      volume 1
      Alt titles: かのこん
      Author: Katsumi Nishino
      Artist: Koin
      Publisher: Kadokawa (formerly Media Factory)
      Volumes: 15 (completed)

      Synopsis (taken from Seven Seas):
      Innocent country boy Oyamada Kouta is about to lose his innocence forever. After transferring to a big city high school in his freshman year, Kouta quickly becomes embroiled in a world of crazy. First, a beautiful second-year student named Chizuru hands him a love letter. Kouta can hardly believe his luck, but when he meets up with her after class, he gets an even bigger surprise: the busty babe not only has the perfect body–but a set of fox ears and a tail!

      It turns out that Chizuru is a fox yokai and she has set her sights on Kouta. Soon, Kouta is spending day and night fending off the frisky fox spirit’s advances. Even worse, he soon learns that his new school hides a shocking secret: it is full of yokai who pose as human students, each with their own agenda! In a dog-eat-dog world, Chizuru’s foxy love for Kouta may be his only hope.

      Comments: So on the light novel reddit, someone did a post going "hey, what LN would you really like someone to license?" and several series were brought up, Kanokon included. At first I didn't think anything of it until I looked it up and it turns out it was actually close to being licensed? Seven Seas picked up the LN and the manga, and while they completely released the latter they never actually released the former (even though it had an English cover planned and everything).

      Anyway, it's probably a long shot because the LN ended like ten years ago, and I'm aware how Earl & Fairy sold in similar conditions, but might as well put it up anyway.

          I wasn’t able to Google them before I posted it, but the fact that the artist of Bofuri also drew Nyaruko-San was a sucker punch to the face.

            I read the manga and liked it. I'm curious to see how the LN is different so it would be nice to see it licensed.
