You know there's a "What are you reading?" thread in General, right?

[mangafreak7793]

We can discuss our favorite LN I guess?

[Cruor]

If that's the case BOOGIEPOP AND WALPURGIS REGRET SHOULD BE PUT OUT MORE THEY ARE GREAT

Oh, and Zashiki Warashi ni Dekirukoto/What a Zashiki Warashi Can Do anime when? And I'll also mention how I'm still amazed how just searching up the author's name on Google gets the whole series.

[Alulim]

Zashiki Warashi ni Dekirukoto is a new one to me...is it translated?


Doubt it, but doesn't hurt to ask.

[Cruor]

No.

[Alulim]

Thought so.

[mangafreak7793]

Read Gekkou, it's a nice story.

Full Metal Panic. Sword Art Online (well, the first arc at least). Gundam Unicorn. Densha Otoko. Fate/Zero.
Good shit.

I kind of used to like Zero no Tsukaima but I got tired of rooting for Saito and the Princess because it's just another one of those fucking stupid harem things where you know the two main characters (usually a tsundere) are going to get together in the end no matter what, and all the other options - including the ones that have actual chemistry - are only there to create pointless tension and fanwank.

This. This so much.

Gundam Unicorn...man do I wish it was translated.


Also Sword Art Online was a good read.

[Sherrinford]

Well, Fate/Zero of course...

The Longing Of Shiina Ryo? At least the in-jokes make you smile... but I guess it doesn't count as a Light Novel, right?



Ah, so many light novels... and not one of them completely translated (if not in translation at all)...

*sighs*

[mewarmo990]

Oh, Kaze no Stigma is pretty cool too, one of my favorite protagonists ever. But the author passed away recently so it'll never finish T_T

[Cruor]

I liked Fullmetal Panic. Pretty awesome shit with the later novels. Really hard military stuff after where the anime left off.

Of course I don't need to mention NisiOisiN. Zaregoto, -monogatari series (Bakemonogatari, Kizumonogatari, Nisemonogatari, etc.), Sekai seies, Zerozaki/Ningen series (the manga of which I think is going to be serialized in Afternoon soon I think), Risuka, Katanagatari, Maniwagatari, etc. Oh yeah, about Nisio hear Scarlet Hero (obviously a Aikawa Jun novel) is gonna come out next year!

Hmm.... I guess Faust will be a good introduction to LN two volumes of it are out in the US. Volume 1 has Drill Hole in my Brain a short story by Otaro Maijo that was so strange Tang couldn't even finish it.

;_;

[Sherrinford]

Same things happened with Trinity Blood, IIRC.

;_; indeed.

Wait, is this the thread for LNs we have read, or that we'd want to read?

Because otherwise I bring out the list... :3

[Numina]

Kaze no Stigma has one of the best protagonists ever.

To bad it never got translated past volume 2...

[eddyak]

Oh yeah, about Nisio hear Scarlet Hero (obviously a Aikawa Jun novel) is gonna come out next year!

Oooh. Hope this gets picked up by someone. Should be fun.

I laughed my way through it.

It was an uncomfortable kind of laugh, though. The sort you make when the unwashed hobo with the suspiciously bulging overcoat on the train who's talking to his invisible friend makes a joke, and you laugh along, all the while hoping the hand in his trousers is grabbing neither his crotch nor a knife.

So did the author of MM.
