Novel Summary (From Amagi Brilliant Park Wiki Page):
Seiya Kanie is a good looking, perfectionist boy who is forced by the mysterious Isuzu Sento to visit an amusement park named Amagi Brilliant Park, which is in serious financial trouble and about to be closed forever. The park is actually staffed by refugees from a magical realm called Maple Land, and the park is a facility for harvesting magical energy from visitors while they’re having fun. As such, the park is the only way the refugees can maintain their existence in the human realm.
To save the park from closing, Seiya is hired by the owner, Latifa Fleuranza, to use his skills in entertainment to become its new manager. However, to not lose the land to a real estate agency, they have only three months left to attract 250,000 visitors, a feat that seems impossible given the park’s current situation.

Novel Summary (From Type-Moon Wiki): The setting of Fate/Apocrypha is a parallel world to Fate/stay night where the Greater Grail was removed from Fuyuki after the Third Holy Grail War and disappeared for many years.

The Association dispatches fifty magi to retrieve it, but all but one are instantly slaughtered by Lancer of Black. The one remaining manages to activate the reserve system of the Greater Grail, allowing for the summoning of fourteen Servants in total.
This marks the start of the Great Holy Grail War in Trifas, featuring two different factions: the Black Faction, whose members are part of Yggdramillennia, and the Red Faction, whose members were sent by the Mage’s Association with the exception of one from the Church.

Sick of being so perverted, he tries to shake free of it by going to a special part of town. On top of a hill, away from the town and at the foot of a large tree, there is a wooden sculpture of a beckoning cat that is said to have special powers. Instead of bringing a wish to the user like a typical beckoning cat, it takes something from the user, and, in Yokodera’s case, his perversion.

Summary:
The Western VRMMO 『Demondal』was known for its extraordinarily harsh game system. To start, there were no levels. There were no skills. There were no guilds. There was no inventory. There were no convenient messaging or map functions of any kind. It was so unnecessarily realistic that it was basically a VR life simulator. The only game-like elements were proficiencies gained from wielding weapons and enhancing one’s physical strength. Since it was a fantasy game, magic did exist, although making a contract with a spirit was exceedingly difficult; only one percent of the player population were magicians. One day, the protagonist Kei, known for his mastery of horseback archery in the realistically medieval virtual world of 『Demondal』, and his Russian friend were transported to a parallel world. The originally severe game had just become more severe.

The youngest princess of the Shimur tribe, Mine. Still thirteen, innocent and demure – except not at all. She is actually a spoiled brat of a royal, who throws a tantrum every time something doesn’t go her way. Nickname “Wildcat”. For some reason really likes Seirin and runs him ragged daily.
Then, just when poor abused Seirin finally gets used to his new job, supposedly peaceful Shimur tribes declare war on the Empire. Now he’s forced to choose between two sides of the conflict. Can this become the first step on his road to greatness?

