A mapping skill would be extremely useful, anyone that has ever played a classic Dungeon Crawler should know this... Rolling Eyes

The unfortunate thing about the first 4 titles there is that they all had old anime. J-Novel Club has in fact tried licensing light novels for series that had old anime, but none of them sell very well. Not sure about other publishers, but if you want JNC to look more into those series, you'll want to convince more people to buy stuff like Outbreak Company, Kokoro Connect, and Rokujouma.

As for Scrapped Princess... Sam does like licensing Sakaki's stuff, so it could just be a matter of time...


That seems like the exact opposite of what should happen when they license something that had an incomplete anime adaption. I mean, I'm going to go for titles I recognize first before anything else.... Confused

Same here. Aesthetica Of A Rogue Hero has been on my want-list for awhile now. Along with Campione, Testament Of Sister New Devil and Akashic Records Of The Bastard Magic Instructor.

I'd also love to see a print version of Sorcerous Stabber Orphen from J-Club too...

Sucks being unemployed because I have put some of my subscriptions (namely Amazon Prime, Netflix, HIDIVE, Hulu, and J-NC) on hold! Still, nice to see "Slayers" get another chance for an official translation.

Premise of Love Yuri and I Got Bodyswapped with a Fujoshi! (Ore ga Fujoshi de Aitsu ga Yuri Ota de) looks funny, but the idea that this manga will treat queerness as a fan service for straight people doesn't stop worried me.

Otherwise, I’m pretty unusual to see something non-political from Ameko-sensei. Her past works looked so defiantly social and conflicting that the choice of a similar trendy genre seems rather sudden.
