Time-Travel back to college novel)
Gothic Lolita Ping-Pong
Attacking the Dungeon With My Beautiful Boss is OT Work?
Light-Novel (Tatsuhiko Takimoto's new work)...and a few others I'm already forgetting. xC
Edit: They say it's generally best to format these with Romajii titles. So, if you're submitting, maybe do that.
-
Nice that we're able to submit more stuff.
Here's my picks.
Yuri manga - Yuzumori-san (I hope shoujo-ai counts...)
Yuri LN – none, cause I don't read any
Yaoi manga – none, cause I don't read any
Yaoi LN – none, cause I don't read any
Fantasy or isekai manga – Neko Kissa
Fantasy or isekai LN – Maoyuu Maou Yuusha
Comedy, drama, or slice of life manga – Mangaka-san to Assistant-san to
Comedy, drama, or slice of life LN – Ore, Twintail ni Narimasu.
Action, horror, or supernatural manga – Nejimaki Kagyuu
Action, horror, or supernatural LN – Shakugan no Shana
Ecchi or fanservice manga – more Strike Witches (you may laugh at my foolishness)
Ecchi or fanservice LN – Lord Marksman and Vanadis
Classic manga – none
Classic LN – Boogiepop (the rest of it that is)
Manga of any genre - Imouto wa Shishunki (by the author of Seitokai Yakuindomo)
LN of any genre - Suisei no Gargantia -Haruka, Kaikou no Tenchi- (I wanna know how the story ends!!!!)
Reprint - Boogiepop Dual (in omnibus format) -
@doublemangekyo said in Seven Seas - October 2018 survey available!:
Classic manga – none
I made something up for Classic manga. I think Slayers (does that have a manga, and is it already releasing stateside?). I was trying to remember Orphen's name, but drew a blank, and didn't feel like searching (and again, no clue if that has released stateside).
Oh god, I should have voted for those Gargantia stories. I've voted for them before though, so hopefully that makes two votes if they're keeping track of old votes too.