Summary:
Zero Kara Hajimeru Mahou no Sho – Grand Prize winner of the 20th annual Dengeki Novel Taishō
It was the year 526.
The world knew that witches existed, and that they practiced the notorious art of sorcery.
Nevertheless, the world did not know anything about the study of magic.
Our story follows a half-man, half-beast mercenary; humans mockingly call his kind the “fallen beasts”.
He always dreamt of becoming a human, but one day, he met a witch who would change his life forever.
“Do you desire a human form? Then be my escort, mercenary!”
The witch introduced herself as “Zero”, and explained that she was searching for a one-of-a-kind magical tome that bandits had stolen from her lair. Entitled “The Book of Zero”, the book supposedly contained valuable magical knowledge that could be used to effortlessly bring the world to its knees.
Thus, in order to realize his dream of becoming a human, the mercenary must accompany Zero on her journey—despite her being one of the witches he so loathed.
This is the story of a haughty sorceress and a kindhearted beast.
NanoDesu Light Novel Translations 
It’s great to see someone translating Oreimo. I read volume 1 a while back, and have wanted to read the rest. I really appreciate this, so thanks a bunch.
could someone update hyakka ryouran samurai girls please
We appreciate the suggestion, but our translators are too busy with their own projects to take up requests.
Thanks for starting with Korezon.
Thank you very much for translating Zombie desuka..It is hard (impoosible?) to even find a decent summary of the novel… I have been a big fan since season 1 and fell into despair as there is little to no background available in English. I’m very glad to see someone picking up the LN… I think this is a great project! Greetings
Thanks for the translations of Kore wa zombie guys, I was thinking of picking it up myself one day but I found you guys translating it, so I’ll focus more on other projects ^^
Thanks a lot for translating korean zombie desk car, since Baka-Tsuki would appear not to be getting anywhere with it.
lol lol lol , kore wa zombie desuka became korean zombie desk car… 😀
Korean Zombie Desk Car… That sounds like a fun idea for a story!! XD
Thanks for translating!!
Can you make a jump and translate the 11th oreimo novel? I bet lots of people would appreciata it! 🙂
Unfortunately, since I’m reading the novels as I translate, that wouldn’t be possible.
just thought i would say “Thanks, keep up the good work”
ok, i go now
i hope this site can grow up as big as baka-tsuki
Oh God I hope not. I am way too disorganized and busy to manage that many people.
Can you translate Chūnibyō Demo Koi ga Shita!!! Please…
I think someone’s already translated that…
where? I’ve been searching for it too!
I can’t remember, but it should be pretty easy to google.
Here’s volume 1 http://ultimatemegax.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/chuunibyou-demo-koi-ga-shitai-novel-1.pdf and here’s volume 2 http://ultimatemegax.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/chuunibyou-demo-koi-ga-shitai-v-2.pdf just copy and paste.
What about volume 3 of Chuunibyou ?
No plans at present.
Oddly enough, it seems both of them have been taken down? For some reason, I’d only downloaded the first novel, which is a shame as I’ve heard the second was written much better.
do you guys translate action novels
For example…?
does anyone know if theres a translated version of tokage no ou or Misumaruka Koukoku Monogatari
As far as I know, there aren’t.
CE Light Novel Translation is translating Misumaruka Koukoku Monogatari
Can you please translate “Dakara boku wa h ga dekinai”. Many would pe please and happy if you could translate it cause baka-tsuki drop the project. Thanks in advance
Thanks for your recommendation, but we are short-staffed as it is, so we cannot pick up any additional projects.
Halz, Zero (who is currently working on Highschool DxD) was planning to do it until he displayed his issues with the illustrator. I would personally love for Dakara to be translated because the anime was complete thrash while the light novel is definitely quite amazing
hey….. anyone knows where can i find high school dxd light novel volume 14 translated?
http://shincodezeroblog.wordpress.com/
I know u just said u’re short on staff in the previous comment but u can keep ‘Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo?’ in mind after u think of picking up anymore projects. The anime which is currently airing is really enjoyable but the problem is it’s really short…so I really want to read the LNs for it.
If u haven’t watched it yet I recommend u to 🙂
Are u really stopping zombie desu ka? Do u plan on completing it later after, say in a couple of months?
Not at the moment, unless something else happens. We are recruiting for a translator to pick it up from Volume 3 though.
Hello, I would like to know if you could translate Mondaijitachi ga Isekai kara Kuru sou desu yo?(?)
Unfortunately, because the translation process is so labor-intensive, we don’t take requests.
Any chance you could translate 9S?
Seeing how full all our translators are right now with their current projects and real life, the chance is probably slim.
For current and future projects, would you consider making the translations available in epub or mobi format as well as the current pdf? It would be highly appreciated and most likely increase the audience, too.
I’ve already mentioned this to our typesetter, and he said he will see what he can do.
Where do you stand on translationg Seitokai no Ichizon(the first series)? Is it something you plan to get to later or is something you’ve already crossed off? I just got done with the anime and was a bit disappointed to find there’s only a couple chapters of the whole series translated.
It’s an idea that’s been thrown around… it depends heavily on finding an able-bodied translator.
Just want to say all of us appreciate what you’re doing. I also love this new blog set up and it’s just really easy to navigate and understand.
Love the page, love the translations. Well done Nano and awesome job to everyone on the staff 0.0d
hi
i would be grateful if you would find the time to answer my question. It was few months since you wrote that your recruiting a translator for Korewa Zombie. Are you still trying to do it or maybe you dropped the project?
thanks for the reply
Hi,
We have a new translator working on volume 3, and I am currently working hard to finish volume 2 in a timely fashion.
Hi,
first i gotta say thx for all the awesome translations, and i wana ask is there any plans (or hope) of Haiyore! Nyaruko-san being translated cuz no 1 is on it
No plans right now. If a translator applies for it then sure, but all of our current translators are tied up. What do you mean by no 1?
Sorry if iwasnt clear , but i meant no 1 is working on it in any other site right now.
just wanted to ask on where can I find a translation of “strike the blood”.
Baka-tsuki seems to have one chapter translated but that is it.
Hi, I just want to let you know that we are really thankful for all the effort you guys put to make this translations possible. Anyways, I sent you guys a suggestion on the “contact us” form, I hope that is the right form to suggest series. ¡Chao!
where can i find kanokon translation project?
awesome translation of oregairu and other LNs. btw, is it very long before you release the rest of chapters of volume 1?
The translator is currently in exam period, but will be back soon.
can you guys please translate the ojamajo doremi 16 light novels? i’d be so grateful if you do
Why is there an oreimo translation? That series is fully translated on baka-tsuki…
Quality issues with the pre-existing translation.

