I'm so excited about getting more light novels aimed at girls in English! I'll definitely be buying all of the titles currently announced for the Heart label. Isekai Rebuilding Project and Her Majesty's Swarm also sound kind of interesting, but I'll wait until I've heard a bit more about them.

I agree. Those interest me as well, along with Sexiled getting a print release

As a woman that loves reading Japanese novels but can't find anything other than Harems here and there, this news, and the sheer amount of the titles, is mind blowing to me.
I'm glad we're getting attention Very Happy

This raises my hopes a little that maybe one day we'll get Sugar Apple Fairytale. I'll be checking out some of the titles under the Heart label, even if none of them sound like a must-read for me.

Sugar apple would be awesome. For now I'll be reading Tearmoon and least interesting swordsman. Swarm also looks interesting.

Can’t wait to grab Tearmoon, I refuse to be your enemy, and White cat, hopefully they’re released on iBooks before too long.

Oh I'm really happy to see JNC picking up many otome series. I hope it'll sell well and they'll pick more.

Ohh, Marielle Clarac! Nice!

Hitchikers Guide to Isekai sounds good too.

J-NC is competing with Yen Press in terms of who is the Funimation/Crunchyroll of light novel licenses. That is, constantly licensing like a factory. So, as long as there is sufficient QC and their translators are not biting off more than they can chew, I don't see a problem with that. A form of possible QC is when a forum member might say something like "You misspelled that word or that sentence should be written this way" in the series discussion threads.

Her Majesty's Swarm has an interesting description and I think that the author might be a fan of Starcraft. As for the news that My Next Life as a Villainess would get a print edition that is a little surprising since when I checked recently there was no indication they were translating the 5th volume and it has been several months since the 4th volume was released.
