Seven Seas - April 2020 survey available!
-
Boogiepop novels are getting reprinted physically as Omnibus editions, the second of which will include two unpublished volumes (5 and 6).
Wonder if they'll be on Nook by the time the second Omnibus releases... I doubt it. I so wish they released on Google Books. T.T
-
@terrence They are coming out in physical? do you know when they will come out and where did you get this info?
-
-
I think I will suggest Mob Psycho 100 next time. Mob Psycho 100 is just a great series that I need it in an English Physical release and I know it is has a physical release.
-
April Survey is up. =]
I'm in a Yuri mood a bit, so maybe I'll look for some (having trouble finding light novel Yuri though). I forget if I requested the Legendary Hero Dies manga, or saw it after the last survey. I'll check what I asked for last month, then update from there.
@terrence said in Seven Seas March survey available!:
"Yuusha ga Shinda"
https://myanimelist.net/manga/85941/Yuusha_ga_Shinda__Murabito_no_Ore_ga_Hotta_Otoshiana_ni_Yuusha_ga_Ochita_Kekka"I Live With My Brother's Wife".
Looks like I didn't request that or the "I Live With My Brother's Wife" one. Time to request them!
The Legendary Hero one is available in English, but from Singapore, and the import costs are ridiculous. I dunno what the legalities are in terms of licensing it for another English speaking territory, but I'll ask for it.
I think I want to request Good Luck Girl! too. Hmm, decisions decisions...

Suggested Yuru Yuri manga and Otonari Complex~For light novels:
Omae o Otaku ni Shiteyaru kara, Ore o Riajuu ni Shitekure!
Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko -

This one looks cute~
But ain't Yen press exclusive distributor for Square Enix? -

But ain't Yen press exclusive distributor for Square Enix?IDK, I just suggest based on what I want, not necessarily whether it can happen.
But, like, isn't Seven Seas publishing a Final Fantasy novel? That maybe a bit different than Square's manga property like this, but it just comes to mind that at least Square game properties end up with other companies.
Edit: I just found one that Yen Press may not have gotten from the same label (Young Gangen). Arakawa Under the Bridge went to Crunchyroll and Vertical.

My Requests this month:
- Arifureta Nichijou de Sekai Saikyou (Manga) - Volume 1 is finally set to come out in Japan April 25th. And I want an English copy. Especially since it isn't getting fan-scanlated.
- Gate: Where the JSDF Fought (Manga) - It's not looking good that Sekai Project will release anything beyond volume 2 considering all the trouble they had just doing that.
- Mushoku Tensei (LN) - Of course I want this. I'd love to read the actual LN series as it's something I consider a masterpiece.
- Gamer! (LN) - Always gotta request either this or Seitokai no Ichizon. Sekina Aoii has a real talent for twisting tropes in his series.

Do you think they're tracking our IP addresses / Emails to get rid of duplicate requests? Or would that be too much work?
I can't remember if I suggested White Album 2 in the past, but I'm going to suggest it again this month I think. Westerners need some legal means to read that full series in English, even if it's just the novelization.
-
@terrence It's google docs so I doubt it tracks IP addresses. Especially considering you'll end up filtering out multiple stuff from the same apartment block or other similar set-ups where a lot of people would be on the same IP address.

I sure hope not. I want The Comic Artist and His Assistants in print and I want it bad.
Don't see Yen picking that one up... -
In terms of manga and light novels, I simply requested:
"Tsugumomo" It's perfect to be under the Ghost Ship label :3
"Komi-san wa Komyushou Desu." Another manga series that I want to see licensed. Seeing how Seven Seas can pick up
"Mushoku Tensei" Seeing how Aruseus keeps requesting it in the survey, I figured I might as well do so too XD
"Is It Tough Being A Friend?" One of the romcom LN series that I want to see get picked up so badly.
"Butsuriteki ni Koritsu shiteiru Ore no Koukou Seikatsu" Also a romcom LN series, I do like the artstyle of it.
-
"Tsugumomo" is pretty much perfect for Seven Seas since they do license a lot of ecchi/borderline H, and now that there's a Ghost Ship label, it perfectly fits into that category
-
Manga:
Mob Psycho 100
Murenase! Shiiton Gakuen (some random manga I found recently)Light Novel:
Assassins Pride
Only Sense Online -
Switched my picks around slightly this month.
- Manga
- Darwin's Game
- Iris Zero
- LN
- Tensei Shitara Ken deshita
- Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu
- Manga
-
For the light novels, I went with old requests. The manga, I went with one that I think hasn't been licensed despite having an anime, and then one that is more recent.
I Live With My Brother's Wife.
Attacking the Dungeon With My Beautiful Boss is Overtime Work? (LN)
Good Luck Girl!
White Album 2. (LN)

Good Luck Girl!
I would looooooove to get this in English, unfortunately I believe it's firmly in VIZ's territory seeing that it was a Jump title and everything else in that magazine being published in English was picked up by VIZ. Granted, Seven Seas getting TLR and Yuuna-san means it's not completely off the table, but I would imagine that, since VIZ is already putting out Twin Star Exorcists by the same author, it might simply be off-limits.

@myskaros hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
This does actually relate to a random comment I said in the past on twitter, is Viz media still interested in new manga.
The seem to be focusing less and less on manga and more on American comics, games, and anime over the last year or so.
And ever since that happened 7S has been picking up the slack, I can only imagine that internally they are shifting and that allowed 7S to make some deals because the parent companies know that Viz is shifting business strategies
Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

@rahul-balaggan VIZ did pick up Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai, Maou-jou de Oyasumi, Kimetsu no Yaiba, and Kanata no Astra, all releasing this year, so I would say I do not agree with that speculation. I can't speak to whether the amount of pick-up titles is fewer than they were before, though, but they've never been in the ecchi side of manga, so 7S getting those isn't as surprising as it would be if they get Binbougami-ga, which is more of a mainstream action/comedy similar to Gintama or JoJo.
