Seven Seas - April 2020 survey available!

Terrence

Ended up going with:

Manga:

Gal Gohan
The Legendary Mother

Light 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"

If 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.

Happy

@terrence

Gal Gohan

that one is so enjoyable, love it

Shhotaku

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..

Terrence

Seven Seas is hiring LN translators for a fantasy series.

Terabyte

Maybe Skeleton Knight? 🤔

Rahul Balaggan

@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.

Terabyte

@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.

Terrence

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. =/

TheRedJet

@terrence i would appreciate light novel for Ghost Ship imprint :D

Terrence

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).

Terrence

It was Restaurant to Another World that got announced. Definitely a nice surprise. =)

MenyKanzaki

@terrence They said they are preparing a very special survey for November/December that is why they are taking so much time

Terrence

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

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.

DoubleMangekyo

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.

Seven Seas has licensed what looks to be a manga adaptation of the first novel.

I will not give up hope! One day, some company will (hopefully) translate the two sequel novels.

My votes are in.

Manga:
Cheerful Amnesia

That "Fall in Love all Over Again" hint from J-Novel; seems like this could be a fit maybe?

Ah well, if it is, I'll cheerfully throw away that vote I made this month.
