It seems Kadokawa has launch a new novel division, called "Novel 0" with target audience for male readers.
And looks like there are many promising authors in the lineup.

Are we getting closer to the new age of light novel ?
I can't read this.

Patiently wait for translator fag.
But it seems Satou Keiichi (The Big O) also contributing a new title.
>age of light novel
I hope not.
But that's not a cute little girl.

I don't get it, light novels weren't targeted to male readers to begin with? How is this supposed to be anything new?
>>134746240
Another factory of chuuni garbage aimed at pretentious otaku, just what japan needed...
>>134746240
Instant Magi, that sounds pretty cool.
>>134746240
As long as this means less light novels with ridiculously long titles I'm fine with it.
Light novels are written by deviant art tier would be manga writers who can't draw.

Why is Kadokawa spending all this money recently? You know they opened a vidya game studio a few years ago too.
>>134747512
They also own like 20 different fucking manga publishers. Kodansha owns the other 20.

Kadokawa is one of the few Japanese companies who still believes in branching out and investing in markets it isn't already in.

>I was like meh

I have a good feeling about this.
Yeah this would be great if I weren't basically blind. Audio LNs when?

They have like 5

Fuck yeah Kodakawa Pharmaceuticals!
>>134747664
Ara ara

This includes male readers who are into boys, as well as the usual male readers who likes girls.
>>134746240
Is this really big news?
Kadokawa already bought out like 95% of LN publishers.
>>134748303
50%, the other half belongs to Kodansha
>>134748613
>Kodansha
>Light novel
Choose one
>>134747772
But existing LNs practically pioneered the trap genre.
>>134746240
What's this
>>134746240
I have mixed feelings about Kadokawa.
Sure they published several good novels but the majority are trash (even though they are still a bit better than other publisher's novels), and they push these trash novels just as hard (if not harder) than the good ones.
>>134746240
I hope not
