      Hmm, that would be my wishes for 2023:

      1). Parallel World Pharmacy (Light Novel)

      2). Parallel World Pharmacy (Manga)

      Only if J-Novel Club licenses the manga, since I want to buy the premium ebooks. I don‘t buy English manga in print format, because they are way to expensive... In this case I unfortunately need to wait and hope for a German release.

      3). Death‘s Daughter and the Ebony Blade (Manga)

      Same as the Parallel World Pharmacy manga.

      4). Fake Cinderella (Light Novel)

      5). Fake Cinderella (Manga)

      alt text

      Same as the Parallel World Pharmacy and Death‘s Daughter and the Ebony Blade manga.

        Somebody please license Bocchi the Rock, thank you.

        Otherwise, these days I always have something to read, although I'll always appreciate a license for Humanity has Declined and OreShura.

        Quof got a break.
        WHAT'S THE STORY WITH THAT FREAKING BLACK DRAGON?!

          @Crimson-Wise Wow no one has made a request thread for Bocchi yet? Damn. You'd think it would be a high-priority license for all the publishers at the moment.

            Fixed.

            I certainly hope so. I don't expect JNC to get it, since it doesn't seem like the kind of things they license. I'd love to be wrong though, the more Kirara, the better.

                  My most hoped for license is Isekai Yururi Kikou (Raising Children While Being an Adventurer). It's unfortunately not terribly realistic due to the fact it's an alpha polis title. I'll still push for it, if there ends up being only a single license from that company that anyone can get that's the one I want.

                  For more realistic options, I'm Not Even an Otome Game Mob Character from To Books looks interesting. It's a short 2 volume series, so maybe it can be brought in as a bonus with something else.

                  Mangawise, I'd love if Nukoduke! could be picked up, the problem is it's both manga, and it's a high volume series from a publisher JNC doesn't currently do business with.

                    I'm still holding out hope that someone will pick up Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta?(And You Thought There is Never a Girl Online?), how vain that hope may be...

                      I think the main thing I'm hopeful for is JNC continuing their streak of romcom licenses that they had this year. Other than that, here are some of the individual series I'd love to see:

                      I Became Friends with the Second Cutest Girl in Class

                      I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

                      I Know That After School, The Saint is More Than Just Noble

                      Frontier Lord Starts Out with a Population of 0

                      The Banished Villainess' Husband

                        I'm gonna jump on the Gamers! bandwagon and throw in my standard request of Eromanga Sensei.

                          I’d like to see any Harunohi titles licensed because they’re just crazy.

                          Otome Game Heroine is my favourite but I’d especially like to see Demon Noble Girl because the fantranslation halted part way into Vol 9 of 12.