http://oreimothetranslation.wordpress.com/extras/learning-japanese-with-oreimo/quick-guide-for-self-study/
can you help me find black bullet translation? pleaseeee….
I believe there’s one on baka-tsuki.
NO GAME NO LIFE is already being done on baka-tsuki they haw yust started volume 4 so help them insted of doing it from the begining.
You are missing the point. I direct you to the translator’s commentary on this matter here: http://ngnlthetranslation.wordpress.com/2014/05/04/volume-1-chapter-3-complete/
how can i download pdf from here… thank you for your hard work
All available PDFs and ePubs can be accessed from their individual project blogs.
Do you have plans to make a translation of Jinrui wa suitai shimashita?
Alas, I’d love to but there’s just no time…
Hey there Nanodesu! I’ve downloaded the epub version of Sugar Dark and when I start to read, the illustration on volume 1 took much space that I can’t read the full sentence written on the illustration. Also in the illustration of legs, I only see the legs and nothing more. So I wonder if this will likely to happen or maybe it’s just my Adobe Digital Editions? I’m using the 3.0 version.
Thanks.
I’ve forwarded this to the appropriate people and we’ll get back to you. Thanks.
This is what it looks like on our side: http://imgur.com/a/dutHC. We don’t really see a problem…
Dammit… I was excited to see somebody translate Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon then I noticed it was in the Inactive project… damn… Baka Tsuki is doing a poor job on that one…
Hi, just wondering where do you get the raws for no game no life?
I’ve recently started picking up japanese after mastering chinese. If I do a decent job, I was wondering if this site is recruiting newbie translators? 🙂
Hey there. I think we just used normal search engines…
Yes, we accept all translators as long as they pass our translator’s diagnostic.
Hi NanoDesu! I really like your translations and there is a novel that i can’t find… Can you traduce Kyoukai no kanata? Please…
https://nanodesutranslations.wordpress.com/2014/08/29/new-project-recommendations-needed-fantasyscifiaction/ put it in the comments please.
Ah… scuse me 😦
Shouldn’t the head translator of Oregairu now host both Nanodesu’s and Froggy’s name instead of just Wintermance. I know it isn’t really relevant to anything but I’m a somewhat… stickler (I think it’s the right word) for these kind of things.
Aloha!
Fixed. Thanks for the catch.
Do you know where I can find Brothers Conflict light novel translations?
Is this what you are on about? http://koiiro.wordpress.com/2012/03/28/brothers-conflict-vol-1/#more-8514
Anyone know where to find the novel of Yuusha Hagure in aesthetics????
Any chance continue sakurasou pet?
At this point no plans to do so unfortunately.
thanks , is even possible to understand the novel using google translation?
You might be able to vaguely tell what’s going on, but a lot of details will be washed out.
ok thanks i will try , the google translate is the better one or exist others?
hey! guyz how do you translate novels do you use gtranslate …
I cant read japan or korean but i can help ….Info Plz
We do not use machine translation software and discourage people from doing so as a quality control policy. But thank you for your offer.
I already did suggest somewhere in this site!! but maybe, not in the right place, so i must say to the admistrators, soory for trouble!!! Well there is a light novel that it seems no one is translating, maybe because its difficult, i dont really know, i may be totally wrong so im soory!! The novel im talking about its Gate – Thus the JSDF Fought There!! There is the manga version of it but its updates are really slow, but even worse is how there is not atempt to translate the novel!! I readed the manga and loved it!!! To the ones who dont know about it but like stories with fantasy, adventure, romance, gore, and confrotations of modern world vs medieval magical world!! Well “Gate” have it all!!! I ask you to give a shot to the manga and if you like it Please help/ask the project to come online!!
Its currently translated by Skythewood.
I hope you guys can translate Seikoku no Ryuu Kishi, the struggle is real finding that one.
Hello! I just want to say a big, heartfelt THANK YOU for the amazing work you guys have done. I would like to offer y’all the best compliment I can— Your translations introduced me to japanese light novels and made me a great fan. Thank you once more.
Would you be willing to pick up Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai! The last group that did it dropped it D:
what did happen Gekka Hime translator: it is said that he would came back but it was posted a long time ago .
i hate japan neet they are trash all of them
Hmm not sure what the point of this comment was.
Apparently, you’re trash, nano…
Hmmm… Either the translation sites for all the various light novels are traffic heavy or there’s something wrong on my end cause I can’t access any of them. Funny thing is my firewall did not block any of the sites and I’m pretty sure the sites are not block in my country, but I can only access them with multiple tries when using a proxy server…
Whats going on?? o.O
Everything seems fine on our end.
is the translation of Fuyuu Gakuen no Alice and Shirley still going?
Yes.
Thanks
Hello nanosecond, It is my humble request that you can try to translate “tsukumodo antique shop”. Tsukumodo antique shop is a good LN(according to me only) but the progress at baka tsuki is painfully slow. If you have time and resources then please think about my request. I am sure many readers want to read it. I will be grateful to you.

