    @tube said in Ascendance of a Bookworm: "Gaiden" side story book:

    @LurkingMcLurk pointed out that the one released after 4.4 and the one released after 4.8 might have to be treated separately. I hope that JNC will license both but I edited this thread to be about the one released after 4.4.

    I saw an announcement today of what I think (assuming I understood the MTL of the press release correctly) is a third collection of short stories coming out next spring. So that would be released after 5.7 or 5.8, I think? One more to keep track of/distinguish from the others (and to request in due time).

      @b-scot-morgan At least after Royal Academy Stories: The First Year, the names are going to be Short Story Collection 1 and Short Story Collection 2, so it won't be confusing.

        I see no reason not to request it now. 8-) They can translate them in due time, being only human and all. ;-) Still, I don't really see why they need us to clamour for them since I'd think it's completely obvious what we want. But if they need clamouring, here it is! 8-)

        Reading Bookworm, Bibliophile, and Dahlia. Also, Girl Genius, xkcd, Witch Hat, Harpy Gee, and Suitor Armor. Looking for suggestions.

          Has there been any new info on whether the short stories will be translated now that the publishing of Volume 4 part 4 is almost happening?

          I would love to read these!

            Hello,

            Unfortunately, J-Novel Club does not comment publicly on possible licensing acquisitions or negotiations.

            Thank you

            Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

              Come on! Can't you even give USA hint?

              (I'm joking of course)

              I wanted to have a witty signature once I saw some of the ones some guys on the Bookworm forums had but None of the ones I thought felt witty enough...
              The solution: Fuck it, I'll go Commando!

                @rahul-balaggan when (realistically, it's all but confirmed J-novel would try and most likely succeed) J-novel does license these volumes, when is the soonest in that process there would be a public announcement? I assume we would hear something before @Quof got told, “Ok, put those SS collections next in your queue.” Am I wrong?

                    @rahul-balaggan um. Not quite what I meant (I mean yes I would love to know anything more there too). I'm not even talking about Bookworm. I'm legit confused about where and when official (not unofficial) announcements are made. I looked at the news thread, but I don't see a single title license announcement.

                    Is the calendar the official way to find out a new title has been announced or is there a blog post somewhere listing these things somewhere I don't know about?

                    I see in the about us page it mentions licenses being announced on twitter, but is that and the Q&As really the only official source?

                      @solarmist Our previous licensing announcement was in November:

                      Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

                        @myskaros ah. Ok. Thank you.

                        I don't normally read the forums, exception the Bookworm pre-pub discussions, but I am interested in seeing the lists of titles that you have successfully acquired. I will keep an eye on that going forward.

                        I would like to suggest you also make those posts to the J-novel blog, so they are discoverable by search engines.

                        Edit: I just looked and the actual list was on ANN. I would double down on my suggestion in that case. It is very strange to me J-novel club doesn't maintain official blog posts of it's own licensing announcements.
