[Intention]

To help out with the addition of the English Light Novel Section, mind posting all the English light novels you know of and where you can find them? I'll start off; the format should stay the same for all.

I purchased all of these novels at Borders so if you have one near you, you may also be able to pick them up locally.

Thanks Intention, I have been delaying the addition of the english light novel section for some time, but with your help I think I'll start working on this (probably this weekend), so please continue adding more english light novels, that would be a great help

If possible, also add amazon links to these light novels, because not everyone have access to Borders.

[Intention]

Sure no problem. I'll get to the amazon links asap as well. I only listed Borders because I went out and bought all those books earlier this week from there (the gift of 40% off coupons) and glad to be of help.

[NeoSam]

I'm pretty busy, but this is one of the projects planned for the lightnovel.org site.

This will be the official thread to list all english licensed light novels, so they'll be added to the lightnovel.org's listing.

What I'm thinking for now is having everything organised in a certain way:

Light Novel's title
Cover (the light novel's cover)
Publisher
Publisher's link to the light novel (if there's one)
Amazon link

[Matt122004]

There are probably other licensed titles, they'll be added with time... hmm... did Viz Media only license one light novel series?

[Matt122004]

I believe Girls Life and Girls Revolution are cancled. The publisher in japan I understand went bankrupt, so their are no plans to release the two series now.

-Matt

[NeoSam]

Thanks added to the release schedule.

Ahh I added up to December 2008, are the March 2009's releases already mentioned by the publishers? because I can't find them mentioned on their sites >.<

[Matt122004]

the twelve kingdoms is released yearly, always in march

zero no tsukaima is every 3 months

shinigami is every 4 months


so yes, the dates are correct.

[Matt122004]

you have an error, when on the home page, when you click releases, it takes you to the japanese releases.

Also, all tokyopop light novels are "$7.95", same with twelve kingdoms. So please fix these price errors. This goes for Seven Sea's too.

-Matt

Ahh, I see, then I added them

you have an error, when on the home page, when you click releases, it takes you to the japanese releases.

That should have been fixed, try refreshing the page and see, it should take you to a page where you can choose to where you want to go (japanese releases or english releases).

Also, all tokyopop light novels are "$7.95", same with twelve kingdoms. So please fix these price errors. This goes for Seven Sea's too.

-Matt

Hmm Seven Seas Entertainment has one light novel series with the $9.95 price:
http://www.gomanga.com/manga/index.php

According to Tokyopop, Full Metal Panic! vol. 3 is $9.99:
http://www.tokyopop.com/product/1866/FullMetalPanicnovel/3.html

and the The Twelve Kingdoms vol. 2 is 16.99:
http://www.tokyopop.com/product/1787/TwelveKingdoms/2

[Matt122004]

the twelve kingdoms book 2 that is for $16 is the HARDCOVER edition, the paper back edition is 7.99

I own the first two FMP books, and on the back it clearly states 7.99 for each book, and 9.99 for candada. I'd probably trust the books.

Wicked City IS 9.99, excuse me, I didn't see. lol

I see, then corrected The Twelve Kingdoms vol.2 and vol.3 to 7.99, and the FMP! vol.3 to 7.99.