Hi…. Good day! I’ve read from your “about us” that your work is to translate light novels.. However, uhm.. Can I request or recommend to you a light novel which was originally done 5 years ago (and still counting) and also needed to be translated? I don’t know if you’ll allow me but I’m looking forward for your consideration about it. The title of the light novel is Saiunkoku Monogatari… The Volume 1-16 and 17th’s prologue and chapter 1 were the ones done yet and the other chapters are still pending to be translated and no one has a time to do that after the last time (Volume 17 and 18 aren’t done- the last 2 volumes). So I’m looking forward for allowing me to my request/recommendation and also for your response to my message.. If you have a time, you can go check it out its story.. Thanks so much.
And also I’m in no rush of anything so take your time. I know translating a chapter especially coming from a light novel takes a lot of time so I understand.. If you are free, you may try of it also. Many have been waiting for that till now although we have given a spoilers but it’s still not yet enough but I thank them for giving anyway. If you’ll consider it and continue translating it then I’ll always thank you.. For a meantime, thank you again
Hi .. Thank you for the translation.
You’re always the best when it comes to translatation. And you provide many titles.
Looking forward for the rest of Rokka no Yuusha Vol.5 & Vol 5
Ganbare 🙂
Thanks so much for all these great translations. Have you guys ever thought of adding the shinmai maou no testament series to your list of projects. Though it gets pretty intense with the service it’s a really good series that has some pretty good action in it
When will the translation of Vol 8 of Korewa zombie desu ka begin.
Soon.
